RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... I have a custom board, that is very close to the EVKB board, except no USB or MIPI. I cannot seem to access serial downloader mode to use the Secure Provisioning Tool via UART, nor obtain any access via JTAG/SWD for programming. The chip seems to be working, on that there is an ON/OFF button that when held for 5 seconds, or whatever the length is, powers the chip off, and then pressing the button again powers it on. I've double-triple checked everything, and it nearly matches the EVKB board, however one things I noticed that was not done was to connect VDD_MIPI_* or VDD_USB_* to anything, again, as the board doesn't use MIPI or USB. Could not connecting those power pins be causing the problems I'm having with accessing UART or JTAG/SWD? Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... The image I posted is from that red circled area, and I am using the exact components, values as detailed in the EVKB there. Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Hi @application_ninja ,
In MIMXRT1170-EVKB board , RC delay time is 30000*0.00000022=0.0066s =6.6ms.
Please check your board, if your board use the same RC delay circuit, Please use an oscilloscope to measure the signal circled in red in the image.
Best Regards Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... As an FYI, this is what my delay circuit looks like... Blue being DCDC_IN and yellow being DCDC_PSWITCH. Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Not sure what you mean by: "VDD_SNVS_DIG is internal LDO output.", so is 0v output correct for this, or not? My custom board is nearly identical to the EVKB except for not using MIPI/USB/AUDIO. I've gone over things many times, just cannot figure out why I cannot get it into serial downloader mode nor use JTAG/SWD to program it. Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Hi @application_ninja ,
VDD_SNVS_DIG is internal LDO output.
1: I suggest you can compare your customed board with MIMXRT1170-EVKB board, check the difference.
2: If you have MIMXRT1170-EVKB board, did you try modify the MIMXRT1170-EVKB board same as your customed board?
Best Regards Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Apparently VDD_SNVS_DIG is low, and controlled by software, so my design is correct? https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/IMXRT1170BCEC.pdf "The power rail VDD_SNVS_DIG is controlled by software." Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... OK, so it's looking like I'm not getting anything on VDD_SNVS_DIG, not sure why, but any thoughts as to what could cause this off hand? Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... That was going to be my next steps, however quite difficult to test / probe, thus my first questions to see if not connecting those VDD_MIPI_* and VDD_USB_* could be the cause, since everything else seems to power up correctly and I get correct voltages everywhere. Thank you. Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Hi @application_ninja ,
Could you use an oscilloscope to check if the power-up sequence is normal, especially the RC delay circuit?
Best Regards
MayLiu Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Yes, thank you, I have verified all that, I have a positive voltage on BOOT_CFG_0, and have positive voltage on the RXD LPUART1 pin coming from the chip, so everything appears as though it should be working, but I get nothing from the secure provisioning tool, nor from the sdphost tool. All my power rails look good, proper voltages, my ONOFF button works, reset button, just really stumped as to why I cannot program / read the chip. Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Hi @application_ninja ,
Thanks for your updated information.
First, I suggest you follow the HDUG recommended design for your customed hardware development board.
Second, please check the Boot Mode pins settings of your custom development board. If you want use the Secure Provisioning Tool via UART, you need set as serial downloader mode.
Third, Only LPUART1 support serial downloader mode.
Wish it helps you.

Yes, I am aware of that document, but that does not answer my question, and as you have confirmed what the document states, those are "recommendations", they are not listed as "requirements" for proper board operation. So going by the way you have stated and the documentation reads, as "recommended" they do not have to be performed for proper board / chip operation. Which leads back to my question, could not doing these "recommendations" cause the problems I am seeing? Re: RT1176 custom board no access to LPUART1 or JTAG/SWD ... Hi @application_ninja ,
Thank you so much for your interest in our products and for using our community.
In MIMXRT1170HDUG, it describe that Unused pins recommendation
https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=MIMXRT1170HDUG
Please follow the Recommended connections for unused analog interfaces.
Wish it helps you. If you still have question about it, please kindly let me know.
Best Regards MayLiu
