MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING TOOL是官方今年上半年推出的一个针对安全的软件工具，操作起来非常的简单便捷而且稳定可靠，对于安全功能不熟悉的用户十分友好。但就是目前功能还不是很完善，只能支持HAB的相关操作，后续像BEE之类的需等待更新。 详细的介绍信息以及用户手册请参考官方网址：MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool | Software Development for NXP Microcontrollers (MCUs) | NXP | NXP  目前似乎知道这个工具的客户还不是很多，大部分用的更多的还是MCU BOOT UTILITY。那么如果已经用了MCU BOOT UTILITY烧录了FUSE，现在想用官方工具了怎么办了？其实对两者进行研究对比后，他们最原始的执行部分都是一样的，所以我们按照如下步骤进行相应的简单替换就能把新工具用起来： 首先是crts可keys的替换， MCU BOOT UTILITY的路径是在： ..\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\tools\cst MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING的对应路径是在对应workspace的根目录： 另外还有一个就是encrypted模式会用到的hab_cert，需要将下面这两个文件对应替换，而且两个工具的命名不同，注意修改。 MCU BOOT UTILITY的路径是在： ..\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\NXP-MCUBootUtility-2.2.0\gen\hab_cert MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING的路径是workspace里： ..\secure_provisioning_RT1050\gen_hab_certs MCU BOOT UTILITY里命名为：SRK_1_2_3_4_table.bin; SRK_1_2_3_4_fuse.bin MCUXPRESSO SECURE PROVISIONING里命名为：SRK_fuses.bin; SRK_hash.bin 至此，就能够在新工具上用起来了 最后提一下，就是这个新工具是可以建不同的workspace来相应存储不同秘钥的项目，能够方便用户区分。在新工具下建的项目也是可以互相替换秘钥的，参考上术步骤中的secure provisioning部分即可。

Recently, we often encounter customers using i.MXRT for RS485 communication. Mostly the problem of receiving and sending direction conversion in the process of using. Taking iMXRT1050 and SN65HVD11QDR as examples, The document introduces the LPUART to RS485 circuit and the method of transceiver control. The working principle is as follows: LPUART TXD: Transmit Data LPUART RXD: Receive Date LPUART RTS_B: Request To Send   The main control methods are as follows: 1  Use TXD signal line to do hardware automatic transceiver control According to the UART protocol, when the line is idle, TX is logic high. After the NOT gate, the LOW level is added to the direction control terminal, so when the UART is not  transmitting data, RS485 is in the state of receiving data. 2   Use GPIO control & LPUART_RTS More detailed information, users can refer to the link: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12679.pdf Note: Using GPIO control, software needs to judge the timing of receiving and sending. If the control is not good, it is easy to lose data. In order to control it well, the software must respond to TX FIFO "empty" interrupt, or query the sending status register, and accurately grasp the control opportunity, so as to ensure that there is no error in sending and receiving. Combined with the above methods, some customers are using the following control: Best Regards

When design a project, sometimes CCM_CLKO1 needs to output different clocks to meet customer needs. This customer does not need to buy a separate crystal, which can reduce costs。The document describe how to make CCM_CLKO1 output different clock on I.MXRT1050. According to  selection of the clock to be generated on CCM_CLKO1(CLKO1_SEL) and setting the divider of CCM_CLKO1(CLKO1_DIV) in I.MXRT1050reference manual. CCM_CLKO1 can output different clock. If CCM_CLKO1 output different clock via SYS PLL clock. We can get the different clock for the application. CLKO1_DIV 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 Freq(MHz) 264 132 88 66 52.8 44 37.714 33 For example we want to get 88Mhz output via SYS PLL clock. We can follow the steps as the below(led_blinky project in SDK 😞       1. PINMUX GPIO_SD_B0_04 as CCM_CLKO1 signal.       IOMUXC_SetPinConfig(       IOMUXC_GPIO_SD_B0_04_CCM_CLKO1,              0x10B0u; 2.Enable CCM_CLKO1 signal. CCM->CCOSR |= CCM_CCOSR_CLKO1_EN_MASK; 3.Set CLKO1_DIV to get 88MHZ the clock for the application. CCM->CCOSR = (CCM->CCOSR & (~CCM_CCOSR_CLKO1_DIV_MASK)) | CCM_CCOSR_CLKO1_DIV(2); CCM->CCOSR = (CCM->CCOSR & (~CCM_CCOSR_CLKO1_SEL_MASK)) | CCM_CCOSR_CLKO1_SEL(1); 4 We will get the clock as the below. Note: In principle, it is not recommended to output CLOCK in CCM_CLKO1, if necessary, Please connect an 8-10pf capacitor to GPIO_SD_B0_04, and connect a 22 ohm resistor in series to prevent interference.

i.MX RT6xx The RT6xx is a crossover MCU family is a breakthrough product combining the best of MCU and DSP functionality for ultra-low power secure Machine Learning (ML) / Artificial Intelligence (AI) edge processing, performance-intensive far-field voice and immersive 3D audio playback applications. Fig 1 is the block diagram for the i.MX RT600. It consists of a Cortex-M33 core that runs up to 300 MHz with 32KB FlexSPI cache and an optional HiFi4 DSP that runs up to 600MHz with 96KB DSP cache and 128KB DSP TCM. It also contains a cryptography engine and DSP/Math accelerator in the PowerQuad co-processor. The device has 4.5MB on-chip SRAM. Key features include the rich audio peripherals, the high-speed USB with PHY and the advanced on-chip security. There is a Flexcomm peripheral that supports the configuration of numerous UARTs, SPI, I2C, I2S, etc. Fig 1 Create a eIQ (TensorFlow Lite library) demo In the latest version of SDK for the i.MX RT600, it still doesn't contain the demos about the Machine Learning (ML) / Artificial Intelligence (AI), so it needs the developers to create this kind of demo by themself. To implement it, port the eIQ demos cross from i.MX RT1050/1060 to i.MX RT685 is the quickest way. The below presents the steps of creating a eIQ (TensorFlow Lite library) demo. Greate a new C++ project Install SDK library Fig 2 Create a new C++ project using installed SDK Part In the MCUXpresso IDE User Guide, Chapter 5 Creating New Projects using installed SDK Part Support presents how to create a new project, please refer to it for details Porting tensorflow-lite Copy the tensorflow-lite library to the target project Copy the TensorFlow-lite library corresponding files to the target project Fig 3 Add the paths for the above files Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6 Porting main code The main() code is from the post: The “Hello World” of TensorFlow Lite Testing On the MIMXRT685 EVK Board (Fig 7), we record the input data: x_value and the inferenced output data: y_value via the Serial Port (Fig 8). Fig 7 Fig 8 In addition, we use Excel to display the received data against our actual values as the below figure shows. Fig 9 In general, In general, it has replicated the result of the The “Hello World” of TensorFlow Lite Troubleshoot In default, the created project doesn't support print float, so it needs to enable this feature by adding below symbols (Fig 10). Fig 10 When a neural network is executed, the results of one layer are fed into subsequent operations and so must be kept around for some time. The lifetimes of these activation layers vary depending on their position in the graph, and the memory size needed for each is controlled by the shape of the array that a layer writes out. These variations mean that it’s necessary to calculate a plan over time to fit all these temporary buffers into as small an area of memory as possible. Currently, this is done when the model is first loaded by the interpreter, so if the area is not big enough, you’ll see a crash event happen. Regard to this application demo, the default heap size is 4 KB, obviously, it's not big enough to store the model’s input, output, and intermediate tensors, as the codes will be stuck at hard-fault interrupt function (Fig 11). Fig 11 So, how large should we allocate the heap area? That’s a good question. Unfortunately, there’s not a simple answer. Different model architectures have different sizes and numbers of input, output, and intermediate tensors, so it’s difficult to know how much memory we’ll need. The number doesn’t need to be exact—we can reserve more memory than we need—but since microcontrollers have limited RAM, we should keep it as small as possible so there’s space for the rest of our program. We can do this through trial and error. For this application demo, the code works well after increasing ten times than the previous heap size (Fig 12). Fig 12
