Run an example application

To download and run the application, perform the following steps:

  1. Determine the debug interface that comes loaded on your specific hardware platform.

    • For MIMXRT700-EVK, MCU-LINK is used.

    • J54 is used as the debugging port which provides both debugging functionality and console out.

  2. Connect USB cable between J54 on EVK and PC USB port.

  3. Open the terminal application on the PC, such as, PuTTY or TeraTerm, and connect to the debug serial port number. To determine the COM port number, see How to determine COM port. Configure the terminal with these settings:

    • 115200 baud rate or 9600 baud rate, depending on your board (reference BOARD_DEBUG_UART_BAUDRATE variable in the board.h file)

    • No parity

    • 8 data bits

    • 1 stop bit

  4. On the Quickstart Panel, click Debug to launch the debug session.

  5. The first time you debug a project, the Debug Emulator Selection dialog is displayed, showing all supported probes that are attached to your computer. Select the probe through which you want to debug and click OK. (For any future debug sessions, the stored probe selection is automatically used, unless the probe cannot be found.)

    Note: Make sure that the board is set to XSPI0 flash boot mode.

  6. The application is downloaded to the target and automatically runs to main().

  7. To start the application, click the Resume.

The hello_world application is now running and a banner is displayed on the terminal. If not, check your terminal settings and connections.
