StarSOM-6ULL Datasheet and Pinout
Contents
General description
The StarSOM-6ULL family is a SODIMM-sized SoM based on the NXP i.MX6 ULL application processor which features an advanced implementation of a single ARM Cortex-A7 core (at speeds up to 900MHz).
The StarSOM-6ULL is a low power highly integrated SoM (System on Module) featuring high computation power and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v5.1 connectivity. The option of integrated, fully certified Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module simplifies the carrier board design and is ideally suited for wireless application. The StarSOM-6ULL provides a variety memory configuration including flexible range of DDR3L, NAND, eMMC and SD memory card that meets our customers requirements.
The SoM supports connections to a variety of interfaces: two high-speed USB on-the-go with PHY, dual Ethernet, audio, display with touch panel and serial interfaces. In addition, the system supports industrial grade targeting embedded application.
SOMLabs also provides a complete hardware and software development board for the SoM in the form of a carrier board and optional TFT display and touch panel.

Important notes
1. Detail pin configurations description you can find, edit and arrange in dedicated MEX files (with free "i.MX Pin Tool" configurational tool):
VisionSOM-6ULL without WiFi module and no SDIO1 on edge connector or
VisionSOM-6ULL without WiFi module and with SDIO1 on edge connector or
VisionSOM-6ULL witht WiFi module on-board.
2. LCD_DATAxx pins are internally used for boot sequence configuration. We recommend to use LCD_DATAxx lines as outputs or using eFuse boot configuration.
