Figure 1. Hardware connection of EVK-MIMX8MM
2.2 EVK-MIMX8MN (Nano)
The hardware requirements are as follows:
• i.MX8M Nano development board (EVK-MIMX8MN)
• J-Link debug probe
• USB-C cable (12-V power supply)
• USB-C cable (download to ROM memory)
• Micro USB cable (debug print)
Debugger:
The default debugger in the example project is set to J-Link.
FreeMASTER
FreeMASTER communication is used via an external J-Link plugin.
The hardware settings are as follows:
1. Connect the 12-V power supply (J302 USB port) and the J-Link debug probe to the board and switch the SW101 switch to
power on the board.
2. Connect a USB-C cable between the host PC and the J301 USB port (this port allows downloading to the ROM memory).
3. If a debug print is needed, connect a micro USB cable between the host PC and the J901 USB port on the target board.
Then open a serial terminal with the following settings:
• 115200 baud rate
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• One stop bit
• No flow control
4. Set switch SW1101 to "0100" to boot from the eMMC.
