Is it possible to replace MIMXRT1176 by MIMXRT117H ?

[sergio19]

Hi!

There is a custom PCB and custom application not related with vision or voice processing.

The PCB/application were designed for MIMXRT1176. But it is difficult to perchase this part, while MIMXRT117H  parts are available.

-------------------------

could one solder MIMXRT117H  instead of MIMXRT1176 on the board and run custom application on the CPU?

If yes:

will software develompent procedure and board bring up differ from regular procedure for MIMXRT1176 or not?

BR,

Sergey.

Hi @sergio19 ,

  Yes, you can use the RT117H to replace the RT1176.

 But, please note, the RT117H is single core, not the dual core:

You can consider the RT117F is the RT1172, but RT117F can support the NXP’s EdgeReady MCU-based solution.

Wish it helps you!

Thank you for information!

But from the table you attached and from the datasheet : MIMXRT117H is dual core, it has 1Gb Ethernet and other features similar to MIMXRT1176. Could you please repeat that HW of MIMXRT117H part defers from the HW of MIMXRT1176 (dual/single core, etc.)?

I am worried about EdgeReady sollution: does the software stack part located in the MCU affect compatibility with "bare metal" application written for MIMXRT1176?

BR,

Hi @sergio19 ,

  Sorry, you mean RT117H, not RT117F.

  Yes, RT117H is the same as RT1176, to the "bare metal" , it's totally OK.

  Please note, RT117H have more function than RT1176, so, don't worry if just bare-metal.
