NXP MCIMX93-EVK

This article describes specifics for the NXP MCIMX93-EVK evaluation board.

Preparing for J-Link

To have all cores up and running at the same time, the board must contain a boot image with firmware application for Cortex-M33 and Linux/other OS for Cortex-A55.
If SW1301 boot switch is set to "Cortex-M Download mode" only Cortex-M33 core will be booted.
If SW1301 boot switch is set to "Cortex-A Download mode" only Cortex-A55 core 0 will be booted.

• Connect the J-Link to JTAG connector (J1405).
• Connect the onboard USB-UART debug interface to host computer (J1401).
• Open a serial interface communication via terminal application (PuTTY).
• Power the board via USB Type-C Power connector (J301).
• Turn on the power switch (SW301).
• Wait until the bootloader is started and interrupt the loading of the operating system(Linux Kernel). The output should look as follows:

• Verify the Connection with e.g. J-Link Commander. The output should look as follows:
• Cortex-M33 connection:

• Cortex-A55 connection:

Example Project

The following example project was created with the SEGGER Embedded Studio project wizard and runs out-of-the-box on the NXP MCIMX93-EVK.
It is a simple Hello World sample linked into the internal flash.
