MYS-6ULX Single Board Computer

Measuring only 70mm by 55mm, the MYS-6ULX is a high-performance low-cost Single Board Computer specially designed for Industry 4.0 (Industrie 4.0) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It is based on NXP’s i.MX 6UltraLite / 6ULL processor family which features the most efficient ARM Cortex-A7 core and can operate at 528 MHz. It has two 2.0mm pitch 2x20-pin headers on board to allow extension of the controller signals and ports to the base board through headers and connectors, thus exposing more features of the i.MX 6UL / 6ULL ARM Cortex-A7 Processors, so it can also be used as a System-on-Module (SoM) for your next embedded design.

The MYS-6ULX has two variants of boards which are called MYS-6ULX-IND and MYS-6ULX-IOT to meet different applications. The MYS-6ULX-IND is targeting industry 4.0 applications and based on i.MX6UL series processors while the MYS-6ULX-IOT is oriented for IoT applications and using i.MX6ULL series processors. They share the same hardware circuit design and fully compatible in software but also have their own characteristics. The MYS-6ULX-IOT has additionally a USB based WiFi module with antenna on the board. The MYS-6ULX-IND can support -40 to +85 Celsius extended temperature operation, which makes the board more suitable for industrial control and communication applications. MYIR has ported Linux 5.10.9 for the board with Debian distribution as well as Yocto project with ported QT. MYIR has also provided an interesting demo to enable customers to experience Amazon Alexa Voice Service.

MYIR has also designed an expansion board MYB-6ULX which is connected to the MYS-6ULX board through its onboard two 2.0mm pitch 2 x 20-pin expansion headers. The expansion board has extended one more Ethernet for MYS-6ULX and also added CAN, RS485, Audio, RTC and Camera functions which has further enhanced the performance of MYS-6ULX board. MYIR will offer optional LCD modules, Camera and WiFi modules to add functionality to the boards, which would be a complete embedded system.

The MYS-6ULX Single Board Computer takes full features of the i.MX 6UltraLite / 6ULL processors. Below table list the features of the two variants of the MYS-6ULX boards to help customers make choices according to their requirements.

Hardware Features

i.MX 6UltraLite: The i.MX 6UltraLite processor family featuring an advanced implementation of a single ARM® Cortex®-A7 core, which operates at speeds up to 696 MHz. It includes an integrated power management module that reduces the complexity of external power supply and simplifies power sequencing. Each processor in this family provides various memory interfaces, including 16-bit LPDDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, raw and managed NAND flash, NOR flash, eMMC, Quad SPI and a wide range of other interfaces for connecting peripherals such as WLAN, Bluetooth™, GPS, displays and camera sensors.

MYIR is using the 14 x 14mm, 0.8 mm ball pitch, 289 MAPBGA package i.MX6UL application processor on the MYS-6ULX-IND board which provides multiple compatible options of G0, G1, G2 and G3 sub families. The MCIMX6G2CVM05A is the default part with the board and MYIR offers optional configurations for mass customization.
