Yocto and Buildroot

The Linux BSP "fsimx7ulp-B2019.12" is based on Buildroot, a software for creating root file systems. About 1400 different software packages can be added to the root file system using menu control. The range of functions ranges from simple libraries and utilities to a complete Java environment to complete graphical environments such as Qt or X11, including applications such as an HTML5-capable web browser. In this way, it is very easy to put together a customized Linux system.

As an alternative to Buildroot, there is also a Yocto-based environment. We offer the Linux BSP fsimx7ulp-Y2020.03, which is based on Yocto.

Our standard configuration, which should give a first impression of the functional scope of the module, contains the following features: Busybox, gdb, alsa-utils, gstreamer, fbv, X11R7, matchbox, feh, openssl, openssh, ncurses, can-utils, iproute2, ftpd, httpd, telnet, tftp, and much more

Both BSPs include the source code packages from U-Boot (2017.03), Linux kernel (based on 4.9.88) and Buildroot (2019.05.01) or Yocto (2.4) adapted by F&S. In addition, our cross toolchain is included, some sample applications and all binaries in the standard configuration. And last but not least, detailed documents on the hardware are included as well as the first steps documentation for easy entry.

F&S also offers a virtual machine (based on VirtualBox) with an installed Linux based on the Fedora 27 distribution for free download. All packages necessary to translate our software are already installed. All services (NFS, TFTP) for working with our boards are also installed. Our BSP is unpacked and precompiled in the right directories. With this virtual machine it doesn't matter whether you use Windows or Linux as the host. Simply download the VHD, import it into VirtualBox and development can begin immediately.

Computer on Module with NXP i.MX 7ULP

The first member of the new and compact PicoCore™ Computer On Module product family is offered with NXP i.MX 7ULP ARM® CPU.
Further PicoCore™ modules will folllow.
The size of 35 x 40mm only allows use in compact housings.

Heterogeneous Multicore Processor Concept

A NXP CPU with Dual-Core ARM® Cortex®-A7 with 800MHz and Cortex®-M4 Core is used. NXP pursues its heterogeneous concept with Linux on the ARM® Cortex®-A7 core and FreeRTOS on the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core.
The Cortex-M4 can be used for fast control and regulation functions or for processing fast interface protocols.
Both cores (Cortex-A7 and -M4) are connected to the internal bus fabric and have the possibility to access all peripherals.
The CPU offers 2D Graphics Accelerator for media applications.

The NXP iMX7 ULP stands for an extremely low power consumption and long battery life.
Targeted towards the growing market of portable devices.

It is very well suited for projects focusing on low size and energy consumption.

Power Consumption in Deep Power Down Mode is about 12mW only and in Run Mode (LCD on, Idle) about 280mW only.

More Information On NXP i.MX 7ULP Applications Processor

 

The PicoCore™MX7ULP low power embedded system comes with up to 1GB LPDDR3 RAM, 64MB SPI Flash and 32GB eMMC Flash.

Numerous Interfaces

The microcontroller offers interfaces such as WLAN, BT, 5x Serial, USB2.0 OTG and 3x I²C.

LCD TFTs can be connected via MIPI-DSI. Touch is available externally via I²C.

Operating System

The customized operating system Linux Yocto supports all interfaces, guaranteeing an easy software development without a deeper understanding of hardware.

For a smooth evaluation we offer an iMX7 ULP development board with Linux.

Long-term Availability Up Until 2029

Another feature is the long-term availability until minimum 2029.
