As automotive manufacturers are modernizing their vehicle networks, they are increasingly integrating related functions into a single ECU. Choosing a processor for these new ECUs is a critical task, which NXP makes easier with the new S32Z/E Real-Time Processor families

A beginner-level model example that can be implemented using NXP's Model-Based Design Toolbox. Learn how to design, build and deploy an embedded program that can run on any MCU.

The disruptive technologies of multi-gigabit Automotive Ethernet, IEEE time-sensitive networking (TSN) protocols and automotive cloud-native DevOps are coming together to enable the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV). NXP is at the leading edge of these technology trends and recently announced the S32Z and S32E real-time processors families. 

This article lays out some of the progress on the disruptive technology front and explains how NXP plays a critical role with the launch of the S32 real-time processors by enabling the integration of vehicle-wide, real-time functions and supporting new vehicle architectures involving central compute, domain control and the zonal edge.  

This launch introduces our Smart Card Trust Provisioning Solution, bringing customers a major new capability in protecting their Software Intellectual Property (IP) and guarding against over-production and cloning.

A singular article is simply not enough to do this component justice, so I wanted to follow up and highlight some other features that make the LPC5536 unique.

The latest release of NXP's free UI design tool for LVGL is out now - GUI Guider 1.3.1 features major improvements in usability and optimization. 

Hooking up to the external world usually means that our MCUs must learn to  “speak” analog.   A high-performance analog system was added to the LPC553x family to enable more integrated, lower external component count designs.

NXP's free UI design tool for the open source LVGL graphics library continues to add great new features and capabilities. GUI Guider 1.3.0 was released on January 24th 2022 and includes exciting new widgets, more host platform support, Keil project output and Micropython.

We are pleased to announce that Config Tools for i.MX Application Processors v11 are now available.

DDR tool supports i.MX8M family and LX2160A. DDR tool is part of Config tools for i.MX offering configuration, inspection, optimization, vTSA, stressing and code generation. It can be downloaded from

After setting my new 16” M1Max Macbook Pro, I found some surprising results for the kernel compile time. The Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my M1 MBP compiled the i.MX Linux kernel faster than an Intel i9 3650 Dell Precision workstation running native Ubuntu. Since the comparison is a bit like apple to oranges, I tried to minimize the variables, and, I also compared an older i7 Dell Precision M4700 and a Xeon.

The SuperMonkey is here!  Come see the bring-up of an i.MX RT685 based design that uses QSPI flash connected to FlexSPI Port A.

NXP has now introduced MCU-Link Pro - the second incarnation of the MCU-Link debug probe architecture, adding several powerful capabilities and features to build on the entry level MCU-Link standalone model. This includes power/energy measurement, USB bridging and a J-Link firmware option.

NXP has released a new library, replacing LPCUSBSIO, to enable communication via USB bridges available on evaluation boards with LPC-Link2 and upcoming MCU-Link probes. User documentation and a Python wrapper are also available.

An interactive tutorial on how to create your own MATLAB Simulink temperature sensor application by applying the model-based design approach, how to configure and use the i.MXRT1060 EVK using NXP MCUXpresso, a thermistor module and the IMXRT Toolbox.

We are pleased to announce that MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool v3.1 is now available.

Join this hackathon with Resideo and see what innovation awaits!

NXP's innovative MCUs, based on Arm® Cortex®-M cores and part of the EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform, continue to transform the industry landscape with increasing performance and integration, further complemented by outstanding enablement including MCUXpresso software and tools and an extensive ecosystem of partners. Get started now!

We are pleased to announce that Config Tools for i.MX Application Processors v10 are now available.

在一生的大部分时间里，我热衷于编程和嵌入式微控制器。在我的职业生涯中，我积累了许多不同体系结构的经验，包括一些专门用于特定应用程序的体系结构。即使在当前专用设备市场多样化的情况下，我仍然坚持寻找最有趣的通用微控制器市场。我认为这源于我对计算机最初的热爱。这可以追溯到七年级，当我们使用Apple IIe计算机学习“计算机素养”时。在课程中，学生们学习了如何使用BASIC语言编写程序。项目涵盖了从简单图形、打印到游戏的所有内容。与此同时，我了解到，我那些玩Nintendo™的其他7年级同学的热情与计算机素养的活动有关。通过一本流行的游戏杂志，我发现为任天堂供电的芯片是为学校计算机供电的设备，即古老的“ 6502”。那是顿悟的时刻。如果CPU既可以是游戏系统又可以是文字处理器，那么它真的可以*做我想做的任何事情*。不久之后，我便开始挖掘6502的复杂细节来为我的作品提供动力。6502是我的第一个通用CPU。

In my previous two articles,  we examined the core components to an RT600 hardware design using the code name “Super-Monkey”.   The objective of the Super-Monkey project to produce minimal configuration design example using RT685 audio crossover MCU that would support my real-time audio processing projects.   There is quite a bit IO available on the RT685, but I chose to constrain my design to the most common functions for real-time audio.   My applications generally use professional, “flagship quality” audio codecs for musical instrument signal processing.   Using this as a guide, the process of coming up with a minimal IO complement was simplified.  It is time to now time reveal the Super-Monkey design!

This article will continue detailing a minimal configuration design that uses an i.MX RT685 crossover MCU.    In the first article of this hardware design series, I introduced the power supply architecture of the RT600 series and illustrated some of the package/PCB layout features of the VFBGA176 package.       I also introduced some of the specs I am working towards for the “Super-Monkey” module and will power some of my future real-time audio processing projects.

As a real-world example, I this article is part one of several articles that will step through a basic RT600 hardware design and bring-up.   I find this to be a very useful exercise as high-end MCU’s can be overwhelming, especially to those coming from a traditional MCU background.   The goal here is to develop a simple “minimal configuration” example and build it for a demonstration.   

The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) was developed as a complementally bus standard to the Controller Area Network (CAN bus) to address the need for a cost-efficient network for lower performance devices within the vehicle.  While the CAN network was already in place within vehicles, its high bandwidth and advanced error detection capabilities were overkill (and thus, cost-prohibitive) for lower performance applications such as seat and window controllers.

In Part 1 of our introduction to the RT600 crossover MCU,  we examined the RT600 CPU/DSP core complex and its unique system memory architecture.   In part 2, we will put a spotlight on some other unique peripheral features that make the RT600 standout as a high-performance audio crossover MCU.
