In every i.MX BSP you will find a pre-compiled binary to flash on your board, but if you need to recompile, this tutorial will be useful. Redboot source code and pre-built images for many platforms are available on Linux Board Support Package (BSP). As an example, let's compile redboot version 2009_10 that comes with Freescale Linux BSP. For detailed information about Redboot, check <redboot_folder>/doc Locate the file ecostools.tar.gz and decompress it on /opt directory. (Create this folder if it is not there) $ cd /opt $ sudo tar zxvf <redboot_folder>/tools/ecos_config_tools.tar.gz $ sudo tar zxvf <redboot_folder>/tools/arm-2008q1.tar.gz This creates /opt/ecostools directory with two subdirectories: arm-2008q1 -- GNU tools for compiling, linking, etc. tools -- mainly to have ecosconfig utility program Add /opt/arm-2008q1/bin and /opt/tools/bin to your environment PATH variable. $ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/arm-2008q1/bin:/opt/tools/bin Generating RedBoot Image Decompress the ecos-trunk-080727.tar.bz2 base line source code into <redboot_folder>/src. There should be a 'packages' directory under <redboot_folder>/src/ecos if it is done correctly. $ tar xjvf ecos-trunk-080727.tar.bz2 Go to ecos subdirectory and apply the patches; $ cd ecos $ bunzip2 -c patch-redboot-200910-base.bz2 | patch -p1 The above command assumes the patch file is under the same directory as the <redboot_folder>/src/ecos. Specify the path name for the patch file if necessary. Apply the patch for specific platform. In this case, the used patch is: patch-redboot-200834-mx3.bz2 $ patch-redboot-200910-mx3.bz2 | patch -p1 Define the ECOS_REPOSITORY. On <redboot_folder>, put the entire (absolute) path to redboot folder. I.e. ~/<redboot_folder>/src/ecos/packages $ export ECOS_REPOSITORY=<redboot_folder>/src/ecos/packages To build redboot (for i.MX31 in this example), create a new folder in order to have a clean build: $ mkdir new_redboot $ cd new_redboot $ ecosconfig new mx31_3stack redboot $ ecosconfig import $ECOS_REPOSITORY/hal/arm/mx31/3stack/current/misc/redboot_ROMRAM.ecm $ ecosconfig tree $ make This creates the Redboot image (redboot.bin) under install/bin directory. This image can run from either SDRAM or flash. Note: You can change the board MACH-TYPE at this file: src/ecos/packages/hal/arm/mx27/ads/current/cdl/hal_arm_board.cdl

Important: If you have any questions or would like to report any issues with the DDR tools or supporting documents please create a support ticket in the i.MX community. Please note that any private messages or direct emails are not monitored and will not receive a response. This is a detailed programming aid for the registers associated with MMDC initialization. The last sheet formats the register settings for use with ARM RealView ICE. It can also be used with the windows executable for the DDR Stress Test. This programming aid was used for internal NXP validation boards.

NFS Network File System (NFS) is a network file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network as easily as if the network devices were attached to its local disks. The use of NFS makes the development work of user space applications easy and fast since all target root file system is located into host (PC) where the applications can be developed and crosscompiled to target system. The target system will use this file system located on host as if it is located on target. NFS service will be used to transfer the root file system from host to target. NFS resources are listed below: All Boards Deploy NFS All Boards NFS on Fedora NFS on Fedora All Boards NFS on Slackware NFS on Slackware All Boards NFS on Ubuntu NFS on Ubuntu

NETC presents itself as a multi-function PCIe Root Complex Integrated Endpoint (RCiEP) for easy software discovery of peripheral functions. As such, it contains multiple PCIe functions. PCIe RCiEP allows for easy software integration into OSes, which support PCIe but can be easily integrated as a simple platform device for RTOSes or bare metal implementations which do not support it. Configuration and control of ENETC(s) is implemented using a combination of registers and a command message interface implemented using descriptor rings in memory. Key goal of the DPDK is to provide a simple, complete framework for fast packet processing in data plane applications. Using the APIs provided as part of the framework, applications can leverage the capabilities of underlying network infrastructure. DPDK been prominent software in user space for networking applications pushes for eNetc driver to be written in user space. This document introduces overview of the NXP ENETC and how its driver is implemented and integrated into the DPDK. DPDK eNetc Driver support features Multi-queue supported, Packet type parsing, promisc, MAC exact filter table filtering, VLAN exact filter table filtering, Link status interrupt, Rx checksum offload, basic stats.

This article describes how to enable the GPIO support in SPL for i.MX 93 and how to use the associated library. Available GPIO banks Bank Registers' Base Address GPIO1 0x47400000 GPIO2 0x43810000 GPIO3 0x43820000 GPIO4 0x43830000 Software Tests performed using the LF6.12.20-2.0.0 BSP, but should work similarly in other versions. Enable the GPIO support in SPL Enable the CONFIG_SPL_GPIO through menuconfig. Configure the GPIO pin Make sure the chosen GPIO pin is not used by any other peripheral, by checking U-Boot's device tree (example: imx93-11x11-evk.dts and its included files). If used, disable the conflicting peripheral in the device tree. To identify the exact macro associated to the GPIO functionality, please check the arch/arm/dts/imx93-pinfunc.h file. Example 1: Use an available GPIO pin (e.g. GPIO2_IO05) This pin is not used by other peripheral, so there is nothing to disable. To use the pin with the GPIO functionality, the following pin muxing must be added in the iomux node of the imx93-11x11-evk.dts file (located in dts/upstream/src/arm64/freescale/😞 😞 pinctrl_hog: hoggrp { fsl,pins = < MX93_PAD_GPIO_IO05__GPIO2_IO05 0x51e >; }; Note: 0x51e represents the value you want in the PAD register (SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_GPIO_IO05). You may configure it as you want. Example 2: Use the XSPI1_TXC pin as GPIO (GPIO1_IO12) In our BSP, by default, this pin is used by the SAI1 peripheral. To use this pin as GPIO, SAI1 must be disabled in device tree. &sai1 { status = "disabled"; }; To use the XSPI1_TXC pin with the GPIO functionality, the following pin muxing must be added in the iomux node of the imx93-11x11-evk.dts file (located in dts/upstream/src/arm64/freescale/😞😞 pinctrl_hog: hoggrp { fsl,pins = < MX93_PAD_SAI1_TXC__GPIO1_IO12 0x51e >; }; Include the correct header files In the file you want to use the GPIO, include the following headers: #include <asm/arch-mx7ulp/gpio.h> #include <asm-generic/gpio.h> Define the GPIO To define the GPIO's handle, use the IMX_GPIO_NR(bank, index) macro. index = The pin number within the bank. bank = The GPIO bank number, mapped as follows (due to the way they are placed in memory): GPIO Bank bank value for IMX_GPIO_NR GPIO1 4 GPIO2 1 GPIO3 2 GPIO4 3 Example 1: Compute the handle for GPIO2_IO05 #define TIMED_GPIO IMX_GPIO_NR(1, 5) Example 2: Compute the handle for XSPI1_TXC (GPIO1_IO12) #define TIMED_GPIO IMX_GPIO_NR(4, 12) Read the GPIO pin gpio_request(TIMED_GPIO, "timed_gpio"); gpio_direction_input(TIMED_GPIO); int val = gpio_get_value(TIMED_GPIO); printf("GPIO value is %d\n", val); Write the GPIO pin gpio_request(TIMED_GPIO, "timed_gpio"); // set the pin as output and make it high gpio_direction_output(TIMED_GPIO, 1); The driver used is drivers/gpio/gpio-uclass.c.

Introduction LVGL is a graphics library to run on devices using a limited amount of resources. Previously, we have ran an LVGL demo from the LVGL repository, this contains a couple more demos which all of them are pieces of code included and lends us the opportunity to evaluate the library in a quick and easy way. GUI projects are developed by customers through a lot more options than bare code, there are GUI tools that translate a graphic asset into LVGL code, in this demonstration we will use a tool that's widely used in MCU GUI development and translate the GUI created into LVGL code; SquareLine. NOTE: refer to the appendix for precedent LVGL documents on i.MX series processors. HW set-up i.MX 93 EVK boot over eMMC/uSD to Linux Factory or Ubuntu. Connect power and debug receptables. Connect MX8_DSI_OLED1 to J701 (MIPI DSI) through MiniSAS cable. SquareLine set-up Download the latest version of SquareLine under the following link according to your host system. JosephAtNXP_0-1732571954892.png NOTE: This document is intended for demonstration of templates included within the tool, so it's recommended to download a free trial, for formal development please refer to the appendix of this document. Unzip and execute the installer, this is the windows prompt. JosephAtNXP_1-1732571954893.png Demo download After setting SquareLine up go to the example section, we will demonstrate the thermostat capabilities with the Thermostat Demo. JosephAtNXP_2-1732571954894.png We can directly export these UI files and they would be graphically ready to be build, click on Export -> Export UI Files and select your preferred destination to save these. JosephAtNXP_3-1732571954894.png LVGL setup. Option 1 Fresh Environment Clone LVGL and LV_DRIVERS repositories, this is a .gitmodules file that points to the specific branches needed.
