1 Preface
As a member of PHYTEC's phyBOARD®product family the phyBOARD‑Segin i.MX 6UL/ULL is one of a series of
PHYTEC System on Modules (SBCs) that offer off-the-shelf solutions for a huge variety of industrial applications. The
new phyBOARD®product family consists of a series of extremely compact embedded control engines featuring
various processing performance classes. All phyBOARDs are rated for industry, cost-optimized, and offer long-term
availability. The phyBOARD‑Segin i.MX 6UL/ULL is one of currently six industrial-grade carrier boards that are
suitable for series production and that have been realized in accordance with PHYTEC's new SBCplus concept. It is
an excellent example of this concept.
SBCplus Concept
The SBCplus concept was developed to meet fine differences in customer requirements with little development
effort and greatly reduce the time-to-market.
The core of the SBCplus concept is the SBC design library (a kind of construction set) that consists of a great
number of function blocks (so-called "building blocks") which are refined constantly. The recombination of these
function blocks enables the development of a customer-specific SBC within a short time. PHYTEC is able to deliver
production-ready custom Single Board Computers within a few weeks at very low costs.
The already developed SBCs, such as the phyBOARD‑Segin i.MX 6UL/ULL, each represents an intersection of
different customer wishes. Because of that all, necessary interfaces are already available on the standard versions,
allowing PHYTEC to integrate them in a large number of applications without modification. For any necessary detail
adjustment, extension connectors are available to enable adding of a wide variety of functions.
Cost-optimized with Half-Hole Technology
At the heart of the phyBOARD‑Segini.MX6UL/ULL is the phyCORE-i.MX6UL/ULL System on Module (SOM). As with
other SBCs of the phyBOARD®family, the SOM can be directly soldered onto the carrier board PCB for routing of
signals from the SOM to applicable I/O interfaces. This Half-Hole Technology of the SOM eliminates costly PCB to
PCB connectors, thereby further reducing overall system costs, and making the phyBOARDs ideally suited for
deployment into a wide range of cost-optimized and robust industrial applications.
Customized Expandability from Phytec
Common interface signals route to standard connector interfaces on the carrier board such as Ethernet, CAN,
RS-232, and audio. Due to the easily modifiable phyBOARD design approach (see "SBCplus concept"), these plug-
and-play interfaces can be readily adapted in customer-specific variants according to end system requirements.
Some signals from the processor populating the SOM also extend to the expansion, and A/V connectors of the
phyBOARD‑Segin i.MX 6UL/ULL. This provides for customized expandability according to end-user requirements.
Thus expandability is made easy by available plug-and-play expansion modules from Phytec.
HDMI and LVDS/Parallel Displays
Power Supply, with a broad voltage range
Industrial I/O (including WLAN)
Home-Control Board (WiFi, KNX/EIB, I/O)
M2M Board (GPS, GSM, I/O's)
Debug Adapter
The default orientation of the expansion bus connectors is parallel and on the top side of the carrier board PCB.
However, in custom configurations, the connectors can be mounted on the PCB's underside. Connectors in
perpendicular orientation can also populate the top or underside of the PCB. This enables maximum flexibility for
the orientation of expansion modules on the phyBOARD‑Segin i.MX 6UL/ULL, as well as the integration of the
system into a variety of end application physical envelopes and form factors.
