The heart of AXELULite AXEL ULite system-on-module (SOM for short) is composed by the following components:

This article shortly describes the main AXELULite AXEL ULite components.

* Security BlockModule, including:** TRNGTrue and Pseudo Random Number Generator** Crypto Engine (AES with DPA, TDES/SHA/RSA)Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module** Secure Non-Volatile Storage with Violation/Tamper Monitor** Secure Bootdetection and reporting

AXELULite AXEL ULite can equip the entire range of i.MX6UL SOC models with the following main features:

| '''Size min'''||512 256 MB

| '''Size max'''||4 GB 512 MB

| '''Width'''||64 16 bit

| '''Speed'''||533 400 MHz

NOR flash is a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) device. This device is connected to the eCSPI ECSPI1 channel 5 and by default it acts can act as boot memory. The following table reports the NOR flash specifications:

| '''CPU connection'''||eCSPI channel 5ECSPI1

| '''Size max'''||64 32 MB

| '''Chip select'''||ECSPI5_SS0ECSPI1_SS0

AXELULite AXEL ULite embeds all the elements required for powering the unit, therefore power sequencing is self-contained and simplified. Nevertheless, power must be provided from carrier board, and therefore users should be aware of the voltage ranges power supply can assume as well as all other parameters. Three supported voltage ranges are available. For more details please refer to [[Power_Power (AXELULiteAXEL ULite)|this page]].

For more details about bootstrap options, please refer to [[Boot_process_and_bootstrap_configuration_Boot process and bootstrap configuration (AXELULiteAXEL ULite)|this page]].

All interface signals AXELULite AXEL ULite provides are routed through SODIMM DDR3 204 pin (named J2). The dedicated carrier board must mount the counterpart [[#Integration_guide_(AXEL_ULite)SODIMM204 mating connector|mating connector ]] and connect the desired peripheral interfaces according to [[Pinout_Pinout (AXELULiteAXEL ULite)|AXELULite AXEL ULite pinout specifications]].
