Description

This reference design is a fully functional development board integrating a TI PMIC, TPS6521815, with NXP® i.MX 7Dual application processor. The hardware design consists of DDR3L SDRAM (2x512MB), 64MB Serial NOR Flash, 8GB eMMC 5.0 iNAND, SD Card interface v3.0, 50-pin LCD connector for external TFT display interface, 1000Base-T Ethernet, USB2.0 Type A and micro-AB, Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) CSI for external camera interface, and mini-PCIe interface. This design is intended for any project using the i.MX 7Solo or i.MX 7Dual processor and requires evaluation of alternate power options.
