Does MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR include hardware support for secure boot?
Yes, MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR implements Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HAB v4) with SHA-256 hashing, 2048-bit RSA signature verification, and version control. Secure boot is enforced via CSU-fused configuration and executes from immutable Boot ROM before releasing control to user code - a requirement confirmed in the i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite Security Reference Manual (IMX6DQ6SDLSRM).
Can MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR drive two independent HDMI displays simultaneously?
No, MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR integrates a single HDMI 1.4 transmitter port. It supports one HDMI display plus one parallel/LVDS/MIPI DSI display concurrently (up to 450 MPixels/sec total), as specified in Section 1.2 of IMX6SDLCEC Rev. 9. Dual HDMI requires external bridge ICs or multiplexing.
What is the role of the MLB interface in MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR?
The MLB (MediaLB) interface in MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR provides native MOST25/50/150 network connectivity with integrated DTCP cipher acceleration. It enables secure, low-latency audio/video streaming to automotive infotainment head units or legacy building automation systems without CPU overhead - a function explicitly enabled in this variant per Table 1 of IMX6SDLCEC.
Is MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR pin-compatible with other i.MX 6DualLite variants in the same package?
Yes, MCIMX6U5EVM10ABR shares identical 484-ball MAPBGA mechanical footprint and signal-to-ball mapping with all i.MX 6DualLite parts in the 21 mm × 21 mm, 0.8 mm pitch package (e.g., MCIMX6U5DVM10AB, MCIMX6U5EVM10AC), as defined in Section 6.2 of IMX6SDLCEC Rev. 9 - enabling drop-in replacement within the same temperature grade family.
