NXP i.MX RT1020 Evaluation Kit¶

Hardware¶

Platform NXP i.MX RT: The i.MX RT series of crossover processors features the Arm Cortex-M core, real-time functionality and MCU usability at a cost-effective price.

Configuration¶

Please use mimxrt1020_evk ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:mimxrt1020_evk]
platform = nxpimxrt
board = mimxrt1020_evk

You can override default NXP i.MX RT1020 Evaluation Kit settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest mimxrt1020_evk.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:mimxrt1020_evk]
platform = nxpimxrt
board = mimxrt1020_evk

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = mimxrt1021dag5a

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 500000000L

Uploading¶

NXP i.MX RT1020 Evaluation Kit supports the next uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• jlink

• mbed

Default protocol is mbed

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:mimxrt1020_evk]
platform = nxpimxrt
board = mimxrt1020_evk

upload_protocol = mbed

Debugging¶

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

NXP i.MX RT1020 Evaluation Kit has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
