1 System Description

TIDA-050043 is first-and-foremost a reference design for powering the NXP i.MX 6ULL processor from the TPS6521815 PMIC. To show that the PMIC can power the processor, it made the most sense to build a data concentrator design that can also be used as a full evaluation kit (EVK) board with a variety of peripheral devices to assist with development of various end equipments. As a result, there are a variety of wired connections available, as well as multiple BOOT options. The end result of adding all the peripherals, especially a 5-port USB hub, is that some external load switches have been added to provide more voltage rails to deliver 5-V USB from the input to the USB hub. Finally, to ensure the entire board is operational, we developed and tested software using the open-source embedded Linux Yocto SDK to get started working with this design.
