This is the documentation for the latest (main) development branch of mcuxpresso sdk. If you are looking for the documentation of previous releases, use the drop-down menu on the left and select the desired version.

Hardware requirements

  • Micro USB cable

  • MIMX8ULP-EVK/EVK9 board

  • J-Link Debug Probe

  • 5V power supply

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

The example requires connecting the FLEXIO0 pins with the USB2COM pins The connection should be set as follows:

  • PTA8(J20,10) on base board, TX of USB2COM connected

  • PTA9(J20,9) on base board, RX of USB2COM connected

  • GND(J20,7) on base board, Ground of USB2COM connected

Please note this application can’t support running with Linux BSP!

Prepare the Demo

  1. Connect 5V power supply and J-Link Debug Probe to the board, switch SW10 to power on the board.

  2. Connect a micro USB cable between the host PC and the J17 USB port on the target board.

  3. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  4. Download the program to the target board.

  5. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the example

Running the demo

When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the UART Terminal port which connected to the USB2COM like:
