'''(*) Note:''' the μSD slot is 3.3V powered and has no provisions to manage the insertion or the removal of the
μSD card with power applied, and thus no ESD protections equip the μSD slot.<br>
The insertion or the removal of a μSD card with applied power may result in a permanent damage to the
card or, worst, to the NOVAsom U5 board.<br>
The card MUST be inserted without power applied.<br>
The presence switch that equips the μSD slot of the NOVAsom U5 board signals to the processor that a card
is in the slot, thus allowing the boot process to read the bootloader from the μSD slot.<br>
If the card is not found when the power is applied the boot process will look in eMMC chip for a valid
bootloader code but the presence of the eMMC depends on the NOVAsom U5 board equipment.<br>
The μSD slot is a push-push operated slot.<br>
Removing the μSD card without pushing will result in mechanical failure of the slot itself.

=Operational characteristics=
===Development system requirements===
From the NOVAsom Industries web site [https://www.novasomindustries.com | www.novasomindustries.com] the user can download the NOVAsom SDK to ease the development process for all the NOVAsom Industries boards. <br>
The NOVAsom U5 board is currently supported at the boot level, and there is the standard BSP support in form of device tree blob, or DTB.<br>
The NOVAsom SDK is a virtual machine tool, running on a Fedora 20 core and based on VirtualBox. <br>
The Virtual Machine is thus compatible with hosts based on Windows™, MacOS™ or Linux machines.<br>
More detailed information about the installation process of the NOVAsom SDK can be found visiting the NOVAsom Industries web site at  [https://www.novasomindustries.com | www.novasomindustries.com].<br>
Normally, for a relatively relaxed development, an I5 host with 60 GBytes of free hard disk space and 8GBytes of RAM is enough.<br>
For very heavy developments (as a complex 3D supported Qt file system or a Chromium X based application) “the bigger is better”, so more RAM you can dedicate to the Virtual Machine the faster the Virtual Machine will run.<br>
A more than good situation is an I7 host with 16GB of RAM and 128GB of free disk space.<br>
For connecting to the NOVAsom U5 console you need a serial port, and considering that on modern desktop the serial port is not present a USB to Serial adapter is probably the only choice you have.<br>
Finally, you need a µSD written with a basic file system, and a way to physically write the µSD itself.<br>
You can download a µSD image from the [https://www.novasomindustries.com | www.novasomindustries.com] page in the NOVAsom U5 dedicated section, where you can find all the information about how to write a µSD from the NOVAsom U5 image you just downloaded using your preferred host system.

===The NOVAsom U5 console===
In order to use the serial console available on the NOVAsom U5 board you need a serial terminal.<br>
GtkTerm is a good choice for Linux users, Teraterm is a nice choice for Windows™ users, it’s up to MacOS™ users to understand which kind of terminal application they need.<br>
The NOVAsom U5 port is a standard RS232 serial port with a bit rate of 115200 with no flow control and 1 stop bit.<br>
The pins from where to connect the serial port are pin 1 of J14 (TXD from NOVAsom U5 board), pin 2 of J14 (RXD to NOVAsom U5 board) and pin 3 of J14 (the GND connection), respectively connected to the pins 2,3 and 5 of a 9 pins DB connector, normally found on USB to Serial adapters.<br>
Just plug both the power supply and the serial port and you will see the boot process of  your new NOVAsom  U5 board.

===The first boot===
The steps in order to boot your NOVAsom U5 board are:
* Create the µSD with a standard file system as described in chapter 6.1 above
* Insert the just written µSD in the J4 slot (note this is a push-push connector, avoid to extract the µSD forcing it or you can break the J4 µSD slot)
* Connect the serial port to your NOVAsom U5 
* Insert an appropriate power source chord in the J1 connector and power it on.
After just some half a second you should see on your terminal application something similar to what you see in Figure 13 below, and this means you have your NOVAsom U5 powered up and running.

[[File:U5booting.png|none|600px]]
 
''Figure 13: The NOVAsom U5 first boot''

A special note about the µSD slot: the µSD slot has not been designed to insert or remove the µSD card with power applied, so inserting or removing a µSD card with applied power may result in a permanent damage to the card or, worst, to the NOVAsom U5 board.<br>
The card MUST be inserted without power applied.<br>
The presence switch that equips the µSD slot of the NOVAsom U5 board signals to the processor that a card is in the slot, thus allowing the boot process to read the boot loader from the µSD slot. <br>
If the card is not found when the power is applied the boot process will look in qSPI chip (if present) for a valid boot loader code, but remember that the presence of the qSPI chip depends on the NOVAsom U5 board configuration.<br>

===Connections to J16===
J16 supports a lot of signals, and most of them are connected at the processor level without buffering or protection.<br>
Although the processor is quite protected on over and under voltages, care should be taken in order to avoid to stress the processor outside the recommended operating conditions, or permanent damages will result on the processor itself.<br>
It’s quite common to overtake a ringing digital signal that stresses the processor outside the recommended operating conditions, so if you are in doubt use dump series resistors in the order of 1 KΩ for input signals.<br>
In the table 3 the signals are named as the standard DTB factory functions, and the colored functions are the functions provided by the standard DTB factory functions.<br>
You can find all the information on how to change a pin function visiting the [https://www.novasomindustries.com | www.novasomindustries.com] page in the NOVAsom U5 dedicated section, where you can find a lot of application notes and already developed tools and examples.

===Connecting an external battery to the NOVAsom U5 board===
The connector J2 is minded to connect a 3.7V external battery.<br>
The external battery will be used on systems that need to be powered by an external battery.<br>
On the other hand, the battery can be of a rechargeable type (Li-Ion or Lithium coin cell) and will be charged with 450 mA  from the 5V supply.<br>
Care should be taken to connect the correct battery (a 3.7V battery is requested, higher voltages will immediately destroy your NOVAsom U5 board) and connect the battery in the correct way, where the pin 1 of J2 is the positive and the pin 2 is the negative. A power inversion can permanently damage the battery or, worst, damage your NOVAsom U5 board.

===Developing a NOVAsom U5 extension board===
The i.MX 6ULL contains a limited number of pins, most of which have multiple signal options. These signal to pin and pin to signal options are selected by the input/output multiplexer called IOMUX.<br>
The IOMUX is also used to configure other pin characteristics, such as voltage level, drive strength, and hysteresis.<br>
Due to this, all the I/O pins on J16 behave as input at power up, and until the bootloader or the kernel are up and running, they are substantially configured as input.
All the inputs have an internal 100kΩ pull up to the VCC rail, whichever the VCC is.<br>
Keeping this in mind, all the pins that are configured to be an output needs a pull down resistor in the range of 15kΩ in order to keep the particular signal at the low level, if needed.<br>
This is true for all the I/O pins marked with the green or orange box in Table 3 for J16.

The following Table 6 indicates the recommendations of the special function pin.

  <tr>
    <td>USB: USB_OTG_DP, USB_OTG_DN, USBDN_DP2, USBDN_DM2, USBDN_DP3, USBDN_DM3: 90 Ω impedance</td>
    <td>• Route the high-speed clocks and the DP and DM differential pair first.
• Route DP and DM signals on the top or bottom layer of the board
• The trace width and spacing of the DP and DM signals should be such that the differential impedance is 90 Ω.
• Route traces over continuous planes (power and ground). — They should not pass over any power/GND plane slots or anti-etch. — When placing connectors, make sure the ground plane clear-outs  around each pin have ground continuity between all pins.
• Maintain the parallelism (skew matched) between DP and DM; these traces should be the same overall length.
• Do not route DP and DM traces under oscillators or parallel to clock traces and/or data buses.
• Minimize the lengths of high-speed signals that run parallel to the DP and DM pair.
• Keep DP and DM traces as short as possible.
• Route DP and DM signals with a minimum number of corners. Use 45-degree turns instead of 90-degree turns.
• Avoid layer changes (vias) on DP and DM signals.
• Do not create stubs or branches.
• Ferrite beads should NOT be placed on the USB D+/D– signal lines as this can cause USB signal integrity problems. For radiated emissions problems due to USB, a common mode choke may be placed on the D+/D– signal lines. However, in most cases, it should not be required if the PCB layout is satisfactory. Ideally, the common mode choke should be approved for high speed USB use or tested thoroughly to verify there are no signal integrity issues created.

''Table 6: Groups recommendations''

Here there are some basic rules for the correct interfacing to J16:
* Don’t overdrive an input pin: all the pins have a 3.3V logic. Avoid to drive a normally powered 3.3V pin with values that exceeds those defined in Table 5: Recommended operating conditions.
* Pay attention to overshoot or undershoot, and if present use a damp resistor in the range of 100 Ω to 1K Ω in series. The internal protection of the i.MX6ULL will do the rest.
* Understand the idle logic level (e.g. during reset) and use the appropriate pull up or pull down if needed, in the range of 15kΩ. The i.MX6 processor has an internal pull up of 100 kΩ  at power up on all I/O pins, so during the reset phase and for all the boot phases the I/O pins of the i.MX6 will float high. For example, if you drive an external load activated with a low level, you will get a logic one on the I/O pin until the kernel has not defined this is an output pin (some 5 to 12 seconds after power is applied, depending on file system size), so you will have your load activated during all the boot phases.
* Avoid short circuits between pins or between pins and power, even for limited time. Although the i.MX6 is quite well protected, this rises power dissipation, may lead to pin breaks or worst and in any case is not a good practice.
* Check thoroughly the impedance matching and trace lengths on the “special” signals listed in Table 6.
* Select the right output strength in the DTB file of your BSP and avoid using excessive strength for signals that don’t need this. Also, consider carefully the FAST output mode, as this leads to EMI problems and ring on not well-matched traces.
* The I2C lines (I2C2_SCL, I2C2_SDA) has a 3.3KΩ pull ups on the NOVAsom U5 board to their own power. Avoid to place additional pull ups on the I2C lines, as this may lead to malfunctioning due to excessive load.
* The USB HOST channels on J13 (USB_OTGDP and USB_OTG_DN) have already the power protections and management on the NOVAsom U5 board, and can be driven using a schematic like the one in the following Figure 14.

<table border=solid cellspacing=0>
  <tr>
    <td>Power is applied but I can’t see anything on the terminal output.</td>
    <td>
• Check your µSD has been correctly inserted in J4 slot and power is applied.<br>
• Check your µSD has been correctly written. The µSD has an initial FAT partition, so you can check if it’s correctly written on a Windows™, MacOS™ or Linux machine. If you can’t read the µSD this means it is broken or badly written, try to rewrite it or substitute it with a new one.<br>
• Check if the green led D11 (power) is on. If it’s not on check your power supply voltage, current and wire orientation. Protections on the NOVAsom U5 board permit you to connect an inverted power, but not on overvoltage, so be careful. An undervoltage situation will not damage the NOVAsom U5 board, an overvoltage will damage your NOVAsom U5 board for sure.<br>
• Check if the green led D9 (heartbeat) blinks. If the steps above are checked this should indicate a hardware failure.<br>
• Check the connection with your serial port or the application you use as a terminal are correct. If still you don’t find anything wrong this should indicate a hardware failure.
