NXP Linux Point of Sale (LPOS) Reader Solution User Guide
User guide for the NXP Linux Point of Sale (LPOS) Reader Solution featuring the i.MX 6UL processor and PN5180 NFC controller, detailing secure hardware and software architecture.
Overview
This document provides a technical overview of the Linux Point of Sale (LPOS) Reader Solution, a reference platform for secure payment systems. It describes the hardware architecture based on the TWR-POS-i.MX6UL module, which utilizes the MCIMX6G3CVM05AB (i.MX 6UL) application processor. Key hardware features include ARM TrustZone, a cryptographic accelerator (CAAM), and tamper detection. The software section outlines the integration of the OP-TEE (Open Platform Trusted Execution Environment), Linux BSP, and EMVCo Level 1 and Level 2 software layers. The document also covers secure boot flows, secure screen generation, and peripheral interfacing for components like the PN5180 contactless reader and LCD displays.
Use Cases
- EMVCo compliant payment terminal development
- Secure contactless card reader design
- Linux-based POS application development
- Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) implementation
