| used as shared memory |
| |
| System Clock |
| ============ |
| |
| The MIMXRT1160 SoC is configured to use SysTick as the system clock source, |
| running at 600MHz. When targeting the M4 core, SysTick will also be used, |
| running at 240MHz |
| |
| When power management is enabled, the 32 KHz low frequency |
| oscillator on the board will be used as a source for the GPT timer to |
| generate a system clock. This clock enables lower power states, at the |
| cost of reduced resolution |
| |
| Serial Port |
| =========== |
| |
| The MIMXRT1160 SoC has 12 UARTs. One is configured for the console and the |
| remaining are not used. |
| |
| Programming and Debugging |
| ************************* |
| |
| Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and |
| :ref:`application_run` for more details). |
| |
| Building a Dual-Core Image |
| ========================== |
| Dual core samples load the M4 core image from flash into the shared ``ocram`` |
| region. The M7 core then sets the M4 boot address to this region. The only |
| sample currently enabled for dual core builds is the ``openamp`` sample. |
| To flash a dual core sample, the M4 image must be flashed first, so that it is |
| written to flash. Then, the M7 image must be flashed. The openamp sysbuild |
| sample will do this automatically by setting the image order. |
| |
| The secondary core can be debugged normally in single core builds |
| (where the target is ``mimxrt1160_evk_cm4``). For dual core builds, the |
| secondary core should be placed into a loop, then a debugger can be attached |
| (see `AN13264`_, section 4.2.3 for more information) |
| |
| Configuring a Debug Probe |
| ========================= |
| |
| A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is |
| configured by default to use the :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe`, |
| however the :ref:`pyocd-debug-host-tools` do not yet support programming the |
| external flashes on this board so you must reconfigure the board for one of the |
| following debug probes instead. |
| |
| .. _Using J-Link RT1160: |
| |
| Using J-Link |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search |
| path. |
| |
| There are two options: the onboard debug circuit can be updated with Segger |
| J-Link firmware, or :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` can be attached to the |
| EVK. See `Using J-Link with MIMXRT1160-EVK or MIMXRT1170-EVK`_ for more details. |
| |
| Configuring a Console |
| ===================== |
| |
| Regardless of your choice in debug probe, we will use the OpenSDA |
| microcontroller as a usb-to-serial adapter for the serial console. Check that |
| jumpers J5 and J8 are **on** (they are on by default when boards ship from |
| the factory) to connect UART signals to the OpenSDA microcontroller. |
| |
| Connect a USB cable from your PC to J11. |
| |
| Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty, |
| etc.): |
| |
| - Speed: 115200 |
| - Data: 8 bits |
| - Parity: None |
| - Stop bits: 1 |
| |
| Flashing |
| ======== |
| |
| Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. |
| |
| Before power on the board, make sure SW1 is set to 0001b |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: mimxrt1160_evk_cm7 |
| :goals: flash |
| |
| Power off the board, and change SW1 to 0010b. Then power on the board and |
| open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW4 button), and you should |
| see the following message in the terminal: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| ***** Booting Zephyr OS v2.6.0-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx ***** |
| Hello World! mimxrt1160_evk_cm7 |
| |
| Debugging |
| ========= |
| |
| Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: mimxrt1160_evk_cm7 |
| :goals: debug |
| |
| Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you |
| should see the following message in the terminal: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| ***** Booting Zephyr OS v2.4.0-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx ***** |
| Hello World! mimxrt1160_evk_cm7 |
