PCA9617ADP-ARD user manual
•
One IMXRT1050-EVK board
•
One PCA9617ADP-ARD daughterboard
•
One USB-A/USB Micro-B cable
•
A PC with Windows 10 operating system
The IMXRT1050 EVK motherboard can be powered by one of three methods:
1. Connecting an external 5VDC power supply to the barrel power connector (J2) on the
board
2. Connecting a USB cable from the PC to the Micro-B USB connector (J9) on the
board
3. Connecting a USB cable from the PC to the USB connector (J28) on the board.
When the PC is connected in this fashion, the USB port can simultaneously act as a
debug interface. Therefore, by using a single USB cable connected to J28, the EVK
can be powered and linked to the PC for data exchange.
Older USB ports (from the PC) are not able to deliver the necessary current (500 mA).
Use an external power supply (connected to J2) before establishing the communication.
From J1 on the EVK board (see
) the user can select the power configuration for
the motherboard. For further details, see the
i.MX RT1050 Processor Reference Manual

Figure 5. PCA9617ADP-ARD daughterboard and IMXRT1050 EVK board, before starting
To configure the hardware and workstation, complete the following procedure:
1. Configure the suitable power configuration of EVK (J1). If using J28 for power supply,
the J1 jumper shall be placed in position 5-6. If using an external power supply
(connected to J2), the jumper J1 will be placed in position 1-2.
2. Insert the PCA9617ADP-ARD daughterboard on the Arduino connector of the EVK
).
3. Using USB connector J28, connect the EVK board to a USB port of the computer.
4. Install the IMXRT1050 target firmware (download from NXP site and see
shields GUI and firmware installation manual
for step-by-step instructions).
5. Install GUI application (see
Arduino shields GUI and firmware installation manual
).
