NXP IMXRT1050-EVKB
Overview
The i.MX RT1050 EVK is a 4-layer through-hole USB-powered PCB. At its heart lies the i.MX RT1050 crossover MCU, featuring NXP's advanced implementation of the Arm Cortex-M7 core. This core operates at speeds up to 600 MHz to provide high CPU performance and great real-time response.
Schematics
CMSIS-Drivers
This board support pack contains a CMSIS-Driver for the VIO interface. This is a virtual I/O abstraction for peripherals that are typically used in example projects. The Blinky example uses this interface to create a blinking light with the USER LED mounted on the board that can be controlled by the USER BUTTON (SW8).
| Virtual Resource | Variable | Physical Resource on IMXRT1050-EVKB |
|---|---|---|
| vioBUTTON0 | vioSignalIn.0 | WAKEUP SW8(USER_BUTTON) |
| vioLED0 | vioSignalOut.0 | GPIO_AD_B0_09 (USER_LED) |
| vioMotionAccelero | vioValueXYZ[1] | 3-Axis Accelerometer (FXOS8700CQ) |
| vioMotionMagneto | vioValueXYZ[2] | 3-Axis Magnetometer (FXOS8700CQ) |
Refer to the schematics for board connection information.
WiFi Shields
For the correct operation of WiFi shields using the Arduino R3 header, make sure that the following jumpers are correctly fitted: - J26 closed - J27: 1-2 closed
Special considerations
For correct operation, the SparkFun ESP8266 WiFi Shield requires a jumper cable to connect the RESET pin on the Arduino connector with the RST pin in the area marked as ESP8266 GPIO:
For stable operation, make sure that you are using an external DC 5V power supply (connected to J2). Also, fit jumper J1 to 1-2 closed and set the switch SW1 to position 2-3.
CMSIS-DAP Firmware
Make sure that you have updated your CMSIS-DAP firmware to the latest version. This makes the board compatible with Keil Studio Cloud that enables browser-based project creation and debugging. The following instructions apply if your board is equipped with at U23 a Kinetis K20DX device (marked as M20AGV).
Using HyperFlash
If your board is configured for HyperFlash (SW7 is set to OFF/ON/ON/OFF), use the following CMSIS-DAP firmware: DAPLink 0254
Using QSPI Flash
If your board is configured for QSPI Flash (SW7 is not set to OFF/ON/ON/OFF), use the following CMSIS-DAP firmware: DAPLink 0254
Flashing instructions for Windows users
- While holding down the boards reset button, connect the boards USB debug port to the computer. It should enumerate and mount as MAINTENANCE.
- Drag-and-drop the firmware file onto the mounted drive.
- Wait for the file copy operation to complete.
- Power cycle the board. It will now enumerate and mount as DAPLINK or the name of the board.
Flashing instructions for Linux users
- While holding down the boards reset button, connect the boards USB debug port to the computer. It should enumerate as MAINTENANCE.
- In a terminal execute
cp <path to firmware file> <MAINTENANCE> && sync
Note: make sure to change MAINTENANCE to the name of the mount point of the drive on your system. - Power cycle the board. It will now enumerate and mount as DAPLINK or the name of the board.
Flashing instructions for MAC users
- While holding down the boards reset button, connect the boards USB debug port to the computer. It should enumerate as MAINTENANCE.
- In a terminal execute
sudo mount -u -w -o sync /Volumes/MAINTENANCE ; cp -X <path to firmware file> /Volumes/MAINTENANCE/
Note: If your drive does not mount as MAINTENANCE make sure to change this to match the name of the mounted disk attached to your system. - Wait for the file copy operation to complete.
- Power cycle the board. It will now enumerate and mount as DAPLINK or the name of the board.
