To order the OM3710/B001, please contact your NXP representative. It is also possible
to execute the A71CH Host Library on a development PC by using the A71CH mini PCB
(OM3710/A71CHPCB), the i.MX6UltraLite evaluation kit (MCIMX6UL-EVKB) and the
RJCT server.
3. Supported MCUs / MPUs
The A71CH can be integrated in various host platforms and operating systems. To
facilitate fast product evaluation, the A71CH Host software package is ported and ready
to be used for the reference host MCUs detailed in this section.
In case that A71CH Host software needs to be ported to another MCU, it is important to
note that the A71CH Host interface is based on the Smart Card I2C protocol (SCIIC).
This protocol is documented in SCI2C Protocol Specification [SCI2C].
i.MX6UltraLite evaluation kit (MCIMX6UL-EVKB)
The i.MX6UltraLite processor is a high-performance, ultra-efficient processor family
featuring an advanced implementation of a single ARM Cortex-A7 core operating at
speeds up to 696 MHz. It is supported by the i.MX6UltraLite evaluation kit (MCIMX6UL-
