PCA9846PW-ARD evaluation board
The following steps describe how to assemble, program, and operate the configuration
shown in Figure 11.
1. Insert the PCA9846PW-ARD expansion board. to P16-P19 connectors located on
LPCXpresso55S69 development board. See the marked pins of P16-P19 in
.
2. Connect the development board using port P6 USB port of PC.
3. Install the LPCXpresso55S69 target firmware. Refer to UM11581
for more
information.
4. Install GUI application on the PC. See the instruction file called out in
5. Open the GUI application to operate the device from the PC. See
shows the two boards in operation.

6.3 Using the PCA9846PW-ARD with an i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK board
When an i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK board is used with the PCA9846PW-ARD board, a
third board (IMX8MMINI-IARD interposer board) must be used, especially designed and
built as EVK-expansion board interconnection. The EVK board i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4
is not equipped with an Arduino port. Instead, it has a 2 x 20 pin expansion connector
(J1003, refer to UM11612
). J1003 is a multipurpose port, containing various digital I/
O lines, including specialized I
2
C and SPI buses. Starting from the expansion connector
pin chart, an Arduino port interposer board was developed, with the role of signal-to-
signal bridge between the 2 x 20 connector pins on the i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK and
the mated connectors of the Arduino port present on the PCA9846PW-ARD expansion
board.
