This document describes the different source clocks and the main modules that manage which clock source is used to derive the system clocks that exists on the i.MX RT’s devices. It’s important to know the different clock sources available on our devices, modifying the default clock configuration may have different purposes since increasing the processor performance, achieving specific baud rates for serial communications, power saving, or simply getting a known base reference for a clock timer. The hardware used for this document is the following: i.MX RT: EVK-MIMXRT1060 Keep in mind that the described hardware and management clock modules in this document are a general overview of the different platforms and the devices listed above are used as a reference example, some terms and hardware modules functionality may vary between devices of the same platform. For more detailed information about the device hardware modules, please refer to your specific device Reference Manual. RT platforms The Clock Controller Module(CCM) facilitates the clock generation in the RT platforms, many clocking variations are possible and the maximum clock frequency for the i.MX RT1060 device is @600MHz.The following image shows a block diagram of the CCM, the three marked sub-modules are important to understand all the clock path from the clock generation(oscillators or crystals) to the clock management for all the peripherals of the board.    Figure 1. Clock Controller Module(CCM) Block Diagram        CCM Analog Submodule This submodule contains all the oscillators and several PLL’s that provide a clock source to the principal CMM module. For example, the i.MX RT1060 device supports 2 internal oscillators that combined with suitable external quartz crystal and external load capacitors provide an accurate clock source, another 2 internal oscillators are available for low power modes and as a backup when the system detects a loss of clock. These oscillators provide a fixed frequency for the several PLL’s inside this module. Internal Clock Sources with external components  Crystal Oscillator @24MHz Many of the serial IO modules depend on the fixed frequency of 24 MHz. The reference clock that generates this crystal oscillator provides an accurate clock source for all the PLL inputs.  Crystal Oscillator @32KHz Generally, RTC oscillators are either implemented with 32 kHz or 32.768 kHz crystals. This Oscillator should always be active when the chip is powered on. Internal Clock sources RC Oscillator @24MHz A lower-power RC oscillator module is available on-chip as a possible alternative to the 24 MHz crystal oscillator after a successful power-up sequence. The 24 MHz RC oscillator is a self-tuning circuit that will output the programmed frequency value by using the RTC clock as its reference. While the power consumption of this RC oscillator is much lower than the 24MHz crystal oscillator, one limitation of this RC oscillator module is that its clock frequency is not as accurate. Oscillator @32KHz The internal oscillator is automatically multiplexed in the clocking system when the system detects a loss of clock. The internal oscillator will provide clocks to the same on-chip modules as the external 32kHz oscillator. Also is used to be useful for quicker startup times and tampering prevention. Note. An external 32KHz clock source must be used since the internal oscillator is not precise enough for long term timekeeping. PLLs There are 7 PLLs in the i.MXRT1060 platform, some with specific functions, for example, create a reference clock for the ARM Core, USB peripherals, etc. Below these PLLs are listed. PLL1 - ARM PLL (functional frequency @600 MHz) PLL2 - System PLL (functional frequency @528 MHz)* PLL3 - USB1 PLL (functional frequency @480 MHz)* PLL4 - Audio PLL PLL5 - Video PLL PLL6 - ENET PLL PLL7 - USB2 PLL (functional frequency @480 MHz) * Two of these PLLs are each equipped with four Phase Fractional Dividers (PFDs) in order to generate additional frequencies for many clock roots.  Each PLLs configuration and control functions like Bypass, Output Enable/Disable, and Power Down modes are accessible individually through its PFDs and global configuration and status registers found at the CCM internal memory registers.        Clock Control Module(CCM) The Clock Control Module (CCM) generates and controls clocks to the various modules in the design and manages low power modes. This module uses the available clock sources(PLL reference clocks and PFDs) to generate the clock roots. There are two important sub-blocks inside the CCM listed below. Clock Switcher This sub-block provides the registers that control which PLLs and PFDs outputs are selected as the reference clock for the Clock Root Generator.  Clock Root Generator This sub-block provides the registers that control most of the secondary clock source programming, including both the primary clock source selection and the clock dividers. The clock roots are each individual clocks to the core, system buses, and all other SoC peripherals, among those, are serial clocks, baud clocks, and special function blocks. All of these clock references are delivered to the Low Power Clock Gating unit(LPCG).        Low Power Clock Gating unit(LPCG) The LPCG block receives the root clocks from CCM and splits them to clock branches for each peripheral. The clock branches are individually gated clocks. The following image shows a detailed block diagram of the CMM with the previously described submodules and how they link together. Figure 2. Clock Management System Example: Configure The ARM Core Clock (PLL1) to a different frequency. The Clock tools available in MCUXpresso IDE, allows you to understand and configure the clock source for the peripherals in the platform. The following diagram shows the default PLL1 mode configured @600MHz, the yellow path shows all the internal modules involved in the clock configuration.  Figure 3. Default PLL configuration after reset. From the previous image notice that PLL1 is attached from the 24MHz oscillator, then the PLL1 is configured with a pre-scaler of 50 to achieve a frequency @1.2GHz, finally, a frequency divider by 2 let a final frequency @600MHz. 1.1 Modify the PLL1 frequency For example, you can use the Clock tools to configure the PLL pre-scaler to 30, select the PLL1 block and then edit the pre-scaler value, therefore, the final clock frequency is @360MHz, these modifications are shown in the following figure.  Figure 4. PLL1 @720MHz, final frequency @360MHz    1.2 Export clock configuration to the project After you complete the clock configuration, the Clock Tool will update the source code in clock_config.c and clock_config.h, including all the clock functional groups that we created with the tool. This will include the clock source for specific peripherals. In the previous example, we configured the PLL1 (ARM PLL) to a functional frequency @360MHz; this is translated to the following structure in source code: “armPllConfig_BOARD_BootClockRUN” and it’s used by “CLOCK_InitArmPll();” inside the “BOARD_BootClockPLL150MRUN();” function.     Figure 5. PLL1 configuration struct  Figure 6. PLL configuration function Example: The next steps describe how to select a clock source for a specific peripheral. 1.1 Configure clock for specific peripheral For example, using the GPT(General Purpose Timer) the available clock sources are the following: Clock Source Off Peripheral Clock High-Frequency Reference Clock Clock Source from an external pin Low-Frequency Reference Clock Crystal Oscillator Figure 7. General Purpose Timer Clocks Diagram Using the available SDK example project “evkmimxrt1060_gpt_timer” a configuration struct for the peripheral “gptConfig” is called from the main initialization function inside the gpt_timer.c source file, the default configuration function with the configuration struct as a parameter, is shown in the following figure. Figure 8. Function that returns a GPT default configuration parameters The function loads several parameters to the configuration struct(gptConfig), one of the fields is the Clock Source configuration, modifying this field will let us select an appropriate clock source for our application, the following figure shows the default configuration parameters inside the “GPT_GetDefaultConfig();” function.  Figure 9. Configuration struct In the default GPT configuration struct, the Peripheral Clock(kGPT_CLockSource_Periph) is selected, the SDK comes with several macros located at “fsl_gpt.h” header file, that helps to select an appropriate clock source. The next figure shows an enumerated type of data that contains the possible clock sources for the GPT.  Figure 10. Available clock sources of the GPT. For example, to select the Low-Frequency Reference Clock the source code looks like the following figure.  Figure 11. Low-Frequency Reference Clock attached to GPT Notice that all the peripherals come with a specific configuration struct and from that struct fields the default clocking parameters can be modified to fit with our timing requirements. 1.2 Modify the Peripheral Clock frequency from Clock Tools One of the GPT clock sources is the “Peripheral Clock Source” this clock line can be modified from the Clock Tools, the following figure shows the default frequency configuration from Clock Tools view. Figure 12. GPT Clock Root inside CMM In the previous figure, the GPT clock line is @75MHz, notice that this is sourced from the primary peripheral clock line that is @600MHz attached to the ARM core clocks. For example, modify the PERCLK_PODF divider selecting it and changing the divider value to 4, the resulting frequency is @37.5Mhz, the following figure illustrates these changes.  Figure 13. GPT & PIT clock line @37.5MHz 1.3 Export clock configuration to the project After you complete the clock configuration, the Clock Tool will update the source code in clock_config.c and clock_config.h, including all the clock functional groups that we created with the tool. This will include the clock source for specific peripherals. In the previous example, we configured the GPT clock root divider by a dividing factor of 4 to achieve a 37.5MHz frequency; this is translated to the following instruction in source code: “CLOCK_SetDiv(kCLOCK_PerclkDiv,3);” inside the “BOARD_BootClockRUN();” function.                Figure 14.

Introduction The RT1064 is the only Crossover MCU from the RT family that comes with an on-chip flash, it has a 4MB Winbond W25Q32JV memory. It's important to remark that it's not an internal memory but an on-chip flash connected to the RT1064 through the FlexSPI2 interface. Having this flash eliminates the need of an external memory. Although the intended use of the on-chip flash is to store your application and do XiP, there might be cases where you would like to use some space of this memory as NVM. This document will explain how to modify one of the SDK example projects to achieve this.  Prerequisites RT1064-EVK  The latest SDK which you can download from the following link: Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder. In this document, I will use MCUXpresso IDE but you can use the IDE of your preference. The modifications that you need to make are the same despite the IDE that you are using.  Importing the SDK example  The RT1064-EVK comes with two external flash memories, 512 Mb Hyper Flash and 64 Mb QSPI Flash. The RT1064-SDK includes two example projects that demonstrate how to use any of these two external flash memories as NVM. In this document, we will take as a base one of these examples to modify it to use the on-chip flash as NVM. Once you downloaded and imported the SDK into MCUXpresso IDE, you will need to import the example flexspi_nor_polling_transfer into your workspace.    Modifying the SDK example The external NOR Flash memory of the EVK is connected to the RT1064 through the FlexSPI1 interface. Due to this, the example project that we just imported initializes the FlexSPI1 interface pins. In our case, we want to use the on-chip flash that is connected through the FlexSPI2 instance, since we will boot from this memory, the ROM bootloader will configure the pins of this FlexSPI interface. So, in the function BOARD_InitPins we can delete all the pins that were related to the FlexSPI1 interface. At the end your function should look like the following:  void BOARD_InitPins(void) { CLOCK_EnableClock(kCLOCK_Iomuxc); /* iomuxc clock (iomuxc_clk_enable): 0x03u */ IOMUXC_SetPinMux( IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_12_LPUART1_TX, /* GPIO_AD_B0_12 is configured as LPUART1_TX */ 0U); /* Software Input On Field: Input Path is determined by functionality */ IOMUXC_SetPinMux( IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_13_LPUART1_RX, /* GPIO_AD_B0_13 is configured as LPUART1_RX */ 0U); /* Software Input On Field: Input Path is determined by functionality */ /* Software Input On Field: Force input path of pad GPIO_SD_B1_11 */ IOMUXC_SetPinConfig( IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_12_LPUART1_TX, /* GPIO_AD_B0_12 PAD functional properties : */ 0x10B0u); /* Slew Rate Field: Slow Slew Rate Drive Strength Field: R0/6 Speed Field: medium(100MHz) Open Drain Enable Field: Open Drain Disabled Pull / Keep Enable Field: Pull/Keeper Enabled Pull / Keep Select Field: Keeper Pull Up / Down Config. Field: 100K Ohm Pull Down Hyst. Enable Field: Hysteresis Disabled */ IOMUXC_SetPinConfig( IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_13_LPUART1_RX, /* GPIO_AD_B0_13 PAD functional properties : */ 0x10B0u); /* Slew Rate Field: Slow Slew Rate Drive Strength Field: R0/6 Speed Field: medium(100MHz) Open Drain Enable Field: Open Drain Disabled Pull / Keep Enable Field: Pull/Keeper Enabled Pull / Keep Select Field: Keeper Pull Up / Down Config. Field: 100K Ohm Pull Down Hyst. Enable Field: Hysteresis Disabled */ } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Function flexspi_nor_flash_init initializes the FlexSPI interface but in our case, the ROM bootloader already did this for us. So we need to make some modifications to this function as well. The only things that we will need from this function are to update the LUT and to do a software reset of the FlexSPI2 interface. At the end your function should look like the following:  void flexspi_nor_flash_init(FLEXSPI_Type *base) { /* Update LUT table. */ FLEXSPI_UpdateLUT(base, 0, customLUT, CUSTOM_LUT_LENGTH); /* Do software reset. */ FLEXSPI_SoftwareReset(base); } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Inside the file app.h, we need to change some macros since now we will use a different memory and a different FlexSPI interface. The following macros are the ones that you need to modify:  Macro Before After Observations EXAMPLE_FLEXPI FLEXSPI FLEXSPI2 On-chip flash is connected through FlexSPI2 interface  FLASH_SIZE 0x2000 0x200 The size of the on-chip flash is different from the external NOR flash  EXAMPLE_FLEXSPI_AMBA_BASE FlexSPI_AMBA_BASE FlexSPI2_AMBA_BASE On-chip flash is connected through FlexSPI2 interface  EXAMPLE_SECTOR 4 100 The size of the on-chip flash is less than the external NOR flash, hence we will decrease the sector size to avoid erasing our application  Everything else in this file remains the same.  Finally, there are two changes that we need to make in the customLUT. To understand these changes you need to analyze the datasheets of the memories. But in the end, the two modifications are the followings:  Erase sector command of the on-chip flash is 0x20 instead of 0xD7.  Exchange the FLEXSPI command index for NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST_QUAD and NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_NORMAL to align with XIP settings. At the end your customLUT should look like the following:  const uint32_t customLUT[CUSTOM_LUT_LENGTH] = { /* Fast read quad mode - SDR */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST_QUAD] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x6B, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18), [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST_QUAD + 1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ( kFLEXSPI_Command_DUMMY_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x08, kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x04), /* Fast read mode - SDR */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x0B, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18), [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST + 1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ( kFLEXSPI_Command_DUMMY_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x08, kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04), /* Normal read mode -SDR */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_NORMAL] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x03, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18), [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_NORMAL + 1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), /* Read extend parameters */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READSTATUS] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x81, kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04), /* Write Enable */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_WRITEENABLE] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x06, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), /* Erase Sector */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_ERASESECTOR] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x20, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18), /* Page Program - single mode */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_PAGEPROGRAM_SINGLE] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x02, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18), [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_PAGEPROGRAM_SINGLE + 1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_WRITE_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), /* Page Program - quad mode */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_PAGEPROGRAM_QUAD] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x32, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x18), [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_PAGEPROGRAM_QUAD + 1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_WRITE_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x04, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), /* Read ID */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READID] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x9F, kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04), /* Enable Quad mode */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_WRITESTATUSREG] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x01, kFLEXSPI_Command_WRITE_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04), /* Enter QPI mode */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_ENTERQPI] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x35, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), /* Exit QPI mode */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_EXITQPI] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0xF5, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), /* Read status register */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READSTATUSREG] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x05, kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x04), /* Erase whole chip */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_ERASECHIP] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0xC7, kFLEXSPI_Command_STOP, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0), }; ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ These are all the changes that you need to make to the flexspi_nor_polling_transfer to use the on-chip flash as NVM instead of the external NOR flash.  Important notes It's important to mention that you cannot write, erase or read the on-chip flash while making XiP from this memory. So, you need to reallocate all the instructions that read, write and erase the flash to the internal FlexRAM. Fortunately, the example that we use as a base (flexspi_nor_polling_transfer) already does this. This is accomplished thanks to the files located in the linkscritps folder. To learn more about how this works, please refer to section 17.15 of the MCUXpresso IDE User Guide.  Additional resources Datasheet of the on-chip memory (Winbond W25Q32JV).  MCUXpresso IDE User Guide.  I hope that you find this document useful!  Regards,  Victor 

This guide will walk through how to do connect the camera and LCD modules to i.MX RT boards and how to test to ensure the camera and LCD are connected properly. Update May 2022: There are now updated versions of these LCD panels that have an impact on software. See this post for more details. The physical connections are the same for both the original and new panels however so there are no changes to this guide.   This first part of this guide is for the i.MX RT1050, i.MX RT1060, i.MX RT1064 EVKs. The second part of this guide is for i.MX RT595, i.MX RT1160 and i.MX RT1170 EVKs.      Part 1: Camera and LCD for i.MX RT1050, i.MX RT1060, and i.MX RT1064:  The camera used by the RT1050, RT1060, and R1064 EVKs are the same. However this camera only comes with the RT1060 and RT1064 EVKs. There are alternatives available for the RT1050 as discussed in this blog post.    The LCD screen compatible with these boards is the RK043FN66HS-CTG    Camera:  1) The camera connector is on the front of the board. Flip the black connector up so it's 90 degrees from its original position.  2) Then slide in the flat ribbon connector of the camera 3) Flip the black connector back down. It should keep the ribbon cable snug.   LCD: 1) On the back of the board, slide the black connector for the LCD ribbon forward. 2) Then slide in the flat LCD ribbon cable underneath the black connector. 3) Slide the black connector back to its original position. The cable should be snug. 4) Do the same for the touch controller connector and slide the black connector forward 4)Then insert the cable between the black connector and the white top so that the cable is in the middle. It might take a few tries as its somewhat difficult. You could also use needle nose pliers to help guide in the cable but be careful about damaging the cable. 5) Then slide the black connector back to the original position. The cable should be snug. 6) It should look like the following when complete.   Testing: 1) To test the camera and LCD, use the CSI driver examples in the MCUXpresso SDK.  2) The camera will likely be out of focus the first time you use it. Adjust it by rotating the lens clockwise until the image is in focus. You can use your fingers or some needle nose pliers. It could take up to two rotations and it should turn easily. Also remove the plastic cover.    3) To test the touch controller, use the emwin temperature control example in the MCUXpresso SDK   Tape: 1) Once the LCD has been confirmed to work, you can use two layers of thick double sided foam tape to securely attach it to the board.      Part 2: Camera and LCD for i.MX RT1160 and i.MX RT1170 EVKs:  The i.MX RT1160 and i.MX RT1170 EVKs both come with a OV5640 MIPI camera module in the box.    The LCD screen compatible with the i.MX RT1160 and i.MX RT1170-EVK is the RK055HDMIPI4MA0 and it can be found here.   i.MX RT1170-EVK Camera:  1) The camera connector is on the front of the board at J2. It connects by simply pressing the camera down onto the connector. It takes a bit of force but should not be too difficult.    i.MX RT1170-EVK LCD: 1) On the back of the board, slide the black connector (J40) for the LCD ribbon forward towards the edge of the board.    2) Then carefully slide in the flat LCD ribbon cable into the connector. The blue writing should be facing up like in the photo. It should go above the black part of the connector that you just slid out, and under the white part of the connector.  3) Slide the black plastic connector back to its original position. The cable should be snug if pulled. It should look like the following:    i.MX RT1170-EVK Power: 1) If using the LCD, then the external power adapter must be used with the board. Connect the barrel connector to J43 on the board. 2) Also change the jumper on J38 to be on pins 1-2 so that it uses the external power.  3) Connect a micro-USB cable to J11, which will cause the board to enumerate as a COM port and as a debug interface for downloading and debugging code   i.MX RT1170-EVK Camera and LCD Testing: 1) To test the camera and LCD, use the csi_mipi_rgb_cm7 driver example that can be found in the MCUXpresso SDK for i.MX RT1170. The camera input should be displayed on the LCD screen if everything is connected properly.

i.MXRT1050 MCU supports 10M/100M Ethernet MAC. Nowadays, LAN8720A is a very common PHY used in many networking design. In this document, I will show you how to use LAN8720A with i.MXRT1050.  1. Schematic   In this design example,  ENET_RST  is connected to GPIO_AD_B1_04      ENET_INT is connected to GPIO_AD_B0_15      2. Source code modification In the i.MXRT1050 SDK, the source code files of the PHY are fsl_phy.c and fsl_phy.h. The registers of LAN8720A need to be added into the source code. Below is the registers of LAN8720A. The details can be found in the LAN8720A datasheet. ( The modified fsl_phy.c and fsl_phy.h are attached)   In the pinmux.c, modify the GPIO Mux setting of the ENET_INT and ENET_RST.   IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B1_04_GPIO1_IO20, 0U);                                      IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_15_GPIO1_IO15, 0U);                                      IOMUXC_SetPinConfig(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B1_04_GPIO1_IO20, 0xB0A9u);                                  IOMUXC_SetPinConfig(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_15_GPIO1_IO15, 0xB0A9u);                               This is the part of the source code to reset the PHY in the main() function. gpio_pin_config_t gpio_config = {kGPIO_DigitalOutput, 0, kGPIO_NoIntmode}; GPIO_PinInit(GPIO1, 20, &gpio_config); GPIO_PinInit(GPIO1, 15, &gpio_config); GPIO_WritePinOutput(GPIO1, 15, 1); GPIO_WritePinOutput(GPIO1, 20, 0); delay(); GPIO_WritePinOutput(GPIO1, 20, 1); For more example codes, please refer to the demo_apps/lwip in the i.MXRT SDK package.

There are two main methods for importing a project from GUI Guider to MCUXpresso: Linking the whole GUI Guider project into MCUXpresso. Copying and replacing the GUI on a pre-built LVGL project on MCUXpresso (like the "lvgl_guider" SDK example code). Although the first method is quite convenient, there are times when a user might have a GUI already on an established project. In this case, the second method might be very useful. However, when trying to add lottie widgets to a GUI of an already established project (like the "lvgl_guider" SDK example code), extra steps are required, as this widget uses a proprietary library from Samsung which requires extra steps to add and enable. This document describes the steps needed to add rlottie widgets to a project that is already established in MCUXpresso. GUI Guider 1.8.0, MCUXpresso v11.10.0 and SDK 2.16.000 were used for this document, although the process should be the same for future versions.   Once the Lottie widget has been added to the GUI on GUI Guider, you will want to follow the common steps to import this GUI into the MCUXPresso project. Replace the "custom" and "generated" folders on the MCUXpresso project with the GUI Guider folders: <GUI Guider Project Installation>\custom. <GUI Guider Project Installation>\generated.   TIP: You can open the default location of the MCUXpresso project on the file explorer by selecting the project, opening the "Show In" window by pressing Alt + Shift + W, and selecting "System Explorer":   TIP: You can open the default location of the GUI Guider project on the file explorer by clicking on the green folder icon on the top menu bar:   Copy the "lib" folder from: <GUI Guider Project Installation>\lib into the MCUXpresso project.   Copy the "rlottie" folder from: <GUI Guider Project Installation>\sdk\core\rlottie into the MCUXpresso project.   That’s it for file management. Now, in MCUXpresso: Include the "lib" and "rlottie" folders as source folders by adding their path under: Project properties > C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols > Source Location.   Include the rlottie folder as include path by adding its path under the following two compilers' include paths: Project properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > MCU C++ Compiler > Includes > Include Paths.   Project properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > MCU C Compiler > Includes > Include Paths.   As mentioned on the LVGL documentation for "Rlottie player", we need to add the "-rlottie" flag to the linker, but also link the rlottie library (librlottie.a) to the project. This is done by setting the following on Project Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > MCU C++ Linker > Libraries:   Finally, enable the macro definition: #define LV_USE_RLOTTIE 1 under the "lv_conf.h" file on "source" to tell LVGL that we are using the rlottie library.   With these steps, the rlottie application was imported, along with its headers and libraries, and this rlottie feature was enabled by linking them to the build configuration. Because of this, the application compiles without any errors. Great! Note: There's a possibility that the following error shows up when compiling: If this is the case, simply change the following macro in "source" > "lv_conf.h" from '0' to '1' to enable user data in the lv_font_t variable type:   However, when executing the application, the screen goes black. Turns out, as soon as the application tries to execute the first rlottie instruction from the ".a" archived library, it is unable to execute anything, which causes the application to halt and get stuck on a black screen. This happens as soon as the application calls line 113 of the "lv_rlottie.c" file to construct the rlottie widget: (This file is under <project folder>\lvgl\lvgl\src\extra\libs\rlottie)   But there was no issue when building the application, so what gives? Well, the Rlottie library is quite memory heavy, so we also need to provide it with memory according to its requirements. We can do this by increasing the heap and stack size from their "default" state to something like 0x800000 for the stack and 0x1000 for the heap. These values are what GUI Guider provides to its projects when using Rlottie widgets.   With this, the MCUXpresso project will now have the rlottie libraries enabled, and also have enough memory to successfully debug/run the project on the i.MX RT board.       Happy "Lottie-ing"!   Edwin.

How to create RT AVB switch&endpoint platform 1. Abstract In the previous article, it talked about how to use a single-point RT1170 as a talker and a single-point RT1170 as a listener, and connect the two boards directly to implement AVB endpoint testing. However, in actual use, many applications are multipoint to multipoint, but AVB switch is required. Therefore, based on the previous article, this article adds another listener endpoint and AVB switch to implement an AVB platform with one talker and two listeners. Fig 1 The AVB switch can be a third-party AVB switch product. Of course, you can also consider using NXP's upcoming new product RT1180. This chip has AVB/TSN switch function, and our RT1180 supporting stack has also been released. 2. Platform creation This article will use two AVB switches to do AVB testing: one uses the NXP official MIMXRT1180-EVK as an AVB switch, and the other uses the third-party product MOTU's AVB switch. The endpoints use three NXP MIMXRT1170-EVK boards, one for talker configuration and the other two for listener configuration. For the configuration of RT1170 as endpoint, that is, talker and listener, you can refer to the previous article: RT1170 AVB fresh tasting Here you can directly start quickly, take the avb_app.bin prepared in the stack and burn it directly to MIMXRT1170-EVK for talker and listener configuration. Of course, if there are some customized functions that modify the source code, you can also refer to the above article to recompile, generate the avb_app.bin file and then burn it. 2.1 Software and hardware Hardware:       MOTU AVB SWITCH(switch)       MIMXRT1180-EVK*1(switch)       MIMXRT1170-EVK*3(1: talker, 2: listener), hardware need to be modified, refer to the previous document Software: RT1170 AVB/TSN stack： genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_13_0-5_6_1： https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/download/52643189c4d74a7b26b8e096ab28df0e RT1180 AVB/TSN stack: genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_15_0-6_0_0 : https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/download/c584c33a8d4f55c29b5505b9be8f537a   2.2 Configure RT1170 AVB endpoints Directly burn the files in avbstack: genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_13_0-5_6_1\binaries\genavb-avb_audio_app-evaluation-freertos_rt1176-5_6_1.tar\genavb-avb_audio_app-evaluation-freertos_rt1176-5_6_1\release\avb_app.bin to the three MIMXRT1170-EVK development boards and enter the serial download mode to program: Fig 2 The three boards are burned with the same code. After burning, let the board enter the internal boot mode and configure the talker and listener through the serial port. After the code is burned successfully, the onboard serial port will keep sending log information. You only need to enter INSERT on the keyboard to enter the shell command line state. 2.2.1 1MIMXRT1170-EVK do the talker configuration cd .. ls mkdir avb_app write avb_app/mclock_role 0 mkdir avdecc write avdecc/btb_mode 0 mkdir fgptp write fgptp/gmCapable 1 mkdir port0 write port0/hw_addr 00:22:33:44:55:66 2.2.2 2 MIMXRT1170-EVK do the listener configuration cd .. ls mkdir avb_app write avb_app/mclock_role 1 mkdir avdecc write avdecc/btb_mode 1 write avdecc/talker_id 0x00049f4455660000 2.3 AVB Switch configuration     The following are two SWITCH configuration connections: 2.3.1 MOTU AVB Switch Use MOTU AVB switch as the AVB switch connection block diagram: Fig 3   The physical board connections are as follows: Fig 4 For the dedicated AVB switch, no specific configuration is required, because you can think of it as a switch with AVB function, which can realize the forwarding function of AVB data. You only need to connect the 1G network port of a talker and the 1G network ports of two listeners to the network port of MOTU AVB SWITCH. Then as long as the functions of the talker and the listener are normal, the entire audio transmission can be normal. The talker is responsible for collecting the audio data information of the microphone and then forwarding it to the two listeners for playback. Of course, the two listeners need to be connected to the speakers respectively. 2.3.2 RT1180 AVB switch For the configuration of RT1180 AVB switch, there are two methods: quick start and self-compilation. If there is no change in the source code, you can directly use the bin file that comes with the stack. Here you need to pay attention to select the correct bin file. RT1180 has two cores: CM33 and CM7 cores. The CM33 image supports the TSN/AVB bridge function, that is, the switch, and the CM7 image supports the TSN endpoint function.    MIMXRT1180-EVK contains multi-network ports, the situation is: Fig 5 Fig 6 Therefore, when using the AVB switch network port, you need to pay attention to using ENET0, 1, 2, and 3 ports. The connection diagram of using MIMXRT1180-EVK as the AVB switch network port is as follows: Fig 7 The actual connection diagram is as follows: Fig 8 To implement the RT1180 code, you need to download the RT1180 M33 TSN bridge code to the MIMXRT1180-EVK board. If the source code of the AVB/TSN stack does not need to be modified, you can use the ready-made bin file for testing: genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_15_0-6_0_0\binaries\genavb-tsn_app-evaluation-freertos_rt1189_cm33-6_0_0\release\tsn_app.bin There are many ways to burn, you can use tools or command line methods. The tool can be MCUBootutility or the official SEC tool. Here we choose to use the MCUBootutility tool, download link: https://github.com/JayHeng/NXP-MCUBootUtility/releases/tag/v6.2.0 If you use the SEC tool to download, you can refer to the stack documentation: genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_15_0-6_0_0\doc\ NXP_GenAVB_TSN_MCUXpresso_User_s_Guide_6_0_rev0.pdf, chapter 11 Flash Image booting. When use the MCUBootutility tool, it needs to do the modification: \NXP-MCUBootUtility-6.2.0\src\targets\MIMXRT1189 \MIMXRT1189\bltargetconfig.py Modify: #flexspiNorMemBase0 = 0x38000000 # CM33 Secure #flexspiNorMemBase0Ns = 0x28000000 # CM33 Non-Secure To: flexspiNorMemBase0 = 0x28000000 # CM33 Non-Secure flexspiNorMemBase0Ns = 0x38000000 # CM33 Secure Fig 9 Burn the tsn_app.bin to the RT1180 address 0x2800b000。 Let the MIMXRT1180-EVK board enter serial download mode，SW5:1-OFF,2-OFF,3-OFF,4-ON. Then, find another usb cable to connect J33 to do the code flash downloading. After the code is programmed, need to enter the internal boot mode for QSPI: SW5:1-OFF,2-ON,3-OFF,4-OFF. This completes the burning of the app with AVB switch function. This code does not need to enter the shell to configure the filesystem like RT1170. For the RT1180 bridge code, after burning, the switch function will be built-in after restarting. Of course, if you need to recompile your own project, you can directly refer to the stack documentation: NXP_GenAVB_TSN_MCUXpresso_User_s_Guide_6_0_rev0.pdf. If you use Linux system to compile, the method is the same as RT1170, three steps:      (1) Patch the AVB stack for the RT1180 SDK     (2)add two soft links to the RT1180 AVB stack, one for the board SDK and the other for the AVB SDK source code. The structure is as follows:   Fig 10    (3) At last, build ./ build_release.sh \genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_15_0-6_0_0\genavb-apps-freertos-6_0_0.tar\genavb-apps-freertos-6_0_0\boards\evkmimxrt1180\demo_apps\avb_tsn\tsn_app\cm33\armgcc\ build_release.sh Then, it will generate the according tsn_app.bin file. 3. AVB network data packet analysis I have always wanted to check the AVB network data packets, so I thought of the following method to do it. I also found a general network switch that can package some of the network ports to specific network ports. This method is used here just to check the basic packets. In principle, the general switch does not have the AVB physical layer function, so it should have some impact on the synchronization function. However, due to the limitation of the equipment, this article only has a basic understanding of the AVB data packet structure. Prepare a switch with port mirror function: NETGERA plus switch ProSAFE GS105E. Then configure the switch to mirror the data of ports 2 and 3 to port 1: Fig 11 Then the entire AVB system connection diagram is as follows: Fig 12 The physical connection diagram is as follows: Fig 13 Open the entire system platform and let the system function run, that is, the talker endpoint has sound input and the amplifiers of the two listener endpoints have output. Open the wireshark software on the PC and capture the packets. The captured situation is as follows: Fig 14 As you can see, there are many AVTP packets, and there are two destination addresses. To analyze AVTP packets, you must first know what the standard AVTP packets are like. The standard packets have the following structure: Fig 15 Next, open the wireshark software, configure the network port to be captured, and compare the captured data packets: Fig 16 As you can see, the whole packet is basically captured, but the details, such as VLAN tag and IEC 61883 header, are not present. This is probably caused by the physical layer of ordinary switches cannot support AVB. However, the audio data above can still be seen, and it is indeed dual-channel, but the data is only transmitted through one channel. Therefore, for the RT1170 listener, although a dual-channel speaker is connected, the two speakers correspond to the left and right channels, but when listening, only one speaker channel has sound, and the other has no sound. This is consistent with the captured data packet. The source of this is that the stack code uses one channel for microphone acquisition, and although the audio is configured with two channels, there is actually only one channel with data. So far, the architecture and test of the AVB switch&endpoint platform have been realized. The test effect can be viewed in the video.    

RT1170 camera CSI Y8 format modification 1.Abstract RT1170's CSI can support YUV format. The so-called YUV is divided into three components: Y represents luminance, that is, grayscale value; UV represents chrominance, which describes chroma and saturation. Similar to RGB, YUV is also a color encoding method, which can separate luminance information Y from chroma information UV. If you want to display black and white, you can have no UV information, only Y information, that is, Y800=Y8, and you can also display the complete image. For RT1170 YUV, the official SDK provides demo based on the YUV444 format, but in actual use, some customers need the function of the Y8 format, so how should they configure it based on the existing YUV SDK? From the reference manual of RT1170, you can see the following information: Fig 1 This description can be understood as requiring the Y8 mode, as long as the configuration: CSI_CR20[BINARY_EN]=0 CSI_CR20[BIG_END]=1 However, in reality, with this configuration, the original YUV code cannot display the camera data. So how should the camera's Y8 configuration be done to display black and white images on the LCD? This article will give a detailed explanation. 2. RT1170 CSI Camera Y8 format configuration and testing 2.1 Hardware and software situation Board：MIMXRT1170-EVK REV C4 LCD:  RK055AHD091 Camera：OV5640 Code：SDK_2_15_000_MIMXRT1170-EVK\boards\evkmimxrt1170\driver_examples\csi\mipi_yuv\cm7 IDE： MCUXPresso IDE v11.9.0 2.2 Y8 formation configuration   In fact, for CSI_CR20 configuration, you also need to enable the Histogram function, which is the following register bits: Fig 2 Here, based on the current SDK demo evkmimxrt1170_csi_mipi_yuv_cm7 demo, modify it to the Y8 format, list the modification points, mainly modify the file:csi_mipi_yuv.c (1) static void DEMO_InitPxp(void) Modify: PXP_SetCsc1Mode(DEMO_PXP, kPXP_Csc1YCbCr2RGB); To: PXP_SetCsc1Mode(DEMO_PXP, kPXP_Csc1YUV2RGB); If this item is not modified, LCD will just display the Green color. （2）static void DEMO_InitCamera(void) Before BOARD_InitMipiCsi(); Add the this code: CSI->CR20 |= CSI_CR20_QRCODE_EN_MASK | CSI_CR20_HISTOGRAM_EN_MASK; Here, didn’t configure CSI_CR20[BINARY_EN]=0, as after reseting, this bit is default to 0. If in the practical usage, this bit is modified to 1, then here, need to modify BINARY_EN to 0, it means the format is Y8, not Y1. The reason that can’t display the correct Y8 previously, is caused by the bit HISTOGRAM_EN is not set. (3) static void DEMO_CSI_MIPI_YUV(void) Modify structure psBufferConfig as follows: pxp_ps_buffer_config_t psBufferConfig = { .pixelFormat = kPXP_PsPixelFormatY8, //kPXP_PsPixelFormatYUV1P444, /* Note: This is 32-bit per pixel */ .swapByte = false, .bufferAddrU = 0U, .bufferAddrV = 0U, .pitchBytes = DEMO_CAMERA_WIDTH,//DEMO_CAMERA_WIDTH * DEMO_CAMERA_BUFFER_BPP,// }; Mainly 2 points: .pixelFormat = kPXP_PsPixelFormatY8, .pitchBytes  = DEMO_CAMERA_WIDTH, If you only change the pixel format to Y8, but pitchBytes is not changed to the camera width, the resulting LCD display will be a small strip on the top, instead of the entire LCD screen showing the camera's Y8 format black and white image. So far, all Y8-related modification projects have been completed. Finally, it should be noted that the default SDK LCD display is not the one selected in this article: RK055AHD091. So you need to modify the DEMO_PANEL macro in display_support.h to the following: #define DEMO_PANEL DEMO_PANEL_RK055AHD091 Then, build the project, and download it to the board MIMXRT1170-EVK. 2.3 Test result after modification Below we use the same color picture to test the YUV and Y8 display effects in front of the camera. here are the pictures:  the camera format of the picture on the left is YUV444, and the picture on the right is in Y8 format. You can see that the left one is in color, and the right one is in black and white. The black and white Y8 camera data acquisition and LCD display have been successfully completed.

RT1170 CMSIS DAP+IDE debug based on ECC enabled 1.    Abstract This article aims to solve the problem that after enabling the ECC function, RT1170 cannot be debugged using CMSIS DAP in the three major IDEs (MCUXpresso, IAR, MDK). ECC is enabled by burning the relevant fuses and enabling ROM preloading, which means that the ROM will help initialize the RAM. However, in actual use, it is found that different debuggers have different appearances on the IDE. For example, Segger JLINK can directly implement debugging, but when CMSIS DAP is combined with the three major IDEs, there will be a problem that the code cannot be debugged after being downloaded to RAM. Here, taking MCUXpresso IDE as an example, after burning the ECC-related fuses on the MIMXRT1170-EVK board, if the project is burned to RAM, it can be debugged directly. However, if the project is burned to flash, there will be problems with flashloader: Fig 1    So is this problem caused by the mismatch of flashloader, or does it require additional operations? This article will give a specific solution! 2. RT1170 ECC basic enable and solution 2.1 RT1170 ECC basic    ECC stands for Error Correcting Code, which can detect and correct memory errors. So what ECC does RT1170 have? They are: MECC64, XECC, FlexRAM ECC. MECC64 MECC64 supports 1-bit error correction and 2-bit error detection,to 2bit, it cannot correct errors, just detect the error. MECC64 is mainly protects OCRAM1 and 2 in the chip. MECC1 protects OCRAM1, and MECC2 protects OCRAM2. OCRAM1 ECC and OCRAM2 ECC are used to store ECC check values. If ECC64 is not enabled, it can be used as a normal OCRAM. An 8-bit ECC check value (8 bits) is calculated for every 64 bits of data. The ECC algorithm is Hsiao Hamming. XECC XECC is External ECC controller, which is used to provide ECC function for external storage space. XECC supports 1-bit error correction and 2-bit error detection. External memory includes XECC_FLEXSPI1, XECC_FLEXSPI2, and XECC+SEMC. XECC can calculate a 4-bit ECC check value for every 4 bits. The XECC check value is immediately following the original value. For example, for a 32-bit data, a 4-bit ECC check value is generated for every 4 bits. 32-bit original data needs to generate 32-bit ECC check data, which requires a total of 64 bits of space. Algorithm: Hsiao Hamming algorithm FlexRAM ECC FlexRAM ECC is used to protect the ITCM, DTCM and OCRAM of FlexRAM. It supports 1-bit error correction and 2-bit error detection. A 7/8-bit ECC check value is calculated for every 4 bytes of DTCM or 8 bytes of ITCM/OCRAM, and the ECC check value is placed in the ECC RAM. 2.2 RT1170 ECC enable    The method used in this article to enable ECC is to directly enable the relevant fuse bit. - MECC_ENABLE (0x840[2]) = 1 - XECC_ENABLE (0x840[3]) = 1 - ROM preloading (0x950[0]) = 1 - FLEXRAMECC_ENABLE (0x840[15]) = 1 For more software configuration information, please refer to the official application note AN13204: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN13204.pdf The following is the situation after burning the relevant fuses. Burning the fuses can enter the serial download mode and use MCUbootutility to burn: Fig 2 2.3 ECC debug issue solution methods After testing in many ways, such as initializing RAM in the script, because of the characteristics of ECC, RAM needs to be flashed once, but it is found that the general code speed of flashing RAM directly is too slow, resulting in download timeout problems, and then it is changed to use DMA to move data to RAM to ensure that RAM is flashed once, but the result is still not good, so flashing RAM is not the fundamental way to solve the debug problem. Finally, by chance, ECC is turned off in the connection script first, especially FlexRAM ECC, and it is found that the burning algorithm can be called to perform external flash operations at this time. In this way, the code can be successfully downloaded, and then reset to let the ROM turn on the ECC function by itself. The reason why the RAM project can work is that the process of downloading RAM is a process of flashing RAM, so the RAM code can work directly. For the debugger burning and simulation of Flash code, it is still necessary to turn off the ECC module first, mainly the FlexRAM ECC module. Of course, for the sake of insurance, we can directly turn off all MECC and FlexRAM ECC register enable bits, let the flashloader work first, and directly control the register address: 0x40014100=0；0x40018100=0；0x40028108=0； 0x40014100 PIPE_ECC_EN[ECC_EN], control MECC1 0x40018100 PIPE_ECC_EN[ECC_EN], control MECC2 Fig 3 0x40028108 FLEXRAM_CTRL ECC_EN, control FlexRAM ECC Fig 4 According to the actual test situation, disabling FlexRAM ECC is effective. The problem should be that the area where the flashloader used is stored is the DTCM of FlexRAM. Check the area of ​​the Flashloader of the burning algorithm as follows: Fig 5 3  Three major IDEs script and testing Here, share the three IDE(MCUXPresso, IAR, MDK)+CMSIS DAP+ECC related modified

Information sharing: For MCUXPresso IDE, subsequent scripts will automatically add ECC support, the new version is MCUXpresso11.10.0. Scripts for other IDEs need to be added by themselves.  

How to load MDK RAM app to the RT1170 external flash 1. Abstract This guide is requested by our end customer, he wants to realize the MDK project RAM code download to the MIMXRT1170 external QSPI flash. So, based on the NXP RT1170 SDK, and the MIMXRT1170-EVK board, generate the MDK project, reallocate the app image, generate the image, and use the tool to download the code to the external flash. 2. App image prepare 2.1 Generate one SDK MDK standalone project Open the SDK_2_15_000_MIMXRT1170-EVK webpage: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/builder?hw=MIMXRT1170-EVK Download the SDK, and generate one MDK standalone project: Fig 1 Fig 2 After downloading, we will get the MIMXRT1170-EVK-iled_blinky_cm7.zip, which is the MDK project. 2.2 MDK project image reallocation As the RAM image is the none-xip image, normally to the IDE, can’t download to the flash directly, as the debug is in the RAM. If want to download to the flash, we can generate the app image, then use the tool to program it to the external flash. Normally, none-xip image, the IVT offset is 0X400, so we need to reallocate the image start address, here, we can use 0X2000 as the app entry address. Fig 3 ITCM default size is 256K=0X4000, so modify the linker file-> scf file like this: Fig 4 Now, to generate the hex and bin image file, which is used for the tool downloading. Fig 5 To build the bin file command: $K\ARM\ARMCC\bin\fromelf.exe --bin --output=debug\@L.bin !L Fig 6   Building, you can find the file in the folder: MIMXRT1170-EVK-iled_blinky_cm7\iled_blinky_cm7\debug Fig 7 2.3 MDK project debug after reallocation After the image reallocation, some customer may still need the MDK RAM project can do the debugging, here, also need to modify the debug .ini file. The Setup also need to change the SP, PC and Vector table offset register address. Fig 8 Then build and debug the code, we can find it can enter the ram image debug mode: Fig 9 3. App image download We can use the MCUBootUtility Tool to download the code: https://github.com/JayHeng/NXP-MCUBootUtility/releases/tag/v6.1.0 the related user manual is: https://github.com/JayHeng/NXP-MCUBootUtility Download the tool. MIMXRT1170-EVK enter the serial download mode by changing SW1: 1-OFF,2-OFF,3-OFF,4-ON Power off and power on the board again, find another USB cable to connect the J20 USB1 interface. Then, use the MCUBootutility to connect the board: Fig 10 After connection, select the MDK project generated .hex file: Fig 11 Press the All-in-One-Action button, to download the code, this is the downloaded result: Fig 12 Press the “Reset device” button to exit the tool. Then MIMXRT1170-EVK board change SW1: 1-OFF, 2-OFF, 3-ON,4-OFF Press the EVK on board reset button, SW4, you will find the LED is blinking, it means the MDK RAM project already download to the external QSPI flash, and boot OK.

The RT1170 supports the ability to trigger dual ADC’s in SyncMode or AsyncMode via the ADC External Trigger Control (ADC_ETC): In SyncMode, ADC1 and ADC2 are controlled by the same trigger source. In AsyncMode, ADC1 and ADC2 are controlled by separate trigger source. In AsyncMode (TRIGa_CTRL[SYNC_MODE]==0), the ADC conversion clock frequency maximum is 88 MHz, but in SyncMode (TRIGa_CTRL[SYNC_MODE]==1), the ADC conversion clock frequency must be constraint to a lower frequency due to switching noise inherent to its design architecture.  Reducing the conversion clock frequency reduces the switching noise that is observed. NXP is currently conducting further characterization in order to specify the maximum frequency of conversion in SyncMode across process, voltage, and temperature.  However, on typical samples at room temperature 60 MHz is the maximum frequency.

RT1170 SBL ISP download app for remap function 1. Abstract Previously wrote a post about using the official SBL ISP method to download the APP: RT1170 SBL ISP download SDRAM APP Recently, a customer also needs to use RT1170 SBL ISP to download code, but the code app that needs to be downloaded is based on MCUXpresso IDE, which generates a bin file and can be programmed to different locations in the flash, and then use remap to run the corresponding app. Regarding remap, we can know from the SBL documentation that RT1170 can directly support it: Fig 1 Usually, if combined with SFW for SD card, cloud and other app updates, the remap function can be directly supported. Because SFW currently only supports two IDEs: IAR and MDK, and does not support MCUXPresso IDE, it is not particularly convenient for customers to use MCUXPresso to develop apps. Moreover, customers do not need to use an SD card or network cloud to update the code. SBL's ISP Updates are enough. So how to use SBL to implement the remap function of two MCUXpresso apps? For MCUXpresso App, you can use one project, so you only need to modify the content to identify different apps and burn them to different flash addresses. The specific implementation methods and steps are given below. The spatial structure of SBL, APP1, and APP2 codes is as follows: Fig 2 2. SBL operation and modification 2.1 SBL configuration and downloading Refer to the doc chapter 2.1: RT1170 SBL ISP download SDRAM APP Generate the related sbl_iar project. 2.2 SBL add remap code Opern sbl project file: sbl-master\boot\sbl_boot.c int sbl_boot_main(void) code modified like this: int sbl_boot_main(void) { char ch = 0; struct image_header br_hdr1 = { .ih_hdr_size = 0x2000 }; struct boot_rsp rsp = { .br_hdr = &br_hdr1, .br_flash_dev_id = 1, .br_image_off = 0x80000 }; int rc = 0; #ifdef CONFIG_BOOT_SIGNATURE #if defined(SOC_IMXRTYYYY_SERIES) || defined(SOC_LPC55S69_SERIES) CRYPTO_InitHardware(); #endif #endif sbl_flash_init(); #ifdef TEST_FUNCTION enable_image(Permanent_mode); #endif BOOT_LOG_INF("Bootloader Version %s", BOOTLOADER_VERSION); os_heap_init(); BOOT_LOG_INF("remap or not:Y/N\r\n\r\n"); ch = GETCHAR(); BOOT_LOG_INF("input=%c,\r\n\r\n",ch); if((ch == 'Y') || (ch == 'y')) { BOOT_LOG_INF("With remap!\r\n\r\n"); SBL_EnableRemap(BOOT_FLASH_ACT_APP, BOOT_FLASH_ACT_APP+FLASH_AREA_IMAGE_1_SIZE, FLASH_AREA_IMAGE_1_SIZE); } else if((ch == 'N') || ((ch == 'n') )) { BOOT_LOG_INF("Without remap!\r\n\r\n"); SBL_DisableRemap(); } else { BOOT_LOG_INF("Without remap!\r\n\r\n"); } #ifdef SINGLE_IMAGE rc = boot_single_go(&rsp); #else #ifdef SOC_REMAP_ENABLE rc = boot_remap_go(&rsp); #else rc = boot_go(&rsp); #endif #endif /* SINGLE_IMAGE*/ if (rc != 0) { while (1) { BOOT_LOG_ERR("Unable to find bootable image"); SDK_DelayAtLeastUs(3000000, BOARD_BOOTCLOCKRUN_CORE_CLOCK); } } BOOT_LOG_INF("Bootloader chainload address offset: 0x%x", rsp.br_image_off); BOOT_LOG_INF("Reset_Handler address offset: 0x%x", rsp.br_image_off + rsp.br_hdr->ih_hdr_size); BOOT_LOG_INF("Jumping to the image\r\n\r\n"); do_boot(&rsp); BOOT_LOG_ERR("Never should get here"); for (;;); } After modification, build the IAR SBL project, then use the debugger download the sbl to the MIMXRT1170-EVK board. 3. APP prepare Refer to doc chapter 2.2: RT1170 SBL ISP download SDRAM APP In order to know the detail app, we can use the hello_world project, and modify the code like the following: int main(void) { char ch; /* Init board hardware. */ BOARD_ConfigMPU(); BOARD_InitPins(); BOARD_BootClockRUN(); BOARD_InitDebugConsole(); PRINTF("hello world1->real addr is 0X30100000\r\n"); //app1 // PRINTF("hello world2->real addr is 0X30200000\r\n");//app2 while (1) { ch = GETCHAR(); PUTCHAR(ch); } } Use app1 printf code, to generate the hello_world1.bin，then add the secure header which match to the SBL, generate the hello_app1.bin. Use app2 printf code, to generate the hello_world2.bin，then add the secure header which match to the SBL, generate the hello_app2.bin. Now, give the details how to generate the related secure app: Open sbl-master\target\evkmimxrt1170\env.bat： Change the path to: cd ..\..\component\secure\mcuboot\scripts copy the mcuxpresso project generated bin file:hello_world1.bin and hello_world2.bin to： sbl-master\component\secure\mcuboot\scripts Use the following commander： python imgtool.py sign --key xxxx_priv.pem --align 4 --version "1.1" --header-size 0x400 --pad-header --slot-size 0x100000 --max-sectors 32 hello_world1.bin hello_app1.bin python imgtool.py sign --key xxxx_priv.pem --align 4 --version "1.1" --header-size 0x400 --pad-header --slot-size 0x100000 --max-sectors 32 hello_world2.bin hello_app2.bin to generate the hello_app1.bin, hello_app2.bin. Fig 3 3. Test result Use the MCUbootutility SBL OTA run mode, after board reset, in 5 seconds to connect the board, then burn: hello_app1.bin to 0X30100000 hello_app2.bin to 0X30200000 Fig 4 Fig 5 After downloading, exit MCUBootutility. Reset the board, in the console wait the log appear, then input ‘Y’ or ‘N’ to select which app boots: ‘Y’: remap, APP2 boot ‘N’: without remap, APP1 boot Test result is:   Fig 6 From the test result, we can see the remap function already works OK.  

RT1170 SBL ISP download SDRAM APP 1. Abstract NXP officially launched SBL and SFW for RT bootloader, which can well meet the requirements for secondary bootloader in regular use. Such as ISP, OTA, encryption and other functions. For specific SBL/SFW situations, you can view the application notes: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/MCUOTASBLSFWUG.pdf This article is mainly based on SBL and uses the ISP method to download user apps. Recently I encountered a case about RT1170 using the SBL ISP function to download APP. After configuring SBL, there is no problem in downloading simple SDK codes such as led_blinky and helloword. However, if you download the SDK GUI demo, such as vglite_examples\vector_freertos code, we find that the boot fails . The same applies to operations such as app offset, and the code size does not exceed 1MByte. However, SDK GUI demo uses SDRAM, so we speculated that it is related to SBL's SDRAM enablement. This article will explain how to use SBL ISP to download an app with SDRAM and make it boots OK. 2. Operation steps 2.1 SBL configuration and programming Firstly, Download SBL source code and unzip it： https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/sbl Download the ARM GCC and install it, here is the gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-win32.exe link: https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-rm/9-2019q4/gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2019-q4-major-win32-sha2.exe?revision=ba95cefa-1880-4932-94d4-ebf30ad3f619&rev=ba95cefa1880493294d4ebf30ad3f619&hash=B2513193FEEED9E850C62399EFF9DA04C0F0A809 The install path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools Arm Embedded\9 2019-q4-major\bin Open \sbl-master\target\evkmimxrt1170\ sblprofile.py, modify EXEC_PATH to the new installed ARM_GCC path： EXEC_PATH   = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools Arm Embedded\9 2019-q4-major\bin' This is the SBL configuration steps: (1). Open \sbl-master\target\evkmimxrt1170\ env.bat input： scons –menuconfig Fig 1 (2). Configure Single image OTA    MCU SBL core->[*]Enable single image function Fig 2 (3) Configure enable SDRAM Fig 3 Fig 4 Fig 5 After configuration, save the .config file, save and exit it. Fig 6 (4) Generate the sbl iar project In the window, input:  scons --ide=iar Then use IAR IDE to open \sbl-master\target\evkmimxrt1170\iar\sbl.eww You can see, the SDRAM DCD has been added now: Fig 7 (5) Configure the secure information Input the following command in the commander window: cd ..\..\component\secure\mcuboot\scripts Switch the commander path, then use the following command to generate the pub key and private key: python imgtool.py keygen -k xxxx_priv.pem -t rsa-2048-sign python imgtool.py getpub -k xxxx_priv.pem -o xxxx_pub.pem -t sign Fig 8 Open the file in path：sbl-master\component\secure\mcuboot\scripts\ xxxx_pub.c, copy the pub key information, and replay it to the file in path: \sbl-master\component\secure\mcuboot\sign-rsa2048-pub.c Then, it will update the SBL pub key information, now open the IAR project: \sbl-master\target\evkmimxrt1170\iar \sbl.eww Build the project, and use the debugger to download the SBL code to the MIMXRT1170-EVK board, I use the EVK on board debugger CMSIS DAP to download the sbl code.   2.2 APP configuration This document app is using the MCUXpresso IDE to import the SDK project: evkmimxrt1170_vector_freertos_cm7 Configure the flash start location to offset address:0X30100400 Fig 9 Delete the FCB and DCD header like this: Fig 10 Build the project, and generate the bin file:evkmimxrt1170_vector_freertos_cm7.bin, copy it to the SBL folder: sbl-master\component\secure\mcuboot\scripts Still in the commander window which you open the env.bat after you change the path previously: python imgtool.py sign --key xxxx_priv.pem --align 4 --version "1.1" --header-size 0x400 --pad-header --slot-size 0x100000 --max-sectors 32 evkmimxrt1170_vector_freertos_cm7.bin app2.bin This will help the app to add the header which matches the SBL requirement, and generate the app2.bin, which is the used app downloading file. 3. Test Result After the above configuration, it already downloads the SBL to the MIMXRT1170-EVK, and prepares the used app which contains the SDRAM, now use the MCUBootutility tool to download the app2.bin. Fig 11 Note, the Tools->Run Mode, should be SBL OTA mode. Find another USB cable to connect the EVK SDP J20 to the PC, after the EVK board reset, within the 5 seconds, connect the board by connection the MCUBootutility button “connect to SBL ISP”, then in the Fig 11, step 4, add the prepared app2.bin, step 3, input the address to: 0X30100000, then use step 5 to download the app. After app is downloaded, reset and exit the connection. Reset the board, wait 5 seconds, you will find the LCD can display the figure, it means the GUI code is working, and the printf log is: Fig 12 The board displays the result like this: Fig 13 At this point, the app with SDRAM has been successfully run in combination with SBL, indicating that the configuration of SBL with SDRAM is successful.
