The i.MX 8QuadXPlus Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) is a NXP development platform based on Cortex A-35 + Cortex-M4 cores. Built with high-level integration to support graphics, video, image processing, audio, and voice functions, the i.MX 8X processor family is ideal for safety-certifiable and efficient performance requirements. This tutorial shows how to enable the Cortex-M4 using the MCUXpresso SDK package and loading the binary from the network. NOTE: It is also possible to load the Cortex-M4 image from the SCFW using the imx-mkimage utility. Please see next blog posts for this tutorial. Setting up the machine NOTE: This shows the procedure for a Linux environment. For the Windows OS, please see the Getting Started documentation on the SDK package. Install cmake on the host machine: $ sudo apt-get install cmake Download the armgcc toolchain from here :https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/5.0/5-2016-q2-update/+download/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2-20160622-linux.tar.bz2  and export the location as ARMGCC_DIR: $ export ARMGCC_DIR=<your_path_to_arm_gcc>/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2/ NOTE: The ARMGCC_DIR variable needs to be exported on the terminal used for compilation. To setup the TFTP server on the host machine, follow the first two sections on this blog post https://imxdev.gitlab.io/tutorial/How_to_boot_Kernel_and_File_System_from_the_network/ (Configuring your Host PC for TFTP and Configuring your Host PC for NFS). Downloading the SDKPermalink Download the MCUXpresso SDK following these steps: Click on “Select Development Board”; Select MEK-MIMX8QX under “Select a Device, Board, or Kit” and click on “Build MCUXpresso SDK” on the right; Select “Host OS” as Linux and “Toolchain/IDE” as GCC ARM Embedded; Add “FreeRTOS” and all the wanted Middleware and hit “Request Build”; Wait for the SDK to build and download the package. Building the image All demos and code examples available on the SDK package are located in the directory <<SDK_dir>>/boards/mekmimx8qx/. This tutorial shows how to build and flash the hello_world demo but similar procedures can be applied for any example (demo, driver, multicore, etc) on the SDK. To build the demo, enter the armgcc folder under the demo directory and make sure that the ARMGCC_DIR variable is set correctly. $ cd ~/SDK_2.3.0_MEK-MIMX8QX/boards/mekmimx8qx/demo_apps/hello_world/armgcc $ export ARMGCC_DIR=<your_path_to_arm_gcc>/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2/ Run the build_release.sh script to build the code. $ ./build_release.sh NOTE: If needed, give the script execution permission by running chmod +x build_release.sh. This generates the M4 binary (hello_world.bin) under the release folder. Copy this image to the /tftpboot/ directory on the host PC. NOTE: This procedure shows how to build the M4 image that runs on TCM. To run the image from DDR, use the build_ddr_release.sh script to build the binary under the ddr_release folder. Flashing the image Open two serial consoles, one for /dev/ttyUSB0 for Cortex-A35 to boot Linux, and one for /dev/ttyUSB1 for Cortex-M4 to boot the SDK image. On the A35 console, with a SD Card with U-Boot, stop the booting process and enter the following commands to load the M4 binary to TCM: => dhcp => setenv serverip <ip_from_host_pc> => tftp 0x88000000 hello_world.bin => dcache flush => bootaux 0x88000000 Then the M4 core will load the image to the /dev/ttyUSB1 console.

The i.MX 6UltraLite EVK kernel release includes the parallel camera OV5640 support by default. However, depending on the base board revision, this camera might require the SCH700-27820 adapter below: Camera Adapter According to the following image, the FX12B-40P-0.4SV connector layout was changed in the RevC, giving the possibility to use the OV5640 directly:   Rev B in the left and Rev C in the right, which does not need the adapter So, if you are using a base board older than Rev C, plug in the camera with the adapter and connect the other end of the adapter to the board.   In order to use the parallel OV5640 camera, it’s necessary to set up the environment variable below on U-Boot, independent of the base board revision: => setenv fdt_file ‘imx6ul-14x14-evk-csi.dtb’ => saveenv Follow the GStreamer pipeline example to test the camera connection: $ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! autovideosink   This test was done using the kernel BSP release 5.10.35v.

This section describes some advanced topics and tips to get high experiences in camera use cases in the i.MX 8 boards The i.MX 8QM MEK includes the use of the dual MIPI-CSI interfaces and two MX8XMIPI4CAM2 in combination with eight MCIMXCAMERA1MP daughter cards connected to them. For this, change the DTB file to fsl-imx8qm-mek-8cam.dtb and boot the board. Figure 1. Show i.MX 8QM MEK 8 cameras example.   Multiple cameras output In order to use more than one camera at the same time displayed in the same monitor output, boot the board and enter with the following command line to get the cameras ids: $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices It will result in something similar to the image below: Figure 2. v4l2-ctl results According to the image, mxc-isi found and set four cameras to /dev/video0, video1, video2, and video3. So we can build the GStreamer pipeline below changing it as required: $ gst-launch-1.0 -v imxcompositor_g2d name=comp \ sink_0::xpos=0 sink_0::ypos=0 sink_0::width=640 sink_0::height=480 \ sink_1::xpos=0 sink_1::ypos=480 sink_1::width=640 sink_1::height=480 \ sink_2::xpos=640 sink_2::ypos=0 sink_2::width=640 sink_2::height=480 \ sink_3::xpos=640 sink_3::ypos=480 sink_3::width=640 sink_3::height=480 \ ! video/x-raw,format=RGB16 ! waylandsink \ v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! comp.sink_0 \ v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! comp.sink_1 \ v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! comp.sink_2 \ v4l2src device=/dev/video3 ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! comp.sink_3   This pipeline enables the user to set up more than one camera to the same screen using the imxcompositor_g2d for it. This is the unique solution available to create an interface over Weston/Wayland interface, i.e., in i.MX 8 devices we need to use GPU to create interfaces GUI. This pipeline results in the image below: Figure 3. GStreamer 4 cameras output It is just an example and you are encouraged to change it for other camera use cases, such as the eight cameras supported by the i.MX 8QM MEK.
