Vendor	NXP

Configuration

Please use mimxrt1050_evk ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:mimxrt1050_evk]
platform = nxpimxrt
board = mimxrt1050_evk

You can override default NXP i.MX RT1050 Evaluation Kit settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest mimxrt1050_evk.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:mimxrt1050_evk]
platform = nxpimxrt
board = mimxrt1050_evk

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = mimxrt1052dvl6b

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 600000000L

Uploading

NXP i.MX RT1050 Evaluation Kit supports the following uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• jlink

• mbed

Default protocol is mbed

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:mimxrt1050_evk]
platform = nxpimxrt
board = mimxrt1050_evk

upload_protocol = mbed

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

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