Supported Features

The mimxrt1010_evk board configuration supports the following hardware features:

Interface	Controller	Driver/Component
NVIC	on-chip	nested vector interrupt controller
SYSTICK	on-chip	systick
GPIO	on-chip	gpio
I2C	on-chip	i2c
UART	on-chip	serial port-polling; serial port-interrupt
USB	on-chip	USB device

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file: boards/arm/mimxrt1010_evk/mimxrt1010_evk_defconfig

Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.

Connections and I/Os

The MIMXRT1010 SoC has five pairs of pinmux/gpio controllers.

Name	Function	Usage
GPIO_11	GPIO	LED
GPIO_SD_05	GPIO	SW4
GPIO_10	LPUART1_TX	UART Console
GPIO_09	LPUART1_RX	UART Console
GPIO_01	LPI2C1_SDA	I2C SDA
GPIO_02	LPI2C1_CLK	I2C SCL

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.

J-Link External Debug Probe

Install the J-Link Debug Host Tools and make sure they are in your search path.

Attach a J-Link 10-pin connector to J55. Check that jumpers J61 and J62 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 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
