i.MX6 SoloLite Bare Metal

[heikowißler_ex]

Hi Everyone!

I´ve a question/problem using the i.MX6SL with processor expert in a bare-metal-embedded-C-Projekt.

The "normal" way to configure the peripherie of the controller by the Kinetis series is to use the processor expert. This Tool does the pin-muxing and also build the interface e.g. to communicate by SPI. But this is not possible if you use the i.MX6SL-Series - is that right? It is only possible to configre the pin-muxing but no driver-code could be build.

Do I need to build my own SPI-Driver? Is that the only way?

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,

Heiko

Hi,

I am trying to blink LED using I.MX6DL. So does the above discussion mean, I can't use the component library available at  McuOnEclipse download | SourceForge.net  to blink LED ?

When I tried to generate code in PEx using the LED component library I got the error as attached in the .jpg file.

Do I need to write my own code for LED now ?

Regards,

Sarang

Hello,

  Yes, the i.MX6 PE provides only software examples how to configure
properly signals via pin multiplexing options. Full driver code should be

design by customers.

Have a great day,

Thanks for your fast support!

In summary there is no possibility to include some external libraries to speed up the development process without using an OS?

Is that right?

Are there libraries of other A9-Controller which could be used?

kind regards,

Hi,

   Alas, we do not have ready for using set of libs / drivers for i.MX6SX SOC.

Customers only can refer to U-boot sources as most completed set of examples.
