1. Intro   This document contains instructions to run run the SAI low power audio demo on the i.MX 8M Plus EVK. Here, the  RPSMG to allows audio to be passed from the A53 cluster running Linux to the M7 core. The latter controls the on board WM8960 audio codec,  which is connected to a 3.5 mm audio jack that allow us to play music using headphones. I will show the necessary steps to make the demo work and will add some GStreamer examples to demonstrate the demo's capabilities.   TBD: update this with a nice diagram that depicts the A53 and M7 RPMSG channel. 2. Requirements   Hardware  MX 8M Plus EVK Headphones with 3.5 mm audio jack Type-C power supply for i.MX 8M Plus EVK Micro USB to USB adapter cable Software  A recent prebuilt Linux BSP image from NXP.com ( we tested this on 5.15.35 and 5.15.5 releases) Windows 10 or Ubuntu 20.04 Workstation MCUXpresso SDK for i.MX 8M Plus ( available from:  Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder (nxp.com)) 3. Reference documentation for this example   MCUXpresso SDK   [1] Getting Started with MCUXpresso SDK for EVK-MIMX8MP     Available within the MCUXpresso SDK package:  \{INSTALL PATH}\SDK_X_X_X_EVK-MIMX8MP\docs    [2] SAI low power audio README file Contains instructions for the SAI Low Power Audio Demo.  Available within the MCUXpresso SDK package: \{INSTALL PATH}\SDK_X_X_X_EVK-MIMX8MP\boards\evkmimx8mp\demo_apps\sai_low_power_audio   4. Downloading a pre-built Linux BSP image for the i.MX 8M Plus   I will make use of the prebuilt Linux Image for the i.MX 8M Plus EVK for demonstrating the demo works.  At the moment of writing this time, I used the 5.15.32 release, although there are older releases like 5.10.5 that I tested and proved to work with no issues. This SAI Low Power Audio Demo shall work for other processors on the i.MX 8M family. Although specific instructions ( e.g. load address for M-core binary load) might require some adaptation. For M-core load address, please refer to the specific MCUXpresso SDK documentation for each processor. The prebuilt Linux image (5.15.32) for the i.MX 8M Plus EVK can be downloaded from here: https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L5.15.32_2.0.0_MX8MP&appType=license You can download other releases from here: Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors | NXP Semiconductors . Select a version and a board and select download. 5. Flashing the BSP image   If you are using an Ubuntu 20.04 workstation, I recommend you to flash the image using dd. For this, you can refer to the i.MX Linux User's Guide: Section - 4.3.2 Copying the full SD card image - https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/IMX_LINUX_USERS_GUIDE.pdf sudo dd if=.wic of=/dev/sdx bs=1M && sync NOTE: when using dd, ALWAYS, double check the of device that you are about to writing. Messing up with another location or partition will harm your system   If you are following this document on a Windows machine: You can use the Universal Update Utility (UUU) to flash your image on either the board's eMMC or SD card. Document named UUU.pdf shall serve as your reference guide for further instructions and flashing examples. It is available along with UUU binary here: https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools/releases Two examples are shown below for your convenience:                                     SD card flash                                                 uuu -b sd_all bootloader rootfs.sdcard.bz2                                     eMMC flash                                                 uuu -b emmc_all bootloader rootfs.sdcard.bz2        uuu uuu.auto NOTE: UUU is also compatible with Ubuntu NOTE: there are other engineers who like to use BalenaEtcher for flashing their BSP images. I have tested it and works on both Ubuntu and Windows 10 machines.   6. Preparing the BSP and booting up M7 core  using U-Boot   I am writing this upon the instructions contained on the README file for the low power audio example  [2]. Instructions ready to copy and paste will follow:   Instruct U-Boot to pass to the kernel the rpmsg device tree to enable communication between the A53 cluster and the M7 one: u-boot=>setenv fdtfile imx8mp-evk-rpmsg.dtb u-boot=>saveenv Load the M7 example: u-boot=>setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs ${jh_clk} console=${console} root=${mmcroot} snd_pcm.max_alloc_per_card=134217728' u-boot=>saveenv Now, we need to load the M4 with the demo. Refer to [1] for further information. If running the BSP on an SD card, make sure the example binary is listed on the boot partition as follows: fatls mmc 1:1 You shall see something similar to this:             imx8mp_m7_TCM_sai_low_power_audio.bin Open the serial terminal emulator for the M7. Out of the fourth ports listed when we plug the i.MX 8M Plus serial debug cable to the PC, the M7 is typically the last one listed.   All the serial ports available to the workstation when the i.MX 8M Plus serial cable is connected to it. NOTE: you may require to install addtitional COM drivers if you are running on Windows. I like doing the previous step so I can see the result of the next commands issued in U-boot to load the M7 image. fatload mmc 1:1 0x48000000 imx8mp_m7_TCM_sai_low_power_audio.bin; cp.b 0x48000000 0x7e0000 20000; bootaux 0x7e0000 Here is an screenshot that shows how the U-Boot's response should look: U-Boot response when loading the SAI low power audio example to the Cortex M7 That should have prompted the following message on the M7 terminal: M7-core is up!   Now, let’s move to user space! u-boot=> boot 7. Testing the example using a simple GStreamer pipeline   As soon as the O.S. finishes booting. We can see that M7 terminal prompts the following: M7 is now in STOP mode; waiting for some audio to beat the room! Confirm that the WM8960 is listed as audio card as follows: cat /proc/asound/cards             Listing avaialable audio cards. WM8960 should be present. Make note of the list. The wm8960 is listed a the third sound card. This is where I like to differ a bit from [2] and I suggest a quicker test in case of not having an audio file ready. We just simply use GStreamer to play an audiotest source. Please make sure to plug in your headphones onto the board’s 3.5 mm jack before.   The following GStreamer pipeline is using the WM8960 as an audiosink.  gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! alsasink device=hw:3   NOTE: please be cautious and not put the headphones directly in your head at the first attempt. The sound can be too loud to some people. This is what you should see on the M7 side: Stop the GStreamer pipeline issuing CTRL + C. M7 shall warn you about that: NOTE: you can use the aplay command to play audio as shown on [2]. However, I consider using a testsrc is much quicker and flexible for a quick test.  8. Additional information   Feel free to go ahead and tweak the GStreamer pipeline to change audio test source properties. audiotest src. This command will let you know the available options:            gst-inspect-1.0 audiotestsrc                         NOTE: you can navigate through the displayed list using the “d”key. Press “q’’ to quit. For example:     For example, I am reproducing sound using a different setup based on the list above: gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc freq=4000 volume=0.8 wave=8 ! alsasink device=hw:3 9.  Errata and future updates   TBD:     Add an example on how to define the default audio card and play the audio either using gst-play or building the pipeline using filesrc Comment on the limitations of the M7 core regarding sample rate and audio formats  

In this article, I will explain how to set up the iMX8M Plus to use the 4K Dart BCON Basler Camera module. Requirements: Evaluation Kit for the i.MX 8M Plus Applications Processor. (i.MX 8M Plus Evaluation Kit | NXP Semiconductors) Basler Camera for i.MX 8M Plus (4K dart BCON for MIPI camera module for i.MX 8M Plus | NXP Semiconductors). Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors (Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors | NXP Semiconductors) (For this example we will use BSP version Linux 5.15.71_2.2.0) Serial Console Emulator Basler Camera Specifications and Manuals: Basler Camera Specifications at this link: Embedded Vision Kits daA3840-30mc-IMX8MP-EVK - Embedded Vision Kits (baslerweb.com). Basler Manual to identify and setting up the hardware at this link: daA3840-30mc-IMX8MP-EVK | Basler Product Documentation (baslerweb.com) Basler Camera Module out-of-box with i.MX 8M Plus Applications Processor. (Video: Basler Camera Module out-of-box with i.MX 8M Plus Applications Processor | NXP Semiconductors) Steps After setting up the hardware we will need to turn on the iMX8M Plus and follow these steps: 1. Stop the boot process on Uboot by pressing any key. 2. Use the following command to list interfaces. => mmc list Output example => FSL_SDHC: 1 (SD) => FSL_SDHC: 2 The above command will show you the device number in this example for SD, the device number is 1. 3. Then use fatls <interface> <device[:partition]> [<directory>] fatls mmc 1:1 (Device 1 : Partition 1) With this command, we will be able to list device tree files. => fatls mmc 1:1 4. Select imx8mp-evk-basler.dtb or imx8mp-evk-dual-basler.dtb and use the command editenv fdtfile.  => editenv fdtfile Output example edit: imx8mp-evk-basler.dtb 5. In edit command line put the selected device tree (*.dtb). 6. Use saveenv command to save environment and continue with the boot process. 7. Using the terminal and go to /opt/imx8-isp/bin and execute the script run.sh. $ ./run.sh -c basler_1080p60 -lm 8. Use the command gst-device-monitor-1.0 to list devices. Here you will find the path to the camera device. $ gst-device-monitor-1.0 Output example Device found: name : VIV class : Video/Source caps : video/x-raw, format=YUY2, width=[ 176, 4096, 16 ], height=[ 144, 3072, 8 ], pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1, framerate={ (fraction)30/1, (fraction)29/1, (fraction)28/1, (fraction)27/1, (fraction)26/1, (fraction)25/1, (fraction)24/1, (fraction)23/1, (fraction)22/1, (fraction)21/1, (fraction)20/1, (fraction)19/1, (fraction)18/1, (fraction)17/1, (fraction)16/1, (fraction)15/1, (fraction)14/1, (fraction)13/1, (fraction)12/1, (fraction)11/1, (fraction)10/1, (fraction)9/1, (fraction)8/1, (fraction)7/1, (fraction)6/1, (fraction)5/1, (fraction)4/1, (fraction)3/1, (fraction)2/1, (fraction)1/1 } ... properties: udev-probed = true device.bus_path = platform-vvcam-video.0 sysfs.path = /sys/devices/platform/vvcam-video.0/video4linux/video2 device.subsystem = video4linux device.product.name = VIV device.capabilities = :capture: device.api = v4l2 device.path = /dev/video2 v4l2.device.driver = viv_v4l2_device v4l2.device.card = VIV v4l2.device.bus_info = platform:viv0 v4l2.device.version = 393473 (0x00060101) v4l2.device.capabilities = 2216693761 (0x84201001) v4l2.device.device_caps = 69206017 (0x04200001) gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! ... 9. Finally, use gstreamer to verify proper operation. (With this gstreamer pipeline you will see a new window with the camera output. Then, just rotate the lens to acquire the correct focus) $ gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! "video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=1920,height=1080" ! queue ! imxvideoconvert_g2d ! waylandsink Basic description of Gstreamer Pipeline gst-launch-1.0 -v: The option -v enables the verbose mode to get detailed information of process. v4l2src device=/dev/video2: Select input device in this case the camera is on path /dev/video3. "video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=1920,height=1080": Received format from camera. queue: This command is a buffer between camera recording process and the following image process, this command help us to interface two process and prevent blocking where each process has different speeds, in other words, when a process A is faster than process B. imxvideoconvert_g2d: This proprietary plugin uses hardware acceleration to perform rotation, scaling, and color space conversion on video frames. waylandsink : This command creates its own window and renders the decoded frames processed previously. 10.

     The following steps allow you to toggle a pin on i.MX 8M Mini EVK, you can use the EVK as not gate, trigger a wake up signal, etc. With an script and modifying the device tree you can read an input and get as output the invert input.   On the Host.   Cloning the Linux kernel repository.   Clone the i.MX Linux Kernel repo to the home directory. cd ~ git clone -b lf-5.10.72-2.2.0 https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx cd linux-imx/   Patching the device tree.   Open the imx8mm-evk.dtsi file: vim arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mm-evk.dtsi For the purpose of this example, uart3 has to be "disabled" in order to avoid pins conflict, so change "okay" to "disabled": &uart3 {        pinctrl-names = "default";        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart3>;        assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MM_CLK_UART3>;        assigned-clock-parents = <&clk IMX8MM_SYS_PLL1_80M>;        fsl,uart-has-rtscts;        status = "disabled"; }; Add the following lines in the iomuxc node: &iomuxc {       pinctrl-names = "default";       pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog>; ​       pinctrl_hog: hoggrp {               fsl,pins = <                       MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_SS0_GPIO5_IO9               0x19                       MX8MM_IOMUXC_ECSPI1_MISO_GPIO5_IO8              0x19               >;       };   Build the device tree.   Setup your toolchain, for example: source /opt/fsl-imx-wayland/5.10-hardknott/environment-setup-cortexa53-crypto-poky-linux Generate config file. make imx_v8_defconfig Compile the device tree. make freescale/imx8mm-evk.dtb Copy the .dtb file to the EVK, for example with scp: scp imx8mm-evk.dtb root@<EVK_IP>:/home/root Alternatively, you may copy the .dtb file directly to the FAT32 partition where the Kernel and Device Tree files are located.   On the EVK Board.   Switching the device tree.   To copy the updated device tree to the corresponding partition, first create a directory. mkdir Partition_1 Mount the partition one. mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 Partition_1/ Copy or move the device tree into partition one. cp imx8mm-evk.dtb Partition_1/ Reboot the board. reboot   Create an script.   Use vi: vi toggle.sh Add the following lines: #!/bin/bash ​ echo 136 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio136/direction ​ echo 137 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio137/direction echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio137/value ​ while : do ​ if [[($(cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio136/value) == "0")]]; then         echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio137/value else         echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio137/value        fi ​ done Save the file: :wq Change file permissions: chmod +x toggle.sh   Toggling a pin.   In this example we are using the pin "UART3_CTS" like an input and "UART3_RTS" like an output. To toggle the pin, run the script: ./toggle.sh

This is a quick article focused on how to add the support of SFTP on the i.MX devices using Yocto to add that packages.   Refer to the pdf attached.

This article describes how to integrate NXP WiFi & BT module into i.MX platform, some debug tips, how to test, etc. Although it takes i.MX8MM as example, it is also suitable for all i.MX8 serials platform.
