NXP MIMXRT1010-EVK

Overview

The i.MX RT1010 offers a new entry-point into the i.MX RT crossover processor series by providing the lowest-cost LQFP package option, combined with the high performance and ease-of-use known throughout the entire i.MX RT series. This device is fully supported by NXP’s MCUXpresso Software and Tools.

System Clock

The MIMXRT1010 SoC is configured to use the 24 MHz external oscillator on the board with the on-chip PLL to generate a 500 MHz core clock.

Serial Port

The MIMXRT1010 SoC has four UARTs. LPUART1 is configured for the console, and the remaining are not used.

Programming and Debugging

Build and flash applications as usual (see Building an Application and Run an Application 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 OpenSDA DAPLink Onboard Debug Probe, however the 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.

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 J31 and J32 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 J41.

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 Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b mimxrt1010_evk samples/hello_world
west flash

Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW9 button), and you should see the following message in the terminal:

Hello World! mimxrt1010_evk
