Supported Features
==================

NXP considers the MIMXRT1170-EVK as the superset board for the i.MX RT11xx
family of MCUs.  This board is a focus for NXP's Full Platform Support for
Zephyr, to better enable the entire RT11xx family.

Shields for Supported Features
==============================

Some features in the table above are tested with Zephyr shields.  These shields
are tested on this board:

- :ref:`rk055hdmipi4m`, :ref:`rk055hdmipi4ma0` and :ref:`g1120b0mipi` - support
  the MIPI-DSI display interface.
- :ref:`nxp_btb44_ov5640` - supports the MIPI-CSI video/camera interface.
- :ref:`nxp_m2_wifi_bt` - EVK RevB version is tested with this shield to attach any M.2 module
  with BT HCI UART interface and Wi-Fi SDIO interface. The shield binds the required NXP
  HCI driver or SDIO driver to perform firmware-load and other setup configurations
  for NXP SoC IW416/IW612/IW610.

Dual Core samples

| flexspi1 | 0x30000000[16M]  | Cortex M7 flash       |
+----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| sdram0   | 0x80030000[64M]  | Cortex M7 ram         |

+----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| ocram2   | 0x200C0000[512K] | Mailbox/shared memory |
+----------+------------------+-----------------------+

Only the first 16K of ocram2 has the correct MPU region attributes set to be
used as shared memory

System Clock
============

The MIMXRT1170 SoC is configured to use SysTick as the system clock source,
running at 996MHz. When targeting the M4 core, SysTick will also be used,
running at 400MHz

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 MIMXRT1170 SoC has 12 UARTs. ``LPUART1`` is configured for the console,
``LPUART2`` for the Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (BT HCI), and the
remaining are not used.

Fetch Binary Blobs
==================

The board Bluetooth/WiFi module requires fetching some binary blob files, to do
that run the command:

.. code-block:: console

   west blobs fetch hal_nxp

.. note:: Only Bluetooth functionality is currently supported.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Building a Dual-Core Image
==========================
Dual core samples load the M4 core image from flash into the shared ``ocram``
region. The M7 core then sets the M4 boot address to this region. The only
sample currently enabled for dual core builds is the ``openamp`` sample.
To flash a dual core sample, the M4 image must be flashed first, so that it is
written to flash. Then, the M7 image must be flashed. The openamp sysbuild
sample will do this automatically by setting the image order.

The secondary core can be debugged normally in single core builds
(where the target is ``mimxrt1170_evk/mimxrt1176/cm4``). For dual core builds, the
secondary core should be placed into a loop, then a debugger can be attached
(see `AN13264`_, section 4.2.3 for more information)

Launching Images Targeting M4 Core
==================================
If building targeting the M4 core, the M7 core must first run code to launch
the M4 image, by copying it into the ``ocram`` region then kicking off the M4
core. When building using sysbuild targeting the M4 core, a minimal "launcher"
image will be built and flashed to the M7 core, which loads and kicks off
the M4 core. Therefore when developing an application intended to run
standalone on the M4 core, it is recommended to build with sysbuild, like
so:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: mimxrt1170_evk/mimxrt1176/cm4
   :west-args: --sysbuild
   :goals: flash

If desired, this behavior can be disabled by building with
``-DSB_CONFIG_SECOND_CORE_MCUX_LAUNCHER=n``

Configuring a Debug Probe
=========================

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. The on-board
debugger listed below works with the LinkServer runner by default, or can be
reprogrammed with JLink firmware.

- MIMXRT1170-EVKB: :ref:`mcu-link-cmsis-onboard-debug-probe`
- MIMXRT1170-EVK:  :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe`

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.

Using J-Link
------------

Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search path.

There are two options: the onboard debug circuit can be updated with Segger
J-Link firmware, or :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` can be attached to the
EVK. See `Using J-Link with MIMXRT1170-EVKB`_ or
`Using J-Link with MIMXRT1160-EVK or MIMXRT1170-EVK`_ for more details.

Use the ``-r jlink`` option with West to use the jlink runner.

.. code-block:: console

   west flash -r jlink

Alternatively, pyOCD can be used to flash and debug the board by using the
``-r pyocd`` option with West. pyOCD is installed when you complete the
:ref:`gs_python_deps` step in the Getting Started Guide. The runners supported
by NXP are LinkServer and JLink. pyOCD is another potential option, but NXP
does not test or support the pyOCD runner.

Configuring a Console
=====================

We will use the on-board debugger
microcontroller as a usb-to-serial adapter for the serial console. The following
jumper settings are default on these boards, and are required to connect the
UART signals to the USB bridge circuit:

- MIMXRT1170-EVKB: JP2 open (default)
- MIMXRT1170-EVK:  J31 and J32 shorted (default)

Connect a USB cable from your PC to the on-board debugger USB port:

- MIMXRT1170-EVKB: J86
- MIMXRT1170-EVK:  J11

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 :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.

Before powering the board, make sure SW1 is set to 0001b

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: mimxrt1170_evk/mimxrt1176/cm7
   :goals: flash

Power off the board, and change SW1 to 0010b. Then power on the board and
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 v3.4.0-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
   Hello World! mimxrt1170_evk

Debugging
=========

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: mimxrt1170_evk/mimxrt1176/cm7
   :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 v3.4.0-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
   Hello World! mimxrt1170_evk

ENET1G Driver
=============

Current default of ethernet driver is to use 100M Ethernet instance ENET.
To use the 1G Ethernet instance ENET1G, include the overlay to west build with
the option ``-DEXTRA_DTC_OVERLAY_FILE=nxp,enet1g.overlay`` instead.
