The Freescale Integrated EPD 
Hardware Controller
The integrated EPD controller is a hardware 
implementation of the E Ink EPD controller 
which is used in most e-readers on the market 
today. The integrated EPD controller removes 
the cost of the external hardware controller 
and its associated memory. By removing this 
cost, customers can bring an i.MX 6SoloLite 
ARM Cortex-A9 solution to market at a lower 
cost than existing solutions. The Freescale 
E Ink EPD controller takes advantage of the 
enhanced pixel processing pipeline (ePxP) 
unit inside the i.MX 6SoloLite processor for 
post rendering activities such as color space 
conversion, combine and rotate.
The EPD controller supports many features 
required for next-generation e-readers, such as:
•  EPD TFT resolutions of 2332 x 1650 at 106
Hz refresh rate or 4096 x 4096 at 20 Hz
•  Up to 5-bit pixel grayscale representation
•  Color EPDs from E Ink
•  Up to 64 concurrent updates with partial
update support
•  Automatic collision handling when used in
conjunction with the i.MX driver
With features such as these, an EPD-based 
device can be developed to allow for faster 
updates, crisper response times and an overall 
better user experience.

Overview
Freescale delivers the next installment in a line of highly flexible, market-focused 
development tools with an evaluation kit (EVK) based on the  i.MX 6SoloLite 
applications processor. The i.MX 6SoloLite is the first system-on-a-chip (SoC) 
incorporating a high-performance 1 GHz ARM
®
Cortex™-A9 CPU and integrated
E Ink
®
 and Sipix
®
 display controllers to drive current and next-generation electronic 
paper display (EPD) panels.
This EVK enables EPD with touch control and  LCD or HDMI display, audio playback, 
as well as the ability to add WLAN, a 3G modem or Bluetooth
®
 technology. 
Additionally, the EVK is designed to facilitate software development with the ultimate 
goal of faster time to market through the support of both Linux
®
 and Android™ 
operating systems.
