However, I was not able to configure the UART for wake up as the following path does not exist in the rootfs. Would like to know how to fix it?
Please note that the article you are refering to is not applicable for Apalis iMX6. Have a look at this article for information on available tty ports on Apalis iMX6. To enable wakeup via UART port:
# echo enabled > /sys/class/tty/ttymxc0/power/wakeup
Also, I was not able to find any info on how to configure the ethernet to detect a wake-on-lan (magic packet) signal. I am using the wakeonlan utility from Ubuntu host to send the magic packet to the eval board.
By default wake-on-lan is not enabled, one will need to enable it in device tree. Have a look at the device tree bindings documentation here. You can try enabling wake-on-lan support, changes required to enable wake-on-lan:

Also by default in userspace the wake-on-lan is disabled, to enable the wake-on-lan run:
# ethtool -s eth0 wol g
To enable the eth0 as wakeup source:
# echo enabled > /sys/class/net/eth0/power/wakeup
Tested using ‘etherwake’ tool.
