This document’s purpose is to help software engineers create board bring up and test code for their own custom boards based on the i.MX 6 series of application processors. It provides example driver code that demonstrates the proper initialization, boot up and basic I/O operation of i.MX 6 peripherals and controllers. This code can be implemented into test suites or boot code to help ensure proper board functionality.
Engineers are expected to have a working understanding of the ARM processor programming model, the C programming language, tools such as compilers and assemblers, and program build tools such as MAKE. Familiarity with the use of commonly available hardware test and debug tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers is assumed. An understanding of the architecture of the i.MX 6 series of application processors is also assumed.
This guide is released along with the i.MX 6 series Platform SDK release package, which consists of a working set of sample drivers and test code for customer reference and use. The README.pdf document in the package describes how to build and run the drivers and the test code.
