About the i.MX 6UltraLite Evaluation Kit
The i.MX 6 UltraLite evaluation kit (EVK) introduces developers
to the i.MX 6UltraLite applications processor. To speed up
development, the hardware design files, tools and board support
packages (BSP) for the Linux operating system are available.
There are a number of accessory boards that work with the i.MX
6UltraLite EVK to provide additional capabilities such as resistive
touch display; Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) WiFi® and
Bluetooth connectivity. Refer to freescale.com/iMX6ULEVK
for further information.

Set Up the System
1. Insert SD Card
• Insert the MicroSD card into socket J301 on the CPU board (700-28617).
Note: Pay careful attention to the microSD connector as it is fragile. Slide the
connector up or down, following the open and close arrows on the connector
in order to place the microSD card inside and lock it in place. See the
Getting Started Video at freescale.com/iMX6ULEVK for an example.

2. Connect USB Debug Cable (optional)
• Connect the micro-B end of the USB cable into debug port J1901 on the base
board (700-28616). Connect the other end of the cable to a PC acting as a host
terminal. One UART connection will appear on the PC for debugging. If needed,
the Serial to USB drivers can be found at: silabs.com/products/mcu/
Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
• Open the terminal window (i.e. Hyper Terminal or TeraTerm) and apply the
following configuration:
Baud Rate: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None
3. Connect LCD Module (optional)
• Connect the FPC cable of LCD module (LCD8000-43T) to the LCD connector
J901 on the base board (700-28616) with the silver side of the cable facing down.
Note: The LCD Module is sold separately at freescale.com/iMX6ULEVK.

4. Connect Ethernet Cable (optional)
• Connect an Ethernet cable to the right port of the Ethernet Jack J1501
(close to the HDMI connector).
5. Connect Power Supply
• Connect the plug of the 5V power supply to the DC power jack J2001 on the
base board (700-28616) and slide the power switch SW2001 to ON. When the
power is connected to the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK, it will automatically begin the
boot sequence.
Boot Process for Linux Image
• During the boot process, there will be operating system status information
scrolling on the terminal window of the PC (if connected). The Linux penguin
images will initially appear in the upper left corner of the LCD screen.
• When the boot process is complete, the Linux operating system (Yocto Project)
will be displayed on the LCD screen.
To work from the terminal window on the host PC, press enter at the terminal window
to get the command prompt. Account name: root, password none.

Button Functions
The button operations table shows the functions of the push buttons and switches
on the board.
Item
Description
SW2101
Evaluation board ON/OFF button
• In Yocto Project, a short press of the button will generate an interrupt that is defined
by the user.
• A prolonged press of the button (>5 sec) will force an immediate hardware shutdown.
• If board is in the SHUTDOWN state, a short press of the button will restart (boot)
the system.
• If the board is in the STANDBY state, a short press of the button will bring the system
out of standby (resume operations, no boot).
SW2102
Evaluation board RESET button
• A press of the button will reset the system and begin a boot sequence.
SW2001
Evaluation board power switch
• Switching to the ON position connects the 5V power supply to the EVK main
power system.
• Switching to the OFF position immediately removes all power from the board.

Download BSP Images
The board images can be downloaded to the target board by using the manufacturing
tool, named MFGTool, which runs on a computer with the Windows® operating system.
The MFGTool zip file can be found at freescale.com/iMX6ULEVK.
Perform the following steps to download the board images:
1. Unzip the MFGTool file to a selected location. The directory is named MFGTool-Dir
in this example.
2. If the MFGTool is a version with rootfs, you can skip to step 4.
3.
If the MFGTool is a version without rootfs, copy the following files from the demo
images packages to the “MFGTool-Dir/Profiles/Linux/OS Firmware/files” path,
make sure the file names are the same as the files listed below.
• u-boot-imx6ulevk_sd.imx
• zImage-imx6ul-14x14-evk.dtb
• zImage
• rootfs_nogpu.tar.bz2
4. Switch SW602 to OFF, ON
(from 1-2 bit) to enter serial download
mode as shown in Figure 2.

5. Make sure the MicroSD card is inserted into socket J301 on the CPU board
(700-28617).
6. Connect the micro-B end of the USB cable into OTG port (J1102) on the base
board (700-28616). Connect the other end of the cable to a PC running Windows OS.
The i.MX 6UltraLite will be enumerated as a HID device on PC.
7. Connect the plug of the 5V power supply to the DC power jack J2001 on the base
board (700-28616). Then slide the power switch SW2001 to ON.
8. Double click the file *.vbs according to the target device as shown:
Target Boot Device
VBS file
SD Card (USDHC-1)
mfgtool2-yocto-mx-evk-sdcard-sd1.vbs
MicroSD Card (USDHC-2, default)
mfgtool2-yocto-mx-evk-sdcard-sd2.vbs
Quad SPI NOR Flash
mfgtool2-yocto-mx-evk-spi-nor.vbs
Note: MicroSD Card is the default setting.
