Product details
Overview
MCIMX6X3EVK10AB from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a SABRE-based evaluation kit for the i.MX 6SoloLite application processor, featuring a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 core, integrated E Ink® display controller (EPDC), 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2 memory interface at 400 MHz, Vivante GC880 3D GPU (53 Mtri/s), and support for HDMI, LVDS, and parallel displays. It targets low-power eReader, smart energy meter, and monochrome HMI development.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB datasheet, MCIMX6X3EVK10AB pinout, MCIMX6X3EVK10AB application, or MCIMX6X3EVK10AB equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of EPD-driven UIs, power-optimized Linux/Android BSPs, and peripheral integration including SD/MMC 4.4, USB 2.0 HS, I²C, SPI, UART, and audio codecs - with full hardware debug via JTAG and serial interfaces.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6X3EVK10AB implements the i.MX 6SoloLite SoC in a 13×13 mm, 0.5 mm pitch BGA package, operating at 1 GHz with 256 KB L2 cache, TrustZone security, and hardware-accelerated video decode (1080p30 SW-only). Its EPDC supports E Ink waveform control, partial refresh, and dual-display output (parallel + EPD).
It integrates the MMPF0100 PMIC for power management, Wolfson audio codec for analog/digital audio I/O, and on-board peripherals including accelerometer, ambient light sensor, and microSD slot. The board uses an 8-layer PCB with dedicated LVDS, HDMI, and EPD connectors to isolate high-speed display signaling.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB evaluation kit?
The MCIMX6X3EVK10AB is a Freescale/NXP-designed SABRE-based evaluation kit for the i.MX 6SoloLite SoC. Its primary function is to accelerate development of EPD-driven devices such as eReaders and smart energy meters by providing validated hardware, reference schematics, and BSP support for Linux and Android - all centered around the SoC's integrated EPDC and low-power 1 GHz Cortex-A9 core.
Does the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB support HDMI video output?
No, the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB does not support HDMI video output. While the i.MX 6SoloLite SoC includes HDMI transmitter logic, this specific evaluation kit omits the HDMI PHY and connector. It instead prioritizes E Ink® display support via its EPDC interface and provides parallel RGB and LVDS outputs for monochrome or low-power displays.
Which operating systems are officially supported on the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB?
NXP officially supports Linux (kernel 3.0.35) and Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB via BSP releases dated July 2013. These include optimized drivers for the EPDC, Vivante GC880 GPU, MMPF0100 PMIC, and Wolfson audio codec - all validated on the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB hardware platform.
What display technologies does the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB natively support?
The MCIMX6X3EVK10AB natively supports E Ink® displays via its integrated EPDC, enabling partial refresh, waveform control, and dual-panel driving. It also supports parallel RGB (up to WXGA 1366×768) and LVDS interfaces. HDMI is not implemented on this board, distinguishing it from i.MX 6Quad/Dual-based SABRE kits.
Is the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB pin-compatible with other i.MX 6 evaluation kits?
No, the MCIMX6X3EVK10AB is not pin-compatible with other i.MX 6 evaluation kits. It is based on the i.MX 6SoloLite SoC in a 13×13 mm, 0.5 mm pitch BGA package - distinct from the 21×21 mm, 0.8 mm pitch packages used in i.MX 6Dual/Quad SABRE boards. Hardware expansion and peripheral routing are unique to this EPD-optimized form factor.
