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

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.

This demo code shows how to synchronize the PWM signals with another internal timer or an off-chip source. It allows you to achieve slower PWM frequencies than those that can be achieved with internal clocks as well as that multiple modules and multiple chips can be synchronized to each other. The idea is the following: The QTMR generates a PWM signal (external clock signal) which is routed through the XBAR to clocking the eFlexPWM, and at the same, the external clock signal is routed to an IO PAD in the first MCU. In a second MCU, an IO PAD is routed through the XBAR to clocking the eFlexPWM (see Figure 1).   Figure 1     The demo code (only MCU1 part so far) can me tested using the SDK for EVKB-IMXRT1050 v2.14.0. Probe the PWM signals using an oscilloscope: - At J24-1  GPIO_AD_B0_03  XBAR1_INOUT17 (QTMR PWM signal) - At J24-6  GPIO_SD_B0_00  FLEXPWM1_PWM0_A - At J24-3  GPIO_SD_B0_01  FLEXPWM1_PWM0_B Please remember weld resistors 0Ω at R280 R281.

RT1170 Boundary Scan test based on lauterbach   1. Abstract Boundary Scan is a method of testing interconnections on circuit boards or internal sub-blocks of circuits. You can also debug and observe the pin status of the integrated circuit, measure the voltage or analyze the sub-modules inside the integrated circuit, and test based on the JTAG interface. NXP officials have provided two good application notes: AN13507 (LPC) and AN12919 (RT). Based on the reference application note test method, this article provides the boundary scan test results for NXP MIMXRT1170-EVK revC1. It can use Lauterbach to connect the chip and perform boundary scan to control the external pins. A script file is also provided. It can realize one-click connection to boundary scan and achieve level control of external pins. 2. RT1170 test details   2.1 Hardware platform Lauterbach:LA3050 MIMXRT1170-EVK rev C1: The hardware modification point is to remove the onboard resistors R187, R208, R195 and R78. The purpose is that J6 prohibits external circuits from interfering with JTAG related pins. Disconnect J5, J6, J7, J8, that is, disconnect the onboard debugger, and use an external Lauterbach connection to J1. The connection situation is as follows: Fig 1 RT1170 directly supports both SWD and JTAG by default, so unlike RT10XX which needs to modify the fuse to convert from SWD to JTAG, RT1170 can directly use the JTAG interface.   2.2 Software operation Download Lauderbach's supporting software and install it. After installation, open the TRACE32 ICD Arm USB. If the Lauderbach device is connected, the interface will open successfully. Fig 2 At this time, you can enter the relevant commands in the yellow box in the picture above. Here you need to prepare the .bsdl file of the chip, which is usually placed on the chip introduction page of nxp.com. For example, the link to the bsdl file of RT1170 is: https://www.nxp.com/downloads/en/bsdl/i.MXRT1170_BDSL.bsdl You can copy the i.MXRT1170_BSDL.bsdl file to the Lauderbach installation path: C:\T32 Next, enter the following command in the window to open the boundary scan window and the i.MXRT1170_BSDL.bsdl file: SYStem.Mode Down BSDL.RESet BSDL.ParkState Select-DR-Scan BSDL.state Here, it will open the window: Fig 3 Click FILE item, input the downloaded i.MXRT1170_BSDL.bsdl, then in the window.,input the commander: BSDL.SOFTRESET Fig 4 Click check->BYPASSall,IDCODEall,SAMPLEall, make sure the 3 methods can be passed. Fig 5 Fig 6 Fig 7 To test the output control situation, it need to do the following operation: BSDLSET 1.: instructions->EXTEXT, DR mode->Set Write, Fileter data->uncheck intern BSDL.state->Run: check SetAndRun, TwoStepDR, Click RUN. BSDLSET 1. Can control the related pins, eg, GPIO_AD_26 is on the on board D34 LED. 1 ON,0 OFF. Fig 8   2.3 Automation control command script As can be seen from Section 2.2, single-step operation requires manual typing of commands. In actual testing, the efficiency is very low, so scripting language can be used to directly implement automated command control. Below, taking RT1170 as an example, we provide a script to control the on-board D34 light on and off. In this way, when the TRACE32 software is opened, you only need to open the script directly, enter the debug mode, run it to the end with one click, and check the on-board light control status. Script language file, the suffix is .cmm, step: File->New Script, enter the following script command: ;system setup SYStem.Mode Down SYStem.CPU CortexM7 SYSTEM.CONFIG.DEBUGPORTTYPE JTAG SYStem.JtagClock 1MHz ;BSDL Settings BSDL.RESet BSDL.ParkState Select-DR-Scan BSDL.state ;configure boundary scan chain BSDL.FILE i.MXRT1170_BDSL.bsdl ;Check boundary scan chain BSDL.SOFTRESET BSDL.BYPASSall BSDL.IDCODEall BSDL.SAMPLEall ;Perform Sample test BSDL.RUN BSDL.SetAndRun ON BSDL.TwoStepDR ON BSDL.SET 1. BSDL.SET 1. IR EXTEST BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_26 0 WAIT 1.s BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_26 1 WAIT 1.s BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_26 0 WAIT 1.s BSDL.SET 1. PORT GPIO_AD_26 1 WAIT 1.s BSDL.SET 1.

PORT GPIO_AD_26 1 WAIT 1.s Function, the led will be blinking 5 times, duration is 1s. Save the script, then debug it. Fig 9 This is the video for the testing:   It can be seen that the onboard light D34 can automatically flash, indicating that the BSDL automatic test has been completed so far.

RT1050 FlexIO OV7670 with TFT LCDdisplay 1 Abstract Regarding the RT10XX flexIO collecting OV7670 camera data and displaying it on TFT LCD, in fact, the NXP official website has a very good application note AN12686, but the test is based on RT1010 and not EVK. It may be difficult for actual customers to test directly. When the author was supporting customers, I encountered customers who wanted to implement flexIO on RT1050 EVK to collect parallel port OV7670 data and display it on TFT LCD, which is the LCD with SPI interface, so this article gives the specific test results of the finished product, RT1050 flexIO and There are some differences between RT1010 flexIO. RT1010 flexIO has 8 shifters, but RT1050 only has 4 shifters, so some code modifications need to be made and transplanted to RT1050. Since it is going to run on MIMXRT1050-EVKB, you also need to consider the flexIO pins that can be used, modify the EVKB, and manually weld the relevant pins to configure the corresponding camera signals and LCD display signals. This article mainly comes from problems encountered by customers during testing, so it provides specific hardware connections, software code sharing, test finished product results, etc. 2. Software and hardware prepare Since AN12686 has given the principle in great detail, this article aims to give the differences and the specific conditions of working on RT1050-EVKB. 2.1 Hardware configuration The platform is based on MIMXRT1050-EVKB revA1, OV7670 module, 2.4-inch TFT LCD LCD SPI serial touch TFT color screen ILI9321, with a resolution of 240*320.     For the OV7670 module status and pin status, please check the article:    RT1050 CSI OV7670 camera eLCD display The camera module pins are as follows: Fig 1    TFT LCD picture: Fig 2 Pin No Signal Description 1 GND Power ground 2 VCC Power 3.3V 3 CLK SPI clock 4 MOSI SPI data 5 RES LCD reset 6 DC LCD data/commander select pin 7 BLK Backlight control switch, backlight is turned on by default, low level turns off the backlight 8 MISO Touch data reading 9 CS1 Display selection pin 10 CS2 Touch selection pin 11 PEN Touch interrupt signal For LCD, this article only uses the display part and does not use the rough mold part. Considering the pin layout of MIMXRT1050-EVKB, the application note flexIO1 is not used here, but FlexIO2 is selected. The actual RT1050-EVKB and OV7670 module and LCD connection pins are given below. The connection between the LCD signal pin and the MCU MIMXRT1050-EVKB RevA1 signal pin is as follows: LCD signal and pin MIMXRT1050-EVKB revA1 signal and pin GND P1 GND J24_7 3.3V VCC P2 3.3V J24_8 CLK P3 GPIO_AD_B1_15(SPI3_CLK) R98 MOSI P4 GPIO_AD_B1_14(SPI3_MOSI) R99 RES P5 GPIO_AD_B0_02(GPIO1_IO02) J24_2 DC P6 GPIO_AD_B1_10(GPIO01_IO26) J23_1 CS1 P9 GPIO_AD_B1_12(GPIO01_IO28) R100   OV7670 signal pin and MCU MIMXRT1050-EVKB RevA1 signal pin connection situation: 0V7670 signal and pin MIMXRT1050-EVKB revA1 signal and pin OV7670_D0 P3 GPIO_B0_05(FLEXIO2_D05) SW5_1 OV7670_D1 P4 GPIO_B0_06(FLEXIO2_D06) SW5.2 OV7670_D2 P5 GPIO_B0_07(FLEXIO2_D07) SW5_3 OV7670_D3 P6 GPIO_B0_08(FLEXIO2_D08) SW5_4 OV7670_D4 P7 GPIO_B0_09(FLEXIO2_D09) SW6_1 OV7670_D5 P8 GPIO_B0_10(FLEXIO2_D10) SW7_1 OV7670_D6 P9 GPIO_B0_11(FLEXIO2_D11) SW6_2 OV7670_D7 P10 GPIO_B0_12(FLEXIO2_D12) SW6_3 XCLK P11 GPIO_B0_13(FLEXIO2_D13) SW7_2 PCLK P12 GPIO_B0_14(FLEXIO2_D14) SW6_4 HREF(HS) P13 GPIO_B0_15(FLEXIO2_D15) R258/R324 VSYNC P14 GPIO_AD_B0_03(GPIO01_03) J24_1 I2C_SDA P15 GPIO_AD_B1_01(I2C1_SDA) J23_5 I2C_SCL P16 GPIO_AD_B1_00(I2C1_SCLK) J23_6 PWDN P1 GPIO_AD_B1_02(GPIO1_IO18) J22_7 RESET P2 GPIO_AD_B1_03(GPIO1_IO19) J22_8 3.3V P18 3.3V J22_7 GND P17 GND J22_8 In order to reduce the impact of the signal, MIMXRT1050-EVKB removes R323, R316, R309, and D6 on the board. The physical connection situation is as follows: Fig 3 2.2 Software configuration Since the flexIO of RT1050 is different from the 8 shifters of RT1010, the DMA configuration needs to be modified. The difference code of flexio_ov7670 is as follows:   static FLEXIO_CAMERA_Type s_FlexioCameraDevice = { .flexioBase = BOARD_CAMERA_FLEXIO_INST, .datPinStartIdx = BOARD_CAMERA_FLEXIO_DATA_PIN_START_INDEX, .pclkPinIdx = BOARD_CAMERA_FLEXIO_PCLK_PIN_INDEX, .hrefPinIdx = BOARD_CAMERA_FLEXIO_HREF_PIN_INDEX, .shifterStartIdx = 0U, .shifterCount = 4, .timerIdx = 0U, }; static void configDMA(void) { uint32_t soff, smod = 0u, size=0u; while(1u << size < DMA_TRSF_SIZE) /* size = log2(DMA_TRSF_SIZE) */ { size++; } if(DMA_TRSF_SIZE == DMA_MINOR_LOOP_SIZE) { soff = 0u; } else { soff = DMA_TRSF_SIZE; while(1u << smod < DMA_MINOR_LOOP_SIZE) /* smod = log2(DMA_MINOR_LOOP_SIZE) */ { smod++; } } /* Configure DMA TCD */ DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].SADDR = FLEXIO_CAMERA_GetRxBufferAddress(&s_FlexioCameraDevice); DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].SOFF = soff; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].ATTR = DMA_ATTR_SMOD(smod) | DMA_ATTR_SSIZE(size) | DMA_ATTR_DMOD(0u) | DMA_ATTR_DSIZE(size); DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].NBYTES_MLNO = 16; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].SLAST = 0u; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].DADDR = (uint32_t)(*pFlexioCameraFrameBuffer); DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].DOFF = 8; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].CITER_ELINKNO = DMA_MAJOR_LOOP_SIZE; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].DLAST_SGA = -OV7670_FRAME_BYTES; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].CSR = 0u; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].CSR |= DMA_CSR_DREQ_MASK; DMA0->TCD[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN].BITER_ELINKNO = DMA_MAJOR_LOOP_SIZE; /* Configure DMA MUX Source */ DMAMUX->CHCFG[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN] = DMAMUX->CHCFG[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN] & (~DMAMUX_CHCFG_SOURCE_MASK) | DMAMUX_CHCFG_SOURCE(FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_MUX_SRC); /* Enable DMA channel. */ DMAMUX->CHCFG[FLEXIO_CAMERA_DMA_CHN] |= DMAMUX_CHCFG_ENBL_MASK; } The code structure adopts: the camera uses flexIO mode to collect DMA transfer. After collecting one frame, DMA stores the data into the buffer, and then displays one frame of data uniformly on the LCD. Since there are many configuration codes for flexIO OV7670 and LCD SPI, we will not explain them one by one here. Please check the attached code source code for details. There is a header file of horsepic.h in the code. This file is a 320*240 RGB565 picture of a horse. It is used to test the LCD display separately. Usually after connecting the LCD, you need to test the LCD display separately. You can use a fixed picture to get the display. , here is the method of converting the picture into a C array: First adjust the picture to the LCD resolution size, and then convert it through the LVGL online conversion tool, select CF_RGB565A8, but the RGB565 generated by this format will have 1 more byte each, you can do it yourself After deletion, it can be called by code: https://lvgl.io/tools/imageconverter Display horse picture code: convert8to16(); ILI9341_FillPic(0, 0, OV7670_FRAME_WIDTH-1u, OV7670_FRAME_HEIGHT-1u, (uint16_t *)(horse16)); Display result: Fig 4 3 Test result and summarize    About RT1050-EVKB, use flexIO to collect OV7670 data and display the situation through TFT LCD. Please check the video for the specific code situation. Check the attached source code. You can see from the video results that the flexIO OV7670 camera data can be successfully displayed and the code can successfully run the function.

  RT1050 CSI OV7670 camera eLCD display 1.Abstract OV7670 is a CMOS VGA image sensor with small size and low operating voltage. It is controlled by the SCCB bus and can output 8-bit image data of various resolutions with a frame rate of up to 30 frames/second and low cost. This article mainly implements the use of CSI on RT10XX to obtain OV7670 camera data, and displays it using the eLCDIF display module that comes with RT10XX. The camera and display use RGB565 format. The camera resolution configuration is QVGA 320*240, the LCD is NXP official EVKB matching LCD RK043FN02H, the resolution is 480*272, and the frame rate is 30FPS. This article is based on NXP official RT1050 SDK: SDK_2_14_0_EVKB-IMXRT1050\boards\evkbimxrt1050\driver_examples\csi\rgb565 Porting the OV7670 driver to implement the CSI method to collect OV7670 image data and display it on the LCD through the eLCDIF module   2. Principle explanation    Here is a brief explanation of relevant knowledge. 2.1 RGB565 Color mode As a basic color coding format for images, RGB565 refers to a pixel that occupies 2 bytes of data and is usually used in images and display devices. R red, G green, B blue, the actual display can obtain different other colors according to the configuration of the three primary colors. Each pixel bit can display 65536 (2^16) colors. The specific allocation is as follows:   Fig 1 From the above figure, we can know that the 2-byte data displayed in pure red, green and blue is: Red: 0xf800, Green: 0X07E0, Blue: 0X001F 2.2 OV7670 camera hardware and waveform situation The OV7670 module used is as follows: Fig 2 Pin situation No Signal Description 1 PWDN Power consumption selection mode, pull down for normal use 2 RET Reset port, pull high for normal use 3 D0 Data port output bit 0 4 D1 Data port output bit 1 5 D2 Data port output bit 2 6 D3 Data port output bit 3 7 D4 Data port output bit 4 8 D5 Data port output bit 5 9 D6 Data port output bit 6 10 D7 Data port output bit 7 11 XLK Clock signal input signal 12 PLK Pixel clock output signal 13 HS Horizontal synchronization signal output signal 14 VS Frame sync clock output signal 15 SDA SCCB Interface data control 16 SCL SCCB Interface clock control 17 GND GND 18 3.3V 3.3V power RGB565 output data timing: Fig 3 2.2 CSI frame synchronization signal timing waveform Fig 4 2.3 LCD display wave Fig 5 Therefore, the data of OV7670 is obtained through CSI and then stored in the buffer. The eLCDIF then retrieves the data from the buffer and displays it on the LCD screen to display the real-time collection and reality of the camera data. 3 Software and hardware realize    The test platform is based on NXP MIMXRT1050-EVKB revA1 version: https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/i-mx-evaluation-and-development-boards/i-mx-rt1050-evaluation-kit:MIMXRT1050-EVK LCD为:https://www.nxp.com/part/RK043FN02H-CT#/ 3.1 Hardware connection As can be seen from Figure 2, the universal module purchased is a 2.54mm direct plug mode, but the CSI interface used on the MIMXRT1050-EVKB board is an FPC interface, so an adapter board is required to switch from FPC to 2.54mm direct plug mode. The wiring diagram is as follows:    Fig 6 The actual overall hardware connection situation is as follows: Fig 7 3.2 Software prepare Regarding the SDK driver of OV7670, the RT SDK does not provide it directly, but the FRDM-K82 SDK provides relevant drivers that can be transplanted to the RT1050 SDK.       SDK version:SDK_2_14_0_EVKB-IMXRT1050\boards\evkbimxrt1050\driver_examples\csi\rgb565 The code replaces the original OV7725 code, replaces the relevant driver with the OV7670 driver, modifies the OV7670 code, matches it to the RT1050 CSI code, and adds IO signal control for OV7670 RST and PWDN. The reason for adding RST and PWDN control is that it was found Some modules, if the RST pin is not closed and delayed to open, will cause the problem of unsuccessful acquisition. However, with the addition of RST and PWDN control, currently OV7670 from different manufacturers can successfully acquire and display stably. For the specific OV7670 code, you can view the attached source code. The camera initialization code is as follows:   static void APP_InitCamera(void) { const camera_config_t cameraConfig = { .pixelFormat = kVIDEO_PixelFormatRGB565, .bytesPerPixel = APP_BPP, .resolution = FSL_VIDEO_RESOLUTION(320, 240), /* Set the camera buffer stride according to panel, so that if * camera resoution is smaller than display, it can still be shown * correct in the screen. */ .frameBufferLinePitch_Bytes = DEMO_BUFFER_WIDTH * APP_BPP, .interface = kCAMERA_InterfaceGatedClock, .controlFlags = DEMO_CAMERA_CONTROL_FLAGS, .framePerSec = 30, }; memset(s_frameBuffer, 0, sizeof(s_frameBuffer)); BOARD_InitCameraResource(); CAMERA_RECEIVER_Init(&cameraReceiver, &cameraConfig, NULL, NULL); if (kStatus_Success != CAMERA_DEVICE_Init(&cameraDevice, &cameraConfig)) { PRINTF("Camera device initialization failed\r\n"); while (1) { ; } } CAMERA_DEVICE_Start(&cameraDevice); /* Submit the empty frame buffers to buffer queue. */ for (uint32_t i = 0; i < APP_FRAME_BUFFER_COUNT; i++) { CAMERA_RECEIVER_SubmitEmptyBuffer(&cameraReceiver, (uint32_t)(s_frameBuffer[i])); } } The resolution here is QVGA 320*240, which does not match the 480*272 of the LCD, but it does not matter. In fact, the size of 320*240 is displayed in the LCD. If you want to display it to 480*272, you can also configure the size through PXP. For more code details, see the attached code package. 4. Summary This article aims to provide a demo of RT OV7670 CSI+eLCDIF acquisition and display. let’s go directly to the finished product effect video. You can see that the relative display is relatively clear, and the refresh effect is also good.

LittleFS is a file system used for microcontroller internal flash and external NOR flash. Since it is more suitable for small embedded systems than traditional FAT file systems, more and more people are using it in their projects. So in addition to NOR/NAND flash type storage devices, can LittleFS be used in SD cards? It seems that it is okay too. This article will use the littlefs_shell and sdcard_fatfs demo project in the i.mxRT1050 SDK to make a new littefs_shell project for reading and writing SD cards. This experiment uses MCUXpresso IDE v11.7, and the SDK uses version 2.13. The littleFS file system has only 4 files, of which the current version shown in lfs.h is littleFS 2.5. The first step, of course, is to add SD-related code to the littlefs_shell project. The easiest way is to import another sdcard_fatfs project and copy all of the sdmmc directories into our project. Then copy sdmmc_config.c and sdmmc_config.h in the /board directory, and fsl_usdhc.c and fsl_usdhc.h in the /drivers directory. The second step is to modify the program to include SD card detection and initialization, adding a bridge from LittleFS to SD drivers. Add the following code to littlefs_shell.c. extern sd_card_t m_sdCard; status_t sdcardWaitCardInsert(void) { BOARD_SD_Config(&m_sdCard, NULL, BOARD_SDMMC_SD_HOST_IRQ_PRIORITY, NULL); /* SD host init function */ if (SD_HostInit(&m_sdCard) != kStatus_Success) { PRINTF("\r\nSD host init fail\r\n"); return kStatus_Fail; } /* wait card insert */ if (SD_PollingCardInsert(&m_sdCard, kSD_Inserted) == kStatus_Success) { PRINTF("\r\nCard inserted.\r\n"); /* power off card */ SD_SetCardPower(&m_sdCard, false); /* power on the card */ SD_SetCardPower(&m_sdCard, true); // SdMmc_Init(); } else { PRINTF("\r\nCard detect fail.\r\n"); return kStatus_Fail; } return kStatus_Success; } status_t sd_disk_initialize() { static bool isCardInitialized = false; /* demostrate the normal flow of card re-initialization. If re-initialization is not neccessary, return RES_OK directly will be fine */ if(isCardInitialized) { SD_Deinit(&m_sdCard); } if (kStatus_Success != SD_Init(&m_sdCard)) { SD_Deinit(&m_sdCard); memset(&m_sdCard, 0U, sizeof(m_sdCard)); return kStatus_Fail; } isCardInitialized = true; return kStatus_Success; } In main(), add these code if (sdcardWaitCardInsert() != kStatus_Success) { return -1; } status = sd_disk_initialize(); Next, create two new c files, lfs_sdmmc.c and lfs_sdmmc_bridge.c. The call order is littlefs->lfs_sdmmc.c->lfs_sdmmc_bridge.c->fsl_sd.c. lfs_sdmmc.c and lfs_sdmmc_bridge.c acting as intermediate layers that can connect the LITTLEFS and SD upper layer drivers. One of the things that must be noted is the mapping of addresses. The address given by littleFS is the block address + offset address. See figure below. This is a read command issued by the ‘mount’ command. The block address refers to the address of the erased sector address in SD. The read and write operation uses the smallest read-write block address (BLOCK) of SD, as described below. Therefore, in lfs_sdmmc.c, the address given by littleFS is first converted to the byte address. Then change the SD card read-write address to the BLOCK address in lfs_sdmmc_bridge.c. Since most SD cards today exceed 4GB, the byte address requires a 64-bit variable. Finally, the most important step is littleFS parameter configuration. There is a structure LittlsFS_config in peripherals.c, which contains not only the operation functions of the SD card, but also the read and write sectors and cache size. The setup of this structure is critical. If the setting is not good, it will not only affect the performance, but also cause errors in operation. Before setting it up, let's introduce some of the general ideal of SD card and littleFS. The storage unit of the SD card is BLOCK, and both reading and writing can be carried out according to BLOCK. The size of each block can be different for different cards. For standard SD cards, the length of the block command can be set with CMD16, and the block command length is fixed at 512 bytes for SDHC cards. The SD card is erased sector by sector. The size of each sector needs to be checked in the CSD register of the SD card. If the CSD register ERASE_BLK_EN = 0, Sector is the smallest erase unit, and its unit is "block". The value of sector size is equal to the value of the SECTOR_SIZE field in the CSD register plus 1. For example, if SECTOR_SIZE is 127, then the minimum erase unit is 512*(127+1)=65536 bytes. In addition, sometimes there are doubts, many of the current SD cards actually have wear functions to reduce the loss caused by frequent erasing and writing, and extend the service life. So in fact, delete operations or read and write operations are not necessarily real physical addresses. Instead, it is mapped by the SD controller. But for the user, this mapping is transparent. So don't worry about this affecting normal operation. LittleFS is a lightweight file system that has power loss recovery and dynamic wear leveling compared to FAT systems. Once mounted, littleFS provides a complete set of POSIX-like file and directory functions, so it can be operated like a common file system. LittleFS has only 4 files in total, and it basically does not need to be modified when used. Since the NOR/NAND flash to be operated by LittleFS is essentially a block device, in order to facilitate use, LittleFS is read and written in blocks, and the underlying NOR/NAND Flash interface drivers are carried out in blocks. Let's take a look at the specific content of LittleFS configuration parameters. const struct lfs_config LittleFS_config = { .context = (void*)0, .read = lfs_sdmmc_read, .prog = lfs_sdmmc_prog, .erase = lfs_sdmmc_erase, .sync = lfs_sdmmc_sync, .read_size = 512, .prog_size = 512, .block_size = 65536, .block_count = 128, .block_cycles = 100, .cache_size = 512, .lookahead_size = LITTLEFS_LOOKAHEAD_SIZE }; Among them, the first item (.context) is not used in this project, and is used in the original project to save the offset of the file system stored in Flash. Items two (.read) through five (.sync) point to the handlers for each operation. The sixth item (.read_size) is the smallest unit of read operation. This value is roughly equal to the BLOCK size of the SD card. In the SD card driver, this size has been fixed to 512. So for convenience, it is also set to 512. The seventh item (.prog_size) is the number of bytes written each time, which is 512 bytes like .read_size. The eighth item is .block_size. This can be considered to be the smallest erase block supported by the SD card when performing an erase operation. Here the default value is not important, you need to set it in the program according to the actual value after the SD card is initialized. The card used in this experiment is 64k bytes as an erase block, so 65536 is used directly here. Item 9 (.block_count) is used to indicate how many erasable blocks there are. Multiply the .block_size to get the size of the card. If the card is replaceable, it needs to be determined according to the parameters after the SD card is initialized. The tenth item (.block_cycles) is the number of erase cycles per block. Item 11 (.cache_size) is about the cache buffer. It feels like bigger is better, but actually modifies this value won't work. So still 512. Item 12 (lookahead_size), littleFS uses a lookahead buffer to manage and allocate blocks. A lookahead buffer is a fixed-size bitmap that records information about block allocations within an area. The lookahead buffer only records the information of block allocations in one area, and when you need to know the allocation of other regions, you need to scan the file system to find allocated blocks. If there are no free blocks in the lookahead buffer, you need to move the lookahead buffer to find other free blocks in the file system. The lookahead buffer position shifts one lookahead_size at a time. Use the original value here.  That’s all for the porting work. We can test the project now. You can see it works fine. The littleFS-SD project can read/write/create folder and erase. And it also support append to an exist file. But after more testing, a problem was found, if you repeatedly add->-close->-add-> close a file, the file will open more and more slowly, even taking a few seconds. This is what should be added and is not written directly in the last block of the file, but will apply for a new block, regardless of whether the previous block is full or not. See figure below. The figure above prints out all the read, write, and erase operations used in each write command. You can see that each time in the lfs_file_open there is one more read than the last write operation. In this way, after dozens or hundreds of cycles, a file will involve many blocks. It is very time-consuming to read these blocks in turn. Tests found that more than 100 read took longer than seconds. To speed things up, it is recommended to copy the contents of one file to another file after adding it dozens of times. In this way, the scattered content will be consolidated to write a small number of blocks. This can greatly speed up reading and writing.

RT10XX RT-UFL modification for QSPI QE and DQS factor 1. Abstract Recently, a customer used a QSPI flash (Puya simi P25Q16H) as XIP memory in the RT1050 project, but always encountered the phenomenon that the first time download failed, the download succeeded again after powering on again, and the app could run. To the program algorithm, they use the RT-UFL. After analysis, this situation is usually related to the fact that the QE of the new QSPI flash is not enabled. Therefore, based on the QE position of the QSPI flash used by the customer, the author specially enabled the corresponding QE in the SDK flexspi_nor_polling_transfer code, let the customer try to run it in RAM to check whether still have the program issues after enabling QE in the new QSPI flash. However, the customer even can’t run flexspi_nor_polling_transfer project. According to the customer's previous description, the hardware can run RAM code, and the first flash download does not work, but it can run after re-downloading, so the hardware works. Based on the phenomenon, it is initially speculated that the new problem may be related to FlexSPI DQS being occupied. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to leave FlexSPI DQS floating. Because the project flexSPI frequency given to customers is 120Mhz, if DQS is used, the internal sampling clock source of FlexSPI read data is: Read strobe provided by memory device and input from DQS pad. This method will have problems. So asked the customer to confirm the hardware again. The result is DQS is used as a control pin for other circuits on the customer's board. Usually there are two points to note in this situation: First, the FlexSPI clock is controlled within 60MHz. Second, the internal sampling clock source configuration of FlexSPI read data is: Dummy read strobe generated by FlexSPI controller and looped back internally (FlexSPIn_MCR0[RXCLKSRC] = 0x0)      Therefore, this article focuses on how to prepare the test code for the corresponding QE position based on the QSPI flash used by the customer, consider the operation when DQS is enabled, modify and test the RT-UFL downloading algorithm. 2. Hardware and software prepare To reproduce the customer issues, need to prepare the related software, hardware, and the flash programming flashdriver, and the code for testing the QE situation. 2.1 Hardware prepare MIMXRT1050-EVKB, modify the on board resistor, from the default hyperflash to QSPI flash. The modification points: USE QSPI FLASH(Mount R153~R158, DNP R356,R361~R366)。 Remove the on board U33 ISSI QSPI flash, burn the new QSPI flash with customer used Puya simi P25Q16H. Customer is using JLINK, so prepare JLINK plus for downloading. 2.2 flexspi_nor_polling_transfer software prepare SDK2.14.0 code:flexspi_nor_polling_transfer, used to test the QE situation. App project: led_blinky RT-UFL program algorithm code: https://github.com/JayHeng/RT-UFL JLINK driver: used JLINKV768B, higher version is also OK. 2.2.1 P25Q16H QE position Fig 1    We can see, it is still the typical Status register bit 9. The related LUT write and read commander is: Fig 2 We can see that for writing, it is command 0X01, and 2 consecutive bytes need to be written. But for the read command, the commands for the two status register bytes are separate. So you need to pay attention to this when operating the QE bit. 2.2.2 flexspi_nor_polling_transfer code prepare This code is mainly used to test the QE enablement and disabling, and the erase, write and read functions of external flash. The code modification points include: modifying the LUT command to comply with P25Q16H; adding QE read, write and erase functions; modifying the frequency of flexSPI and the situation of DQS loopback internal. The relevant code is as follows: LUT related commander: flexspi_nor_polling_transfer.c const uint32_t customLUT[CUSTOM_LUT_LENGTH] = { /* 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), /* 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), /* Fast read quad mode - SDR */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST_QUAD] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0xEB, kFLEXSPI_Command_RADDR_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x18), [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READ_FAST_QUAD + 1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ( kFLEXSPI_Command_DUMMY_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x06, kFLEXSPI_Command_READ_SDR, kFLEXSPI_4PAD, 0x04), /* 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),//0xD7 /* 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), /* Read status register */ [4 * NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_READSTATUSREG1] = FLEXSPI_LUT_SEQ(kFLEXSPI_Command_SDR, kFLEXSPI_1PAD, 0x35, 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),//0xC7 }; flexspi_nor_flash_ops.c: QE read and write status_t flexspi_nor_enable_quad_mode(FLEXSPI_Type *base) { flexspi_transfer_t flashXfer; status_t status; uint32_t writeValue = FLASH_QUAD_ENABLE; #if defined(CACHE_MAINTAIN) && CACHE_MAINTAIN flexspi_cache_status_t cacheStatus; flexspi_nor_disable_cache(&cacheStatus); #endif /* Write enable */ status = flexspi_nor_write_enable(base, 0); if (status != kStatus_Success) { return status; } /* Enable quad mode. */ flashXfer.deviceAddress = 0; flashXfer.port = FLASH_PORT; flashXfer.cmdType = kFLEXSPI_Write; flashXfer.SeqNumber = 1; flashXfer.seqIndex = NOR_CMD_LUT_SEQ_IDX_WRITESTATUSREG; flashXfer.data = &writeValue; flashXfer.dataSize = writeValue <= 0xFFU ?

It is read as 2 here which QE is enabled for the first time, because the QSPI in this article has been operated previously. If it is a new chip, it will read 0 by default, which means that QE is not enabled. And it can be seen that after modification, it can accurately erase, program, and read external flash, indicating that the current code modification is successful. LUT, QE position, DQS consideration (60Mhz+loopback internal) are all working. 2.3 APP prepare Use the led_blinky code in the SDK to mainly modify the frequency of FCB and readSampleClkSrc. evkbimxrt1050_flexspi_nor_config.c is modified as follows:    const flexspi_nor_config_t qspiflash_config = { .memConfig = { .tag = FLEXSPI_CFG_BLK_TAG, .version = FLEXSPI_CFG_BLK_VERSION, .readSampleClksrc=kFlexSPIReadSampleClk_LoopbackInternally, .csHoldTime = 3u, .csSetupTime = 3u, .controllerMiscOption = (1u << kFlexSpiMiscOffset_SafeConfigFreqEnable), .deviceType = kFlexSpiDeviceType_SerialNOR, .sflashPadType = kSerialFlash_4Pads, .serialClkFreq = kFlexSpiSerialClk_60MHz, .sflashA1Size = 8u * 1024u * 1024u, … }   This code will be used to test the new modified program flashdriver in debug mode, compile the project, generate the .srec, used for the JFLASH method flash program.   3. RT-UFL JLINK flash algorithm modification After downloading the super download algorithm RT-UFL, you need to modify the super download algorithm based on the two factors mentioned above: First, QE is enabled; second, DQS is used. For the solution in this article, RT-UFL still uses option ROM to initialize flexSPI.

The test is as follows:   Fig 8 JFlash test result is: Fig 9 We can see, use the Jflash with new flashdriver, can program the flash successfully. 3.3.2 led_blinky app debug test Disable the QE bit, to simulate the new QSPI flash chip, the test as Fig 8. APP demo use the IAR project(customer use it), option select JLINK: Fig 10 Fig 11 It should be noted here that the device is selected as the modified super download algorithm device name. The method is as follows. The settings->xxx.jlink generated by IAR debug is modified as follows: Fig 12 Two points: override =1, and device is the new modified algorithm device name. Debug test result: Fig 13 We can see that the algorithm can be successfully debugged and the algorithm is also modified by UFL. Run it at full speed and you can see the on board LED is flashing. It means that all flash driver algorithms, hardware, and codes already support the new P25Q16H QSPI flash. 4. Summary When using a new QSPI flash, first need to pay attention to the position of QE and whether DQS is used, and then prepare the corresponding RT-UFL programming algorithm. The UFL algorithm can usually support most flash chips by default. When QE and DQS are used, they only need to fine-tune the algorithm to support the new QSPI flash. Therefore, this article has successfully solved the problem of burning customer projects after modifying the algorithm. For other QSPI flash, you can also use the method in this article to modify the burning algorithm accordingly to ensure that it meets your own project needs.

RT1170 AVB fresh tasting 1 Abstract AVB (Audio Video Bridging) is the audio and video bridging technology. AVB is also a time-sensitive network. It is mainly used to solve audio and video transmission problems within the local area network: delay problems and synchronization problems. AVB consists of a series of IEEE standards aimed at efficiently transmitting audio and video data in a local area network. The protocol of AVB is as follows: Fig 1 AVB is mainly a link layer protocol and coexists with the traditional TCP/IP protocol.     AVB related protocols include: gPTP (IEEE 802.1AS-2020): Precision time synchronization protocol AVTP (IEEE 1722-2016): Audio and video transmission protocol FQTSS (IEEE 802.1Q-2018, section 34): Credit Based Shaper protocol SRP (IEEE 802.1Q-2018, section 35) :Stream Reservation Protocol AVDECC (IEEE 1722.1-2013): Audio and video management protocol EST (IEEE 802.1Qbv-2015) FP (IEEE 802.3br-2016/IEEE 802.1Qbu-2016) The topology diagram of AVB is as follows: Fig 2 End Station:Listener andTalker Listener: Node that accepts audio and video data Talker: Node that outputs audio and video data AV Bridge:AVB bridge The purpose of this article is not to talk about the AVB protocol. As a first-time experience of AVB with RT1170, it mainly explains how to use the officially provided AVB/TSN protocol stack to implement the AVB audio data transmission function on the NXP MIMXRT1170-EVK board.。 2 .RT1170 AVB testing 2.1 Hardware prepare    2*MIMXRT1170-EVK REV C4,one is Talker,another is Listener.    Pin modification: remove R228, R234, R232, R229 resistor    Board default configuration:      J27:1-2      J5,J6,J7,J8:short connect      J38:5-6      SW1: 1-OFF,2-OFF,3-ON,4-OFF      SW2: 1-OFF,2-OFF,3-OFF,4-OFF,5-OFF,6-OFF,7-OFF,8-OFF,9-OFF,10-OFF      J11: code downloading and vcom port      J4  : 1G ENET, used for AVB communication Fig 3   2.2 Software tool prepare 2.2.1 Related code SDK_2_13_0_MIMXRT1170-EVK: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/builder?hw=MIMXRT1170-EVK&rel=667 Download the corresponding SDK according to the system which you need to use (windows/linux).

Commander: ./build_release.sh Fig 13 Result: Fig 14 We can see, the avb_app.bin already be generated. File path: /home/nxa07323/avbdoc/genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_13_0-5_6_0/genavb-apps-freertos-5_6_0/boards/evkmimxrt1170/demo_apps/avb_tsn/avb_audio_app/armgcc/release Open avb_app.bin file: Fig 15     We can see, the generated bin file’s RT1170 QSPI FCB. 2.4 Code programming 2.4.1 MSD downloading method     By referring the doc: genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_13_0-5_6_0\doc\NXP_GenAVB_TSN_Stack_FreeRTOS_Eval_User_s_Guide-5_6_rev0.pdf. It is recommended to use the MSD method and directly copy app_avb.bin to the MSD of EVK. However, in the actual test, since there is no information for successful burning progress after copying, it is easy to cause problems. For example, after copying the bin file to the MSD disk (it seems that the copy has been completed), reset or power off the board, but the burning has not actually been completed. At this time, there will be a problem that the code has not been successfully burned, and AVB cannot be successfully run. Therefore, if you use the MSD method, after copying to the MSD, it is best to wait for a period of time to ensure that the code is successfully burned, such as 30s. Fig 16 However, after many tests, the MSD method cannot perform chip mass erase. For example, some filesystem configurations of AVB have been made, but the code needs to be re-downloaded for reconfiguration. It is found that even if app_avb.bin is burned again, the previous AVB configuration is still exists, so if you need a new system file configuration, it is recommended to perform a full chip erase first and then use this method to burn, or directly use the serial download mode to burn.     In addition, some customers may update EVK's opensda version, and sometimes the updated opensda may not have MSD. In this way, it is also recommended to use the following serial download MCUBootutility method to burn.    2.4.2 MCUBootutility downloading method At first, EVK enter the serial download mode: SW1:1-OFF,2-OFF,3-OFF,4-ON Use two USB cables to connect the J11 and J20 SDP, then power off and power on the board or reset the board to enter the serial download mode. MCUBootutility tool download link: https://github.com/JayHeng/NXP-MCUBootUtility/releases/tag/v5.3.0 Tool related document: https://github.com/JayHeng/NXP-MCUBootUtility   Use the generated avb_app.bin file, and burn it to the MIMXRT1170-EVK board: Fig 17 It should be noted here that from Figure 15 you can see that the bin file stores the FCB starting from 0, but for the MIMXRT1170 chip, the FCB storage is offset by 0X400, so the burning position of avb_app.bin needs to start from 0X30000400. Follow the 7-steps in Figure 17 to burn the bin file. After burning in this way, change SW1 of EVK to: 1-OFF, 2-OFF, 3-ON, 4-OFF, which is the internal boot mode.   AVB testing requires two MIMXRT1170-EVK development boards. The codes burned on the two boards are the same, avb_app.bin is burned in both.   After restarting and testing, you will find that the old filesystem has also been cleared. At this time, you can configure a new system file again.     2.5 talker listener configuration   Two MIMXRT1170-EVK board, one as AVB Talker, another as AVB Listener. Because the programmed app is the same, then just need to use the filesystem to configure which EVK is talker, which is listener.   This document use 2 EVK, and with the back-to-back method, the connection is: Fig 18 Talker: collect the Mic audio data, then transfer to the Listener through the AVB network Listener:receive the talker audio data, play the talker mic audio data through Audio Out J33 2.5.1 Talker filesystem configuration Talker related configuration commander is: ---------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------- The description for the talker configuration: avb_app/mclock_role=0, Media Clock Master. avdecc/btb_mode=0, avdecc back-to-back mode fgptp/gmCapable=1,gPTP grand master port0/hw_addr=00:22:33:44:55:66, configure the hardware address For hw_addr, it should be noted that the first byte must be 00. The author previously configured it as 11, but the communication was always unsuccessful. Through EVK's J11 serial port configuration, after powering on, you can see that the terminal prints a lot of data. First, you need to enter the shell and press the ISERT key. At this time, the terminal will appear >>. For specific shell commands, you can view the documentation: NXP_GenAVB_TSN_Stack_FreeRTOS_Eval_User_s_Guide-5_6_rev0.pdf, Chapter 6.1.1 Filesystem commands. The mainly used commander is: write: write a file with a given string cat: print the content of a file ls: list all files and directories in the current directory rm: remove a file or a directory (if it is empty) cd: change directory pwd: print working directory mkdir: create a directory The following picture is for the shell entry and the file system configuration: Fig 19  According to the Talker command mentioned above, configure the talker file system: Fig 20   Until now, the talker filesystem is configured. 2.5.2 Listener filesystem configuration   Listener related commander is: ------------------------------- cd .. ls mkdir avb_app write avb_app/mclock_role 1 mkdir avdecc write avdecc/btb_mode 1 write avdecc/talker_id 0x00049f4455660000 ------------------------------------------ The description for the listener configuration: avb_app/mclock_role =1, Media Clock Slave. avdecc/btb_mode=1, avdecc fast-connect back-to-back mode avdecc/talker_id =0x00049f4455660000,for fast connect mode configure the talker entity id。 Entity id configuration rule is: eui[0] = 0x00; eui[1] = 0x04; eui[2] = 0x9f; eui[3] = mac_addr[3]; eui[4] = mac_addr[4]; eui[5] = mac_addr[5]; eui[6] = 0x00; eui[7] = 0x00; mac_addr is determined by the hw_addr, eg, talker configure the hw_addr to: 00:22:33:44:55:66, this is the mac_addr[0-5] Then talker_id: eui[0] = 0x00; eui[1] = 0x04; eui[2] = 0x9f; eui[3] = mac_addr[3]=44; eui[4] = mac_addr[4]=55; eui[5] = mac_addr[5]=66; eui[6] = 0x00; eui[7] = 0x00; talker_id =0x00049f4455660000。 Next, configure the Listener file system: Press the computer's insert button to enter shell mode, and then do the filesystem configuration commander input: Fig 21   Until now, the Listener filesystem configuration is finished. 2.6 Test Result Let's start the connection test. Find a network cable to connect two MIMXRT1170-EVK boards, which is the 1G network port J4 of the Talker and the listener. Listener's J33 is inserted into the earphone to listen to the microphone audio data sent from the talker board. Connection picture is as follows: Fig 22 The test result is, when two board power on, after the short time sync, the audio sound collected from the Talker microphone can be heard in the Listener's headphones, indicating that the RT1170 AVB communication is working. Partial log diagrams are given below. The complete logs of talker and listener can be viewed in the attachment. Fig 23 Fig 24 Fig 25 Fig 26 3.Summarization After several testing, we can realize the RT1170 AVB audio transfer function. If the customer don’t want to build the project, just want to do the simple testing, they also can use the AVB/TSN stack’s generated bin file, the path is: \genavb_tsn-mcuxpresso-SDK_2_13_0-5_6_0\binaries\genavb-avb_audio_app-evaluation-freertos_rt1176-5_6_0.tar\genavb-avb_audio_app-evaluation-freertos_rt1176-5_6_0\release\ avb_app.bin This document is just the AVB tasting, for the deeper knowledge, will learn and share it later. Meet issues during the testing: 1). The cmake install during the linux build, which can be found from chapter 2.2.2 Related software tool 2). The printf log is messing, in Tera Term, use the 115200 baudrate to printf, the default printf log is miss order, it is difficult to the detail content, just like this: Fig 27 Solution: Fig 28 Fig 29 After the above configuration, we can see the log is in order. 3). Board programming, at first use the MSD to download the code, but didn’t wait the 30s, then do the power off or the reset, it always causes MSD burning failure, and the generated avb_app.bin , didn’t find the FCB location is not do the 0x400 offset when use the mcubootutility, It also meet issues. So when use the mcubootutility, need to burn from 0x30000400, please refer to chapter 2.4 Code programming 4). Talker filesystem configuration for port0/hw_addr, the first bytes should be 0X00, if none 0, it will have the AVB communication issues, after modify the first byte to the 0X00 in hw_addr, the issue is solved.

MIMXRT1170-EVKB jumper locations   Using external J-Link debug probe Segger offers several J-Link probe options.  To use one of these probes with these EVKs, configure the EVK with these settings: Install a jumper on JP5, to disconnect the SWD signals from the onboard debug circuit.  This jumper is open by default. Power the EVK: the default option is connecting the power supply to barrel jack J43, and setting power switch SW5 to On position (3-6).  The green LED D16 next to SW5 will be lit when the EVK is properly powered. Connect the J-Link probe to J1, 20-pin dual-row 0.1" header.   Using onboard MCU-Link with J-Link firmware Install the MCU-Link Installer for the drivers and firmware update tool Disconnect any USB cables from the EVK Power the EVK: the default option is connecting the power supply to barrel jack J43, and setting power switch SW5 to On position (3-6).  The green LED D16 next to SW5 will be lit when the EVK is properly powered. Install a jumper at JP3 to force the MCU-Link in ISP mode Connect a USB cable to J86, to the MCU-Link debugger Go to the scripts directory in the MCU-Link software package installation and run the program_JLINK.cmd (Windows) or program_JLINK (Linux/MacOS) script by double-clicking it. Follow the onscreen instructions.  In Windows, this script is typically installed at C:\nxp\MCU-LINK_installer_3.122\scripts\program_JLINK.cmd Unplug the USB cable at J86 Remove the jumper at JP3 Plug the USB cable back in to J86.  Now the MCU-Link debugger should boot as a JLink. Remove jumper JP5, to connect the SWD signals from the MCU-Link debugger.  This jumper is open by default.

RT Linux SDK build based on Ubuntu 1. Abstract The SDK of NXP MIMXRT products can support three operation systems: windows, Linux, and macOS. Usually, the vast majority of users use the windows version combined with IDE compilation, and the documentation is relatively complete. However, for the Linux version, although the SDK is downloaded, it also contains documents, but the documents are the same as those of windows, not for Linux. Therefore, when a small number of customers use Ubuntu Linux to compile, they suffer from no documentation reference, especially for novices, it is difficult to use.      This article will implement the build of RT1060 linux version SDK based on Ubuntu. 2. Tool preparation You need to prepare a computer with Ubuntu system. Windows can install a virtual machine with Ubuntu system. This article uses the Ubuntu system of the web server. Tools required for testing: Ubuntu system cmake ARMGCC: ARGCC for ARM Cortex M core SDK: SDK_2_13_1_EVK-MIMXRT1060_linux.zip EVK: MIMXRT1060-EVK This article takes MIMXRT1060-EVK SDK as an example, and the situation of other RT development boards with Linux SDK is the same. 2.1 SDK downloading     Download link: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/builder?hw=EVK-MIMXRT1060 Fig 1 Download the SDK code, named as: SDK_2_13_1_EVK-MIMXRT1060_linux.zip If you download it under Windows, you need to copy the SDK to the Ubuntu system. Here you can use FileZilla or MobaXterm to transfer the file. Because I use the web server Ubuntu, it is based on MobaXterm. This software is free to use, and the download link is: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ Put the downloaded SDK into the Ubuntu folder, in MobaXterm, drag the file can realize the file transfer from Windows to Ubuntu: Fig 2 Unzip SDK, the commander is: unzip SDK_2_13_1_EVK-MIMXRT1060_linux.zip -d ./SDK_2_13_1_EVK-MIMXRT1060_linux Fig 3 Fig 4 It can be seen that the SDK has been successfully unzipped to the SDK_2_13_1_EVK-MIMXRT1060_linux folder. At this point, the Linux SDK is ready to use. 2.2 ARMGCC install and configuration Download ARMGCC, as you can see from the release note of the SDK, the supported GCC Arm Embedded version: GCC Arm Embedded, version is 10.3-2021.10   Download link:https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm Download the file: gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2  Copy it to the Ubuntu, and unzip it, the unzip commander is: tar -xjvf gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 Fig 5 Fig 6 You can see that ARMGCC has been decompressed. Configure the environment variables below and add ARMGCC_DIR to /etc/profile: Add the path at the end of the profile to save and exit: export ARMGCC_DIR=/home/nxa07323/rtdoc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/ export PATH=$PATH:/home/nxa07323/rtdoc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/bin/ Fig 7 Valid profile, and check the ARMGCC_DIR is really valid. source /etc/profile echo $ARMGCC_DIR Fig 8 Until now, ARMGCC is ready to use! 2.3 cmake download and install Build also need the cmake tool, so use the following command to install cmake and check whether the installation is successful: sudo apt-get install cmake cmake –version Fig 9 Cmake is also ready! 3. Testing All the tools are ready, let’s start compiling the code, here we take hello_world as an example to compile an executable file downloaded to Flash. 3.1 Executable file Compilation Enter the hello_world gcc path of the SDK: Fig10 It can be seen that there are many files under the armgcc folder, which are compilable files that generate different images: build_debug,build_release:the linker file is RAM linker, where text and data section is put in internal TCM. build_flexspi_nor_debug, build_flexspi_nor_release: The linker file is flexspi_nor linker, where text is put in flash and data put in TCM. build_flexspi_nor_sdram_debug, build_flexspi_nor_sdram_release: The linker file is flexspi_nor_sdram linker, where text is put in flash and data put in SDRAM. build_sdram_debug, build_sdram_release: The linker file is SDRAM linker, where text is put in internal TCM and data put in SDRAM. build_sdram_txt_debug, build_sdram_txt_release: The linker file is SDRAM_txt linker, where text is put in SDRAM and data put in OCRAM. Now, compile build_flexspi_nor_debug.sh, this script will generate flash .elf file, the command is: ./build_flexspi_nor_debug.sh Fig 11 The compiled .elf is placed in the flexspi_nor_debug folder: Fig 12 Convert the hello_world.elf file to hex and bin for the RT board burning, conversion command is: arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex hello_world.elf hello_world.hex arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary hello_world.elf hello_world.bin Fig 13 3.2 Code Downloading Test The generated files hello_world.hex and hello_world.bin are the executable files, which can be downloaded to the EVK board through MSD, serial downloader, or debugger software. Open the bin file to view: Fig 14 As you can see, this file is an app executable file with FCB. Here use the MCUbootUtility tool to download, and the EVK board enters the serial download mode: SW7 1-OFF, 2-OFF, 3-OFF, 4-ON Fig 15 After the downloading is finished, EVK board enter the internal boot mode: SW7 1-OFF,2-OFF,3-ON,4-OFF Fig 16 We can see, the printf works, it means the Ubuntu Linux build the file works OK. 3.3 Code configuration Some customers may think that the executable files to be loaded by some of our tools do not need FCB, so how to realize to generate the app without FCB Linux, here we need to modify the flags.cmake file, the path is:     /home/nxa07323/rtdoc/SDK_2_13_1_EVK-MIMXRT1060_linux/boards/evkmimxrt1060/demo_apps/hello_world/armgcc Configure BOOT_HEADER_ENABLE=0: Default is BOOT_HEADER_ENABLE=1(Fig 17), modified to Fig 18: Fig 17                              Fig18 Build again, to generate the .bin, check the .bin file: Fig 19 We can see that this file is a pure app file that does not contain FCB+IVT. It can be used in occasions that do not require FCB. Until now, the RT1060 Linux version of the SDK can be compiled to generate an executable file under Ubuntu, and the function is normal after the function test.

1.Introduction Recently, some customers need the RT1170 LWIP socket client, so this post is mainly share the socket client code which is based on the RT1170 SDK, it is just a simple demo, which also give the test result based on the NXP official EVKB board. 2. Code modification Platform: MIMXRT1170-EVKB SDK_2_13_1_MIMXRT1170-EVKB MCUXpresso IDE v11.7.1 Code is based on the SDK project : lwip_ping_freertos_cm7. This project already add the socket related file, so the modification is simple, just need to add the socket related header file and the app function. The modification is: Add socket server IP address, port, and the message which want to sendout. #define INIT_THREAD_STACKSIZE 1024 /*! @brief Priority of the temporary lwIP initialization thread. */ #define INIT_THREAD_PRIO DEFAULT_THREAD_PRIO #define HOST_NAME "192.168.0.100" #define BUF_LEN 100 uint8_t senddata[]= "Socket client test"; #define PORT 54321 #define IP_ADDR "192.168.0.100" Comment the ping code calling in stack_init API. //  ping_init(&netif_gw); Add the socket client thread: sys_thread_new("socketclient", socketclient_thread, NULL, DEFAULT_THREAD_STACKSIZE, DEFAULT_THREAD_PRIO); The thread code is: static void socketclient_thread(void *arg) { int sock = -1,rece; struct sockaddr_in client_addr; char* host_ip; ip4_addr_t dns_ip; err_t err; uint32_t *pSDRAM= pvPortMalloc(BUF_LEN);// host_ip = HOST_NAME ; PRINTF("host name : %s , host_ip : %s\r\n",HOST_NAME,host_ip); // while(1) // { PRINTF("Start server Connect !\r\n"); // create connection sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if (sock < 0) { PRINTF("Socket error\n"); vTaskDelay(10); // continue; } client_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; client_addr.sin_port = htons(PORT); client_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(host_ip); memset(&(client_addr.sin_zero), 0, sizeof(client_addr.sin_zero)); if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&client_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr)) == -1) { PRINTF("Connect failed!\r\n"); closesocket(sock); vTaskDelay(10); // continue; } PRINTF("Connect to server successful!\r\n"); // PRINTF("\r\n************************************************************\n\r"); // PRINTF("\r\n Begin write\n\r"); write(sock,senddata,sizeof(senddata)); while (1) { //receive data rece = recv(sock, (uint8_t*)pSDRAM, BUF_LEN, 0);//BUF_LEN if (rece <= 0) break; PRINTF("recv %d len data\r\n",rece); PRINTF("%.*s\r\n",rece,(uint8_t*)pSDRAM); write(sock,pSDRAM,rece); } //rec data process memset(pSDRAM,0,BUF_LEN); closesocket(sock); vTaskDelay(10000);//about 10s //10000 // } }   3. Test Result Firstly, use the PC to configure the ENET IP for the server:     192.168.0.100   After configuration, customer can use the TCP test tool, eg:USR-TCP232-Test, which is configured to the TCP server, local IP is:192.168.0.100, host port is:54321, then enter the listen mode:   After the code download to the MIMXRT1170-EVKB, and run it, we can see, the server can detect the connected client IP:192.168/0.102, after the client connect to the server, it will send out the message: “socket client test”, then the server can send out the message to the client, the client will use the UART printf it, also loop back to the server again. This is the test result video: Code attached:evkbmimxrt1170_lwip_socket_client_freertos_cm7.7z

RT106X secure JTAG test and IDE debug 1 Introduction     Regarding the usage of RT10XX Secure JTAG, the nxp.com has already released a very good application note AN12419 Secure JTAG for i.MXRT10xx: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN12419.pdf This application note talks about the principle of Secure JTAG, how to modify the fuse to implement the Secure JTAG function, and the content of the related JLINKscript file, and then gives the use of JLINK commander to realize the identification of the ARM core. Usually, if the ARM core can be identified, it indicates that Secure JTAG connection has been passed. But in practical usage, I found many customers encounter the different issues, for example, the Secure JTAG could not find the ARM core directly, or the core identify is not stable, and some customers asked how to use common IDEs, such as MCUXPresso, IAR , MDK to add this Secure JTAG function to realize  Secure JTAG debugging.   For the test of secure JTAG, it also needs the cost, because the fuse needs to be modified. If the position of the fuse is accidentally modified, it may cause irreversible problems. Due to the different situations of customers, I also done more tests, borrowing boards with chip socket which can replace the different RT chip, I have tested RT1050, RT1060, RT1064, but in practical usage, there are still some customers mentioned that it will be reproduced on the EVK, so I also tested the secure JTAG function on the RT1060 and RT1064 EVK     This article will share all the previous relevant experience, so that latecomers can have a reference when encountering similar problems, and avoid unnecessary minefields. This document used the platform: MIMXRT1064-EVK revA: RT1060-EVK, RT1050-EVKB is similar SDK_2_13_0_EVK-MIMXRT1064 MCUXpresso IDE v11.7.1_9221 MDK V5.36: higher reversion is the same IAR 9.30.1: higher reversion is the same Segger JLINK plus JLINK driver version:V788D NXP-MCUBootUtility-5.1.0 2 RT1064 secure JTAG modification Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended for customers to burn all the related fuses directly and then test it directly. I usually proceeds step by step, hardware layout, to ensure that it can support JTAG, and then save the original read of the fuse, burn JTAG, test JTAG, and finally Burn and test other fuses for secure JTAG.    2.1 MIMXRT1064-EVK Hardware modification For RT10XX EVK, the board default situation is the same as the chip situation, which supports SWD. The JTAG pin is connected to other hardware modules from the hardware, so it will affect JTAG function. When it is determined to use JTAG function, the circuit needs to be modified, just like MIMXRT105060HDUG has said:    (1). Burn fuse DAP_SJC_SWD_SEL from ‘0’ to ‘1’ to choose JTAG. (2). DNP R323,R309,R152 to isolate JTAG multiplexed signals. (3). Keep off J47 to J50 to isolate board level debugger.     So, to the MIMXRT1064-EVK board, just need to remove R323, R309, R152, disconnect J47,J48,J49,J50, which is used to disconnect the on board debugger, then use the external Segger JLINK JTAG interface to connect the MIMXRT1064-EVK on board J21. 2.2 Original fuse map read First, the MIMXRT1064-EVK board enters the serial download mode, SW7: 1-OFF, 2-OFF, 3-OFF, 4-ON. Use MCUBootUtility tool to connect EVK, and read the initial fuse map, the situation is as follows:     Fig 1 2.3 JTAG Modification and test    Modify fuse to realize SWD to JTAG: 0X460[19] DAP_SJC_SWD_SEL=1   Fig 2     Use the JLINK commander, JTAG method to connect the board, to find the ARM CM7 core: Fig 3     If the ARM CM7 core can’t be identified, it means the hardware still have issues, or the fuse modified bit is not correct, just do the double check, make sure the ARM core can be found, then go to the next steps. 2.4 Secure JTAG Modification     Modify fuse bit to realize Secure JTAG:     0X460[23:22]:JTAG_SMODE =1     0X460[26]: KTE_FUSE=1     0X610,0X600 burn key: 0xedcba987654321, user also can burn with other custom keys, but need to record it, as the JLINKScript needs to use it.   Fig 4 In the above picture, the secure JTAG fuse and key fuse is finished, at last, to burn fuse 0X400[6]: SJC_RESP_LOCK=1, which is used to close the write and read to secret response key: Fig 5 Here, we can see, the 0X600,0X610 key area is shadow. Now, record the UUID0, UUID1, it will use the script to read out to check the UUID correction or not. 2.5 Secure JTAG JLINK commander test Because during the secure JTAG connection process, the JTAG_MOD pin needs to be pulled low and high, so a wire needs to be connected to pull JTAG_MOD low and high. MIMXRT1064-EVK can use J25_4, which is 3.3V, and JTAG_MOD signal point can use TP11 test point. By default, JTAG_MOD is pulled low. When it needs to be pulled high, it can be connected to J25_4.         During the test, it will need to use the JLINKScript, the content is as follows, also can check  the attached NXP_RT1064_SecureJTAG.JlinkScript file: int InitTarget(void) { int r; int v; int Key0; int Key1; JLINK_SYS_Report("***********************************************"); JLINK_SYS_Report("J-Link script: InitTarget() *"); JLINK_SYS_Report("NXP iMXRT, Enable Secure JTAG *"); JLINK_SYS_Report("***********************************************"); JLINK_SYS_MessageBox("Set pin JTAG_MOD => 1 and press any key to continue..."); // Secure response stored @ 0x600, 0x610 in eFUSE region (OTP memory) Key0 = 0x87654321; Key1 = 0xedcba9; JLINK_CORESIGHT_Configure("IRPre=0;DRPre=0;IRPost=0;DRPost=0;IRLenDevice=5"); CPU = CORTEX_M7; JLINK_SYS_Sleep(100); JLINK_JTAG_WriteIR(0xC); // Output Challenge instruction // Readback Challenge, Shift 64 dummy bits on TDI, TODO: receive Challenge bits on TDO JLINK_JTAG_StartDR(); JLINK_SYS_Report("Reading Challenge ID...."); JLINK_JTAG_WriteDRCont(0xffffffff, 32); // 32-bit dummy write on TDI / read 32 bits on TDO v = JLINK_JTAG_GetU32(0); JLINK_SYS_Report1("Challenge UUID0:", v); JLINK_JTAG_WriteDREnd(0xffffffff, 32); v = JLINK_JTAG_GetU32(0); JLINK_SYS_Report1("Challenge UUID1:", v); JLINK_JTAG_WriteIR(0xD); // Output Response instruction JLINK_JTAG_StartDR(); JLINK_JTAG_WriteDRCont(Key0, 32); JLINK_JTAG_WriteDREnd(Key1, 24); JLINK_SYS_MessageBox("Change pin JTAG_MOD => 0, press any key to continue..."); return 0; }   SecJtag.bat file content is: jlink.exe -JLinkScriptFile NXP_RT1064_SecureJTAG.JlinkScript -device MIMXRT1064XXX6A -if JTAG -speed 4000 -autoconnect 1 -JTAGConf -1,-1 This command is mainly used the JLINK commander and JLINKScript to realize the Secure JTAG connection. When test it, put the SecJtag.bat, JLink.exe, and NXP_RT1064_SecureJTAG.JlinkScript 3 files in the same folder. For testing, can change the board mode to the internal boot mode, SW7:1-OFF,2-OFF, 3-ON, 4-OFF. Run SecJtag.bat, the test situation is: It indicates to connect JTAG_MOD to higher level   Fig 6 Here, use the wire to connect the J25_4 and TP11, which is connect the JTAG_MOD=1, then click OK, go to the next step:   Fig 7 It can be seen here that the correct UUID has been recognized, which is consistent with the UUID read by MCUBootutility above. Many customers cannot read the correct UUID here, indicating that there is a problem with hardware modification, or fuse modification, or another. Or in the case, the JTAG pin in the app is not enabled, which will be described in detail later. Here disconnect the connection between TP11 and J25_4, the default is JTAG_MOD=0, click OK to continue Fig 8 Here, we can see, the ARM CM7 core is found, it means this hardware platform already realize the Secure JTAG connection. Now, can use the IDEs to do the debugging. 3. Secure JTAG debug function in 3 IDEs This chapter aims at how to use secure JTAG function in RT10XX three commonly used IDEs: MCUXpresso, IAR, MDK,  to implement secure JTAG code debug operation.    3.1 Software code prepare This article selects the SDK hello_world project as the test demo: SDK_2_13_0_EVK-MIMXRT1064\boards\evkmimxrt1064\demo_apps\hello_world     Two points should be noted here:  Do not use led_blinky directly, because the led control pin GPIO_AD_B0_09 used by the code is JTAG_TDI, which will cause the Secure JTAG connection to fail after downloading this code, because the pin function of JTAG has been changed. Add the pin configuration for JTAG in app code pinmux.c, otherwise there will be a phenomenon due to the lack of JTAG pin configuration, to the empty RT1064, which the chip that has not burned the code can use Secure JTAG connection, but once the code is burned, the connection will be failed. Add the following code to Pinmux.c: IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_11_JTAG_TRSTB, 0U); IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_06_JTAG_TMS, 0U); IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_07_JTAG_TCK, 0U); IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_09_JTAG_TDI, 0U); IOMUXC_SetPinMux(IOMUXC_GPIO_AD_B0_10_JTAG_TDO, 0U); 3.2 MCUXpresso Secure JTAG debug    Use MCUXpresso IDE to import the SDK hello world demo, modify the pinmux.c, which add the JTAG pin function configuration.    Configure MCUXPresso ID’s debugger JLinkGDBServerCL.exe version as your used JLINK driver version, Window->preferences Fig 9 Run->Debug configurations, configure to JTAG, choose device as MIMXRT1064xxx6A, add the JLINKscriptfile   Fig10   Fig 11 Connect JTAG_MOD=1, which is connect TP11 to J25_4, connect OK.   Fig 12 We can see, it already gets the correct UUID, it also requires connect JTAG_MOD=0, here just leave the TP11 floating, then connect OK:   Fig 13 It can be seen that at this time, it has successfully entered the debug mode and can do debugging. For details, you can check the MCUXpresso11_7_1_MIMXRT1064_SJTAG.mp4 file in the attachment. The test experience here is that MCUXpresso V11.7.1 is found to be a bit unstable and needs to be tried a few more times, but the download of the higher version V11.8.0 version is very stable. If you can get a version higher than V11.7.1, it is recommended to use a higher version of MCUXpresso IDE . 3.3 IAR Secure JTAG debug Some customers need to use the IAR IDE to debug Secure JTAG function, you can use the hello world in the SDK demo, modify pinmux.c to add the JTAG pin configuration code.     The difference is:   (1) Run JLINK driver:JLinkDLLUpdater.exe   Fig 14 Just to refresh the JLINK driver to the IAR,MDK IDE. (2) Modify the file name of JLINKscript to be consistent with the name of the demo, and put it under the settings folder of the project folder. For example, the routine here is hello_world_flexspi_nor_debug, and the file name of JlinkScript is required: hello_world_flexspi_nor_debug.JlinkScript, so that IAR will automatically call the corresponding JlinkScript file   Fig15 (3) Configure IAR debugger as JLINK JTAG   Fig 16                                          Fig 17 Click debug button to enter debug mode:   Fig 18 It needs to set JTAG_MOD=1, just to connect TP11 to J25_4.   Fig 19 It needs to set JTAG_MOD=0, just leave the TP11 floating, click OK to continue.   Fig 20 We can see, the IAR already can do the secure JTAG debugging. 3.4 MDK Secure JTAG debug   For the MDK secure JTAG configuration, the basic requirement is:     (1) Modify pinmux.c code to enable the JTAG pin function     (2) Run JLINK driver, JLinkDLLUpdater.exe,refresh the driver to MDK     (3) JlinkScript file name changed to JLinkSettings.JlinkScript, copy it to the folder in the mdk project, then the MDK will call the JLINKscript file automatically   Fig 21       (4) Modify debugger to JLINK, then modify the interface to JTAG   Fig 22   Fig 23 So far, the Secure JTAG related configuration of MDK has been completed. From theory, it can be directly debugged to run. But I found some problems after many tests. For the code of RAM (hello_world debug), it is no problem to be able to perform secure JTAG debug, but for the code of flash (hello_world_flexspi_nor_debug), there is no problem through secure jtag download, but the debug will run the program abnormal, check the memory data in the flash, also get the wrong data     Fig 24 We can see, UUID also correct, normally, this issue is related to the flashloader during downloading, however, the flashloader of JLINK has not been directly accessed, so I tried to use RT-UFL as the flashloader, and the debugger was successful. If customers encounter similar problems when want to use the MDK to do the secure JTAG debugging, they can use RT-UFL as the flashloader. The reference document is: https://www.cnblogs.com/henjay724/p/13951686.html https://www.cnblogs.com/henjay724/p/15465655.html To summarize it here, copy the iMXRT_UFL file to the JLINK driver folder: C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLINK\Devices\NXP Copy JLinkDevices.xml to folder: C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLINK The Jlinkscript file add is the same as the Figure 21. Modify the JlinkSettings.ini file, device is MIMXRT1064_UFL, override =1.   Fig 25 Delete the program algorithm, will use the RT-UFL algorithm   Fig 26 Uncheck update target before Debugging   Fig 27 Enter debug mode:   Fig 28 Configure JTAG_MOD=1, connect TP11 to J25_4, click OK to continue:   Fig 29 Leave the TP11 as floating, click OK to enter the debug mode, the result is:   Fig 30 We can see, after changing the flashloader to the RT-UFL, MDK project Secure JTAG debug also works OK, the attachment also share the RT-UFL related files.  4. Summary For Secure JTAG, you need to modify the hardware to support JTAG function, modify the fuse to support secure JTAG, and modify the code pins to enable the JTAG function. For the IDE debug, you need to configure the relevant interface as JTAG and add the correct JlinkScriptfile, so that the secure JTAG function can be successfully run , and perform IDE code debugging.
