PHYTEC does not recommend starting new development based on this BSP. Please use the PD15.1.1 release instead.
This BSP provides a basis for development, deployment and execution of Linux based applications on the phyFLEX-i.MX6 System on Module (SOM). For detailed information on the various software components included in the release and how to use them, please refer to the Quickstart.

| 1364.3 [B] | 1367.2 [A] | ||
| 1364.2 [A] | 1367.1 [B] |
[A] Does not fully support PCIe. FLEX Mapper board does not include nPCIe0_PERST. FLEX Baseboard missing 100Ω termination resistor on PCIe clock and reset for an extra PCIe.
[B] Hardware interface does not support Camera0 interface extension and full 18-bit Camera0 (missing J6 and J7 for CSI0_DAT3 and CSI0_DAT2 signal multiplexing). Different reset out circuitry for Camera0 and Camera1. JP12 does not exist (X_CAMERA1_CLK & X_CAMERA0_CLK).
Compatability Warnings
This BSP is not backwards compatible and has no workaround for 1362.0 SOM and 1364.1 Baseboard due to a change in PCB pinout, see Modification of the pinout for the phyFLEX-i.MX6 (PLF-A-XL1)

[1] It may be possible to change the software configuration to utilize this interface even if it is not being set in the board's default configuration. Please see the External Signals and Pin Multiplexing section of Freescale's i.MX6Q Technical Reference manual for more information on the various modes each pin can be muxed to.
Signal names may change between processor and PCBs. Please refer to the phyFLEX-i.MX6 Hardware Manual for signal name mapping.

Known Issues
PHYTEC Known Issues
- CAN will not work correctly with 1Mbit/s
- USB Host (USB_DN0): Requires devices to be plugged in on boot.
- LCD-Backlight: setting brightness via userspace (sys/class/backlight/) does not work. However, toggling bl_power functions properly).
- WiFi issue with phyFLEX baseboard:
- SD3 SDIO lines for WiFi are shared with the SD interface that is used to boot the kernel and root filesystem. Therefore, you cannot boot from SD card and enable WiFi at the same time.
- Workaround: Boot the kernel and root filesystem from network or the kernel and root filesystem from the SD2 interface.
- WiFi Calibrator Utility is not included. Additional development is required to integrate the WiLink WiFi Calibrator Utility.
