[Evaluation Board] dual core among i.MX RT Crossover MCUs

[Robotics-Gun]

Hi NXP,

I am selecting proper MCU amoing dual core i.MX RT Crossover MCUs.

RT1160, RT1170, RT1180 would be the final candidate.

My question is does NXP have eval-board for all sort of MCUs for these line up?

Plus, for dual core related application development, I am a bit newbie.

So is there any sdk document that guides for dual core like 

1. how do they share SRAM

2. how to share data, trigger interrupt to each other

Thank you

Hi @Robotics-Gun,

Yes, all of the aforementioned MCUs have their respective EVK board available for purchase and testing:

MIMXRT1160-EVK | NXP Semiconductors

MIMXRT1170-EVK | NXP Semiconductors

i.MX RT1180 Evaluation Kit | NXP Semiconductors

We don't have an application note that describes the general usage and communication between cores, but we do have several multi-core examples in our SDK for usage and testing of the multi-core capabilities of our i.MX RT devices. Simply build and download the SDK for your desired EVK here, import the SDK to MCUXpresso and you will be able to see these example projects:

BR,
Edwin.
