  • iMX6 TinyRex Module Ultra
  • iMX6 TinyRex Baseboard

Peripherals and Accessories

  • 1x FullHD monitor with Audio output
  • 1x HD signal generator
  • 1x MicroSD card
  • 1x MiniPCIe WiFi card
  • 1x RPi camera module
  • 1x SATA HDD drive
  • 2x USB FLASH drive

Cables

  • Ethernet cable
  • HDMI cable
  • Micro HDMI cable

  • USB to UART cable

User button

Input: Press the USER button
Output: Button events 1 and 0 are generated 

root@imx6-tinyrexultra:~# evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys*-event
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x1 product 0x1 version 0x100pio-keys.16-event .
Input device name: "gpio-keys.16"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
  Event type 1 (EV_KEY)
    Event code 116 (KEY_POWER)
Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Event: time 1453240251.571826, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 116 (KEY_POWER), value 1
Event: time 1453240251.571826, -------------- EV_SYN ------------
Event: time 1453240251.711820, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 116 (KEY_POWER), value 0
Event: time 1453240251.711820, -------------- EV_SYN ------------

Reset button

Input: Press the RESET button
Output: Module will execute bootloader immediately with "Reset cause: POR"
Note: Module should never freeze or hang after the reset button was pressed. Testing the operations 10 times gives a reliable result 

U-Boot 2014.10 (Jan 19 2016 - 20:37:48)

CPU:   Freescale i.MX6SOLO rev1.1 at 792 MHz
Reset cause: POR
Board: MX6 TinyRex - basic
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  512 MiB
MMC:   FSL_SDHC: 0, FSL_SDHC: 1, FSL_SDHC: 2
*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Net:   FEC [PRIME]
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

CAN

Input: None
Output: Device driver is available 

root@imx6-tinyrexbasic:~# ip addr show dev can0
2: can0: <NOARP,ECHO> mtu 16 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 10
    link/can

Note: Enhanced testing can be performed with a pair of iMX6 TinyRex Development boards and a couple of dedicated CAN evaluation modules

Board 1 (receiver) commands and outputs: 

root@imx6-tinyrexmax:~# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
root@imx6-tinyrexmax:~# ip link set can0 up
flexcan 2090000.flexcan can0: writing ctrl=0x01232054
root@imx6-tinyrexmax:~# candump can0 &
[1] 833
root@imx6-tinyrexmax:~#   can0  123   [4]  DE AD BE EF


Board 2 (transmitter) commands and outputs: 

root@imx6-tinyrexpro:~# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
root@imx6-tinyrexpro:~# ip link set can0 up
flexcan 2090000.flexcan can0: writing ctrl=0x01232054
root@imx6-tinyrexpro:~# candump can0 &
[1] 847
root@imx6-tinyrexpro:~# cansend can0 123#DEADBEEF
