Hi John OT,
>>1. We didn't want to use hyper flash, instead we want to use either QSPI or SD card.
Yes, QSPI nor flash & sd card are both OK.
>>2. Can we use sd card to boot the system and run the emwin gui?
Yes, you can.
>>3. Is tools are available to program the SD card from out side and use it in RT board?
Using MFG Tools to burn images into SD card.
>>4. Can we use qspi with emwin gui? Since emwin occupy a bigger amount of memory.
Yes, you can.
>>is it wise to use QSPI for booting?
Yes, I think so. QSPI NOR FLASH is cheaper than Hyperflash, and it's speed can also be accepted.
>>Is tools are available to program the qspi with USB/uart connections with PC?
Yes, you will have 2 options:
--Using MFG Tools to download images into QSPI NOR FLASH.
--Via MCUXpresso IDE or IAR syatem, you can also download images into QSPI NOR FLASH,
But you should use I.MXRT1050 with A1 VERSION and SDK2.3.1 or above for EVKB.
Have a great day,
Rita
