All engineers – and most anyone – love to make things spin, right? That explains the revenue made on those fidget spinners. The inventor is a genius! OK ok … now back to MCUs … the i.MX RT MCU motor control demos are some of the most highly viewed demos. So what makes the i.MX RT1010 device ideal for motor control applications? Is it the FlexPWM? The ADC? Or just the raw performance of this 500 MHz MCU? The answer – all of the above.  The i.MX RT1010 MCU is an ideal solution for a single motor and here’s why

Hello, recently I have done Periph Blinky e.g. from LPCOpen library on MCUxpresso. I am using LPC1769 chip and I have toggled GPIO pin. In my case I have used buzzer pin i.e. Port 3 & Pin 25. Instead of using Timer delay I created a delay function i.e. void delay_ms(unsigned int ms). Here I am attaching the systick.c file. Hope it helps!!  

On what could be perceived as a low-cost MCU, it is nice to see that security was not compromised on the i.MX RT1010 device. In fact, the i.MX RT1010 MCU has the same security block that exists on many of the other i.MX RT products.

For today's blog, I am going to keep it short and direct it to the PCB layout engineers out there.  The i.MX RT1010 MCU designers want you to know that the utmost care was taken when designing the i.MX RT1010 device. Even if your company typically prioritizes product requirements over package requirements, NXP has you covered. During our package development, we do a number of pin-out iterations and a fanout exercise to make sure that the i.MX RT LQFP packages are easily laid out for 2-layer through-hole PCBs. 

Continuing with my countdown of top reasons to use i.MX RT1010 crossover MCU, today I want to talk about performance.  The performance of the i.MX RT series really pushes this portfolio to a classification of its own – crossover MCUs. Engineers can now enjoy the level of performance historically seen in the processor space, now in the MCU world – providing tremendous familiarity and usability for engineers. But just ask the rabbit from the Tortoise and the Hare fable, sometimes it is not enough just to be fast. You have to be smart too. Within the i.MX RT1010 family, several smart features are coupled together with the 500 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M7 core.

Hello everyone, I am working on MCUxpresso and using LPC1769 controller. I am done with Led blinking in MCUxpresso. I have used flash magic to flash the hex file in controller using usb to ttl. But I faced a hex file issue while doing this project. So I thought I should share this with everyone who are facing the same issue. After compiling only .axf was getting created. For creating .hex file ,you need to do following settings

Continuing with my 10-day countdown to top reasons to consider the i.MX RT1010, today we look at reason #9 -the unlimited memory capabilities of the i.MX RT1010.

Looking at the i.MX RT1010 crossover MCU, one might notice that there is no on-chip Flash memory. Where do you boot from? Where do you store your code? And is it safe? What about latency issues? The i.MX RT1010 MCU was designed to ensure maximum memory flexibility, while not sacrificing performance or security.
