=Interfaces and Functions=
==DC Power==
SB-iMX8Plus main power is provided with 12V DC power supply included in the evaluation kit. Adapters for European AC and US AC outlets are included. Connect the power supply to connector '''J2'''. 

==Serial Console==
To begin using serial console connect your host PC to the micro-USB connector '''P13''' using the USB cable from the evaluation kit. 

==Display==
===HDMI===
SB-iMX8Plus supports HDMI output on connector '''P14'''. Connect to standard monitor using an HDMI cable. 

===MIPI-DSI===
SB-iMX8Plus supports direct connection with the Startec KD050HDFIA 5" MIPI-DSI LCD panel. 
Connect the display data cable to connector '''P22'''. 
Connect the display touch-panel cable to connector '''P45''' 

===LVDS===
SB-iMX8Plus supports direct connection with the Startec KD070HDTLA020 7" LVDS LCD panel. 
Connect the display data cable to connector '''P11'''. 
Connect the display touch-panel cable to connector '''P5''' 

==USB==
SB-iMX8Plus features two USB3.0 ports that are derived from the i.MX8M Plus USB sub-system: 
* Connector '''J5''' – USB type-C connector
* Connector '''J3''' – USB3.0 host, type-A connector

==SD card==
SB-iMX8Plus supports SD card storage through micro-SD socket '''P23'''.

==Ethernet==
SB-iMX8Plus provides two Ethernet ports via '''RJ45''' connectors: 
*'''P6''' – primary Ethernet port 
*'''P26''' – secondary Ethernet port 

==Wireless==
===WiFi/Bluetooth===
For WiFi or Bluetooth operation connect the WiFI/BT antennas (included in the evaluation kit) to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus on-board connectors '''ANT1''' and '''ANT2'''. 

===Cellular===
Cellular modems in mini-PCIe form-factor can be plugged into mini-PCIe socket '''P9'''. For modem operation: 
*Insert an active SIM card to socket '''P20''' 
*Insert the cellular modem into socket '''P9''' 

==PCI-Express==
Mini-PCIe modules can be installed into the SB-iMX8Plus mini-PCIe socket '''P9'''. Full / half size mini-PCIe modules are supported. 
NOTE: USB port on mini-PCIe socket is multiplexed with the USB port on connector '''J3'''. Jumper '''E14''' must be installed for correct operation of mini-PCIe.

==CAN bus==
Two independent CAN bus interfaces are available via terminal block '''P4'''. 
To start using CAN bus the following jumpers should be installed: 
Please refer to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus reference guide and SB-iMX8Plus schematics for details. 

==Camera==
SB-iMX8Plus is compatible with the e-CAM and Raspberry Pi camera modules. 
Each of the two independent MIPI-CSI channels is routed to 30-pin and 22-pin connectors through analog multiplexers. Connector multiplexing selection is done with jumpers: 
* MIPI-CSI1 - jumper '''E18''' selects between 22-pin connector '''P49''' and 30-pin connector '''P48'''
* MIPI-CSI2 - jumper '''E23''' selects between 22-pin connector '''P47''' and 30-pin connector '''P48'''

==Multi-functional signals access==
===UART===
UART interface is available via header '''P27'''. 
Please refer to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus reference guide and SB-iMX8Plus schematics for details. 

===SPI===
SPI interface is available via header '''P25'''. 
Please refer to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus reference guide and SB-iMX8Plus schematics for details. 

===I2C===
I2C interface is available via header '''P25'''. 
Please refer to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus reference guide and SB-iMX8Plus schematics for details. 

===GPIO===
GPIO signals is available via headers '''P25''' and '''P27'''. 
Please refer to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus reference guide and SB-iMX8Plus schematics for details. 

==System==
===Reset===
Pressing the reset button '''SW6''' triggers system hardware reset. 

===Boot Sequence Selection===
Pressing and holding the alt-boot button '''SW7''' during power-up or hardware reset forces CL-SOM-iMX8Plus to boot firmware from an SD card in socket '''P23'''. 

===Power ON / OFF===
Long press on the Power On button '''SW5''' shuts down the device. 

===RTC===
RTC is implemented on CL-SOM-iMX8Plus and receives power from coin-cell battery '''BH1'''. 
Jumper '''E6''' must be shorted for correct RTC operation. 

===JTAG===
JTAG interface is available via header '''P7'''. 
Please refer to CL-SOM-iMX8Plus reference guide and SB-iMX8Plus schematics for details. 

=Jumpers Summary=
