• Connectivity – Dual-band, dual-antenna 2×2 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1 BLE (Ti WiLink 8), 10/100M Ethernet PHY (with optional bypass)
• Audio – WM8731 audio codec with stereo line-out, line-in, mic, S/PDIF input/output
• Other I/Os via 204-pin SODIMM edge connector
  • Display
    • Parallel 24-bit display interface up to 1366 x 768
    • Touchscreen 4/5/8-wire resistive touch-screen support
    • Capacitive touch-screen support through SPI interface
  • USB – 1x USB2.0 OTG + 4x USB2.0 host ports
  • Up to 8x UART ports
  • Up to 1x MMC/SD/SDIO interface
  • Up to 3x I2C, 3x SPI, 2x CAN, 78x GPIO
  • Up to 10x general-purpose ADC inputs
• Misc – RTC
• Power Supply –  3.2V to 5V / Li-Ion battery
• Dimensions 36 x 68 x 5 mm
• Temperature Range – -40 to 85°C

Sadly, Compulab did not provide much information about software support, just pointing out that “CL-SOM-iMX6UL is provided with comprehensive documentation and full ready-to-run SW packages for the Linux operating system”.

The carrier board is customizable depending on your requirements, and has the following specifications (full options):

• Display – LCD panel and LVDS interfaces, and DVI connector up tp 1366×768
• Network – 10/100M Ethertnet (RJ45), single or dual band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1
• Audio – 3.5mm jack for stereo output, line-in, microphone;
• USB – 1x USB 2.0 OTG micro-USB connector, 2x USB2.0 hosts, and up to 3x USB2.0 host via a 100-mil header.
• Storage – full-size SD socket (precludes WiFi/BT module)
• Serial Interfaces – 1x serial debug port (micro USB) or 1x serial debug port via RS232 transceiver, and Up-to 2x UART, 3.3V levels, 100-mil header
• Other I/Os – SPI, I2C, GPIO and ADC via 100-mil header
• Misc – Real time clock operated from on-board coin-cell battery
• Power Supply – Unregulated 8V to 15V
• Dimensions – 160 x 136 x 22 mm
• Temperature Range – Commercial: 0° to 70° C; Extended: -20° to 70° C; Industrial: -40° to 85° C.

Compulab CL-SOM-iMX6UL system-on-module will be available in November 2015 starting at $29 in 1K orders, while SB-SOM-iMX6UL carrier board will start at $81 for the  commercial temperature range version. You can find more details, including pricing for various options and quantities, on Compulab’s CL-SOM-iMX6UL and SBC-iMX6UL product pages.
