2 Getting Started

This chapter contains information about how to get acquainted with the iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit.

Please read this chapter first before you start using the board - it will be well spent time!

First of all, thank you for buying Embedded Artists’ iMX RT1166 Developer’s Kit based on NXP’s ARM

Cortex-M7/M4 i.MX RT1166 Crossover MCU. You will get up-and-running quickly!

Section 2.1 contains a list of what is included in the iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit.

Section 2.2 together with Figure 17 in chapter 3 gives an overview presentation of the

hardware and the interfaces and connectors available.

Section 2.3 describes how to mount the display.

Section 2.4 describes how to connect the USB cable, install the UART-to-USB driver and

power-up the board the first time.

Section 2.5 presents an alternative powering solution via the USB console interfaces.

Section 2.6 - 2.10 describes important handling and care issues.

Chapter 3 presents the uCOM Carrier Board and where to find more information about the

hardware design of it.

To get started with program development and program download/flashing, see document iMX RT

Developer's Kit Program Development Guide.

2.1 iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit Content

One iMX RT1166 uCOM board mounted on one uCOM Carrier board, see Figure 1 below.

One 100/10Mbps Ethernet adapter

One MIPI-to-HDMI adapter

One 40 pos, 0.5 mm pitch, 50 mm long flat cable

One 4.3 inch 480x272px LCD with capacitive touch panel, including mounting kit

One 12V supply

One micro-B to A USB cable

One MCU-Link debug interface

For program development you can optionally use another debug probe (than MCU-Link), like MCU-

Link Pro, ULINK, J-LINK or LPC-Link2, and a program development environment, like MCUXpresso,

Keil uVision or IAR Embedded Workbench. For more information about program development, see

document iMX RT Developer's Kit Program Development Guide.

2.2 Hardware Overview

Figure 1 below illustrates the top side of the uCOM Carrier board. Some key components, relevant to

get started, have been marked in the picture.

Figure 1 –iMX RT1166 Developer's Kit

1. ON/OFF switch (instead of having to plug in/out the 12V power supply barrel connector).

2. 12V power supply input, 12V/2-3A DC, via a 2.1mm power jack. The center position is the

positive terminal.

3. USB OTG connector - this USB interface can, together with a PC application, be used to

program the flash memory of the iMX RT1166 uCOM board.

4. UART-to-USB bridge - this gives access to the console UART for the Cortex-M7 core of the

i.MX RT1166 MCU.

5. ISP Enable push-button (and jumper, left of button) - pressing this button (or shorting jumper)

while the board power up will place the i.MX RT1166 is ISP mode (typically used for

programming the iMX RT1166 uCOM board flash memory).

6. Reset push-button - a press will generate a power cycle (in default behavior).

7. Mounting holes for the display.

8. Second UART-to-USB bridge - this gives access to the console UART for the Cortex-M4 of

the i.MX RT1166 MCU.

Figure 17 in chapter 3 gives a slightly more detailed presentation of all interfaces and connectors on

the board.

2.3 Mounting the LCD

If you are going to work with a display application and use the parallel RGB interface, when continue

with mounting the LCD. Follow the instructions in this section of the document.

If you are going to work with the second Ethernet interface (via the Ethernet Adapter), then do not

mount the LCD.

Begin with mounting the two 3D-printed display mounts. Each of them have two M3 screws. Remove

the screws from the mounts. Place the mounts as illustrated in the picture below.

Figure 2 –uCOM Carrier Board with LCD Mounts

Use the screws to fasten the mounts form the bottom side, as illustrated in the picture below. Do not

tighten the screws too much.

Figure 3 –Screws for LCD Mounts on Bottom Side of uCOM Carrier Board

Next, place the LCD behind the mounts, as illustrated in the picture below. This position makes it

easier to connect the two flat cables to the LCD. Make sure the locks on the flat cable connector on the

uCOM Carrier Board are open before inserting the two flat cables from the LCD.

pushing down in both ends

Remove the protection over the four double-sided tapes and carefully place the LCD in the mounts.

Figure 5 –Placing LCD on Mounts

The picture illustrates how it will look like from the side. Between the mounts and the LCD, there isthe

double-sided tape.

Make sure the flat cable for the capacitive touch panel is carefully bent over the mounts.

Figure 7 –Side View of LCD Mount

In the end, it will look like the picture below illustrates.

Figure 8 –LCD Mounted on uCOM Carrier Board

Flat cable shall be bend carefully over

the mount. It shall not be stuck or

jammed in-between the mount and LCD.
