The EVK9 enables HDMI output for simple out-of-the-box bring up but allows reconfiguration for MIPI displays. The EVK9 is designed as System-OnModule (SOM) board that connects to an associated baseboard. The SOM provides 2 GB LPDDR4, 32 MB Octal SPI Nor flash on RTD, 64 MB Octal SPI Nor flash on APD, 8MB Octal SPI pSRAM on RTD, 32 GB eMMC and an NXP PCA9460A power management IC (PMIC). The baseboard provides additional capabilities, including an M.2 Key-E slot for Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth based on NXP IW416, an audio codec, multiple sensors, a 10/100M ethernet RJ45 connector, a miniSAS connector for camera, a parallel EPDC connector, two USB 2.0 OTG with Type C connectors, an HDMI connector, and an alternate MIPI display connector. Additionally, the EVK9 facilitates software development with the ultimate goal of faster time to market through the support of both Linux® OS and Android® rich operating systems, as well as FreeRTOSTM. Hardware design files, tools and Board Support Packages (BSPs) for Linux® and Android® are available at www.nxp.com/iMX8ULPEVK9. 3 FEATURES The following features are available with the EVK based on the i.MX8ULP applications processor (9.4x9.4 package): · i.MX 8ULP applications processor with dual 800MHz Arm® Cortex®-A35 core and a 216MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core · 2 GB LPDDR4 DRAM, up to 533 MHz · 32 MB Octal SPI Nor flash on RTD · 64 MB Octal SPI Nor flash on APD · 8MB Octal-SPI pSRAM on RTD · 32 GB eMMC · miniSAS connector for camera · 10/100M ethernet RJ45 connector · M.2 Key-E slot for WIFI/BT · Tamper detect switch · Li-ion battery socket · User buttons · RGB LED · JTAG 10-pin 1.27 mm connector · Arduino connector · Debug port for Arm® Cortex®-A35/ M33 core via USB micro-B connector · Sensors including: Accelerometer / Gyroscope Precision pressure sensor · 2x USB Type-C connector · HDMI Output connector · MIPI-DSI connector · CAN header · 3.5 mm audio stereo headphone jack 4 QUICK START GUIDE i.MX 8ULP EVALUATION KIT 9 HOW TO GET STARTED This section describes how to use the evaluation kit and the required accessories to develop applications using the evaluation kit 9.

Connect the other end of the cable to a PC acting as a host terminal. If needed, the serial to USB drivers can be found at https://www. ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm Four COMs can be found in your PC. One is for A35 debug UART, another is for M33 debug UART, and please ignore the other two COMs. Open the terminal window (i.e., PuTTY or Tera Term) and apply the following configuration: · Baud rate: 115200 · Data bits: 8 · Stop bit: 1 · Parity: None 2 Connect Power Supply Connect the plug of the 5V power supply to the DC power jack P1 on the base board and slide power switch SW10 to ON, then green LED (POWER OK) D33 on the base board light up. When power is connected to the EVK, it will automatically begin the boot sequence. 6 QUICK START GUIDE i.MX 8ULP EVALUATION KIT 9 BOOT PROCESS FOR LINUX IMAGE Boot Process · Change SW5 on the base board to 1000_0000 (from MSB to LSB, 1-ON and 0-OFF) to boot from the eMMC0, as shown in Figure 2. After the board images are programmed and the boot switches are correctly configured, the system is ready to run. · Power on the EVK board. During the boot process, the operating system status information will be scrolling on the terminal window of the PC (if connected). · When the boot process is complete, the Linux® operating system splash screen will be displayed via HDMI connector. · To work from the terminal window on the host PC, press `Enter' at the terminal window to get the command prompt. Account name: root, password none. For details on running FreeRTOSTM on Arm® Cortex®-M33 core, please visit www.nxp.com/iMXtools. · Run "NXP Demo Experience" application to explore the preinstalled demos.
