6.3 Using the PCA9955BTW-ARD with an i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK
board
When an i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK board is used with the PCA9955BTW-ARD
board, a third board (IMX8MMINI-IARD interposer board) must be used, especially
designed and built as an EVK/daughterboard 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, see i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK user manual). 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 PCA9955BTW-ARD daughterboard.
To operate the setup, along with the EVK and the daughterboard, a third board must be
included in the setup assembly.
shows the necessary boards and how these
boards are connected. The configuration consists of:
•
One i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK board
•
One PCA9955BTW-ARD daughterboard
•
One IMX8MMINI-IARD interposer board
•
One USB-A / USB-C cable
•
One USB-A / USB Micro-B cable
