Figure 4. Pinout of the phyCORE-Connector (top view, with cross section insert)
Table 3
provides an overview of the pinout of the phyCORE-Connector with signal names and descriptions specific to the
phyCORE-i.MX7. It also provides the appropriate signal level interface voltages listed in the Level column, along with the
signal direction.
CAUTION:
Most of the controller pins have multiple multiplexed functions. Because most of these pins are connected directly to
the phyCORE-Connector the functions are also available at the connector. Signal names and descriptions in
Table 3,
however, are in regard to the specification of the phyCORE-i.MX7 and the functions defined therein. Please refer to the
i.MX7 datasheet, or the schematic to learn about alternative functions. In order to utilize a specific pin's alternative
function the corresponding registers must be configured within the appropriate driver of the BSP. To support all
features of the phyCORE-i.MX7 Carrier Board a few changes have been made in the BSP delivered with the module.
The NXP i.MX7 is a multi-voltage operated microcontroller and as such special attention should be paid to the interface
voltage levels to avoid unintentional damage to the microcontroller and other on-board components. Please refer to the
NXP i.MX7 Reference Manual for details on the functions and features of controller signals and port pins.
