NXP MIMXRT595-EVK
##################
Overview
********
i.MX RT500 crossover MCUs are part of the edge computing family and are optimized
for low-power HMI applications by combining a graphics engine and a streamlined
Cadence Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP core with a next-generation Arm Cortex-M33
core. These devices are designed to unlock the potential of display-based applications
with a secure, power-optimized embedded processor.
i.MX RT500 MCUs provides up to 5MB of on-chip SRAM and several high-bandwidth interfaces
to access off-chip flash, including an Octal/Quad SPI interface with an on-the-fly
decryption engine.

System Clock
============
The MIMXRT595 EVK is configured to use the OS Event timer
as a source for the system clock.
Serial Port
===========
The MIMXRT595 SoC has 13 FLEXCOMM interfaces for serial communication. One is
configured as USART 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).
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 LPC-Link2.
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: LPCLink2 JLink Onboard
1. Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search path.
2. To connect the SWD signals to onboard debug circuit, install jumpers JP17, JP18 and JP19,
if not already done (these jumpers are installed by default).
3. Follow the instructions in :ref:`lpclink2-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program the
J-Link firmware. Please make sure you have the latest firmware for this board.
.. group-tab:: JLink External
1. Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search path.
2. To disconnect the SWD signals from onboard debug circuit, **remove** jumpers J17, J18,
and J19 (these are installed by default).
3. Connect the J-Link probe to J2 10-pin header.
See :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` for more information.
Configuring a Console
=====================
Connect a USB cable from your PC to J40, and use the serial terminal of your choice
(minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
Flashing
========
Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. This example uses the
:ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` as default.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: mimxrt595_evk_cm33
:goals: flash
Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the RESET button), and you should
see the following message in the terminal:
.. code-block:: console
*** Booting Zephyr OS v2.7 ***
Hello World! mimxrt595_evk_cm33
Debugging
=========
Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. This example uses the
:ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` as default.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: mimxrt595_evk_cm33
: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 v2.7 ***
Hello World! mimxrt595_evk_cm33
Troubleshooting
===============
If the debug probe fails to connect with the following error, it's possible
that the image in flash is interfering and causing this issue.
.. code-block:: console
Remote debugging using :2331
Remote communication error. Target disconnected.: Connection reset by peer.
"monitor" command not supported by this target.
"monitor" command not supported by this target.
You can't do that when your target is `exec'
(gdb) Could not connect to target.
Please check power, connection and settings.
You can fix it by erasing and reprogramming the flash with the following
steps:
#. Set the SW7 DIP switches to ON-ON-ON to prevent booting from flash.
#. Reset by pressing SW3
#. Run ``west debug`` or ``west flash`` again with a known working Zephyr
application (example "Hello World").
#. Set the SW5 DIP switches to OFF-OFF-ON to boot from flash.
#. Reset by pressing SW3
