Product details
Overview
MCIMX6X1EVK10AB from NXP is an evaluation kit for the i.MX 6SoloLite applications processor, featuring a single Cortex-A9 core at up to 1.0 GHz, 256 KB L2 cache, EPD controller support for e-paper displays, and 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2 memory interface. It targets e-readers and embedded devices requiring low-power, high-contrast display control.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB datasheet, MCIMX6X1EVK10AB pinout, MCIMX6X1EVK10AB application, or MCIMX6X1EVK10AB equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of EPD-based UIs, real-time Linux boot performance, power sequencing, and peripheral bring-up including USB, eMMC, and RGB display interfaces.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6X1EVK100AB (note: correct part is MCIMX6X1EVK10AB per NXP documentation) implements the i.MX 6SoloLite reference design with full hardware abstraction for the i.MX6SL processor, including on-board PMIC (PF0100), 512 MB LPDDR2, 4 GB eMMC, and dual USB OTG ports. It supports boot from SD, eMMC, or QSPI flash.
Designed for EPD-centric development, the board integrates the i.MX6SL's dedicated E Ink® controller supporting resolutions up to 2332 × 1650 at 5-bit grayscale, alongside RGB parallel output, two USB 2.0 PHYs, and no Ethernet/CAN/ADC - matching the processor's targeted feature set for ultra-low-power consumer displays.

FAQ
What is the primary target application for the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB?
The MCIMX6X1EVK10AB is purpose-built for evaluating and developing e-reader and EPD-based human-machine interfaces. It provides full hardware access to the i.MX 6SoloLite's dedicated E Ink controller, enabling waveform tuning, partial refresh optimization, and low-power sleep mode validation - critical for battery-operated e-paper devices where display update efficiency defines user experience.
Does the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB support HDMI or LVDS video output?
No, the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB does not support HDMI or LVDS. Its display subsystem is optimized exclusively for electronic paper displays via the integrated EPD controller and parallel RGB interface. The i.MX 6SoloLite processor itself lacks HDMI/LVDS transmitters, and the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB board omits those physical interfaces to maintain focus on ultra-low-power EPD use cases.
Can the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB run Linux distributions such as Yocto Project or Buildroot?
Yes, the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB is fully supported by NXP's official Linux BSP (L3.0.35_4.1.0) and later Yocto releases (e.g., morty, thud). It boots mainline Linux kernels with device tree support for its specific peripherals - including the EPD controller, PF0100 PMIC, and eMMC - enabling full system validation of real-world e-reader software stacks using MCIMX6X1EVK10AB hardware.
Is Ethernet or CAN interface available on the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB?
No, neither Ethernet nor CAN is implemented on the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB. This aligns with the i.MX 6SoloLite's silicon specification, which excludes MAC blocks and FlexCAN controllers. The board instead emphasizes USB OTG, microSD, and QSPI - matching the processor's intended role in display-centric, non-networked portable devices like e-readers.
What power sources are compatible with the MCIMX6X1EVK10AB?
The MCIMX6X1EVK10AB accepts 5 V DC input via barrel jack or USB OTG port and supports Li-ion battery operation through its onboard PF0100 PMIC. The PMIC provides regulated voltages for the i.MX 6SoloLite core, memory, and I/O, with battery fuel gauging and charge control - enabling realistic power profiling for portable EPD devices using MCIMX6X1EVK10AB as the reference platform.
