note:: In order to use the SPI peripheral on this board, resistors R278, R279, R280, and R281 must be populated with zero ohm resistors System Clock ============ The MIMXRT1050 SoC is configured to use SysTick as the system clock source, running at 600MHz. 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 MIMXRT1050 SoC has eight UARTs. ``LPUART1`` is configured for the console, ``LPUART3`` for the Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (BT HCI), and the remaining are not used. USB === The RT1050 SoC has two USB OTG (USBOTG) controllers that supports both device and host functions through its micro USB connectors. Only USB device function is supported in Zephyr at the moment. 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 :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 LinkServer ---------------- Install the :ref:`linkserver-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search path. LinkServer works with the default CMSIS-DAP firmware included in the on-board debugger. Linkserver is the default runner. You may also se the ``-r linkserver`` option with West to use the LinkServer runner. .. code-block:: console west flash west debug JLink (on-board): :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` ---------------------------------------------------------- Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search path. Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program the `OpenSDA J-Link MIMXRT1050-EVK-Hyperflash Firmware`_. Check that jumpers J32 and J33 are **on** (they are on by default when boards ship from the factory) to ensure SWD signals are connected to the OpenSDA microcontroller. Follow the instructions in `Enable QSPI flash support in SEGGER JLink`_ in order to support your EVK if you have modified it to boot from QSPI NOR flash as specified by NXP AN12108. External JLink :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` ------------------------------------------------ Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search path. Attach a J-Link 20-pin connector to J21. Check that jumpers J32 and J33 are **off** (they are on by default when boards ship from the factory) to ensure SWD signals are disconnected from the OpenSDA microcontroller. 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 J30 and J31 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 J28. 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. .. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: mimxrt1050_evk :goals: flash 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 v1.14.0-rc1 ***** Hello World! mimxrt1050_evk Debugging ========= Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. .. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: mimxrt1050_evk :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 v1.14.0-rc1 ***** Hello World! mimxrt1050_evk Troubleshooting =============== If the debug probe fails to connect with the following error, it's possible that the boot header in HyperFlash is invalid or corrupted. The boot header is configured by :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NXP_IMX_RT_BOOT_HEADER`. .. 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 HyperFlash with the following steps: #. Set the SW7 DIP switches to ON-ON-ON-OFF to prevent booting from HyperFlash. #. Reset by pressing SW4 #. Run ``west debug`` or ``west flash`` again with a known working Zephyr application. #. Set the SW7 DIP switches to OFF-ON-ON-OFF to boot from HyperFlash. #. Reset by pressing SW4 Board Revisions *************** The original MIMXRT1050-EVK (rev A0) board was updated with a newer MIMXRT1050-EVKB (rev A1) board, with these major hardware differences: - SoC changed from MIMXRT1052DVL6\ **A** to MIMXRT1052DVL6\ **B** - Hardware bug fixes for: power, interfaces, and memory - Arduino headers included For more details, please see the following `NXP i.MXRT1050 A0 to A1 Migration Guide`_.

There is a new driver with binding `nxp,enet`, which is experimental and undergoing development, but will have enhanced capability, such as not hardcoding code for only one phy in the driver like eth_mcux. To build for this EVK with the new driver, include the experimental overlay to west build with the option `-DEXTRA_DTC_OVERLAY_FILE=nxp,enet-experimental.overlay`.
