MIMXRT1060-EVK backlight control

mspenard603 — Sat, 02 Nov 2019 21:30:18 GMT

Is there demo code to control the LCD backlight on the IMXRT1060-EVK?

Hi,

There is no direct backlight demo. In all lcd demo, GPIO_B1_15 works as gpio. In backlight circuit, UM1661 support PWM dimming control. Please refer to the PWM demo in SDK.

Regards,

Jing

Hi Jing,

Thanks, started to look at the PWM demo. The backlight on GPIO_B1_15 is PWM4_PWMA03. Trying to figure out how to plumb that. I have the following but I'm not seeing anything on my scope.

Hi,

have you change the pin configuration in BOARD_InitPins()?

Regards,

Jing

Hi NXP,

I'm using RT1060 for our product. I am also having issues with GPIO_B1_15 to generate PWM for backlight. I have some questions.

1- What XBARA is used with GPIO_B1_15_FLEXPWM4_PWMA03? 1, 2, 3?

2- Can you write for us a simple code to configure for properly? I'm trying one day but I cannot configure successfully although, the SDK example is working well on board.
