i.MX RT
=======
The i.MX RT series of chips from NXP Semiconductors is based around an ARM Cortex-M7 core running
at 500 MHz, 600 MHz or 1 GHz based on particular MCUs
Supported MCUs
=============
The following list includes MCUs from i.MX RT series and indicates whether they are supported in NuttX
====== ======= ============== =================
MCU Support Core Frequency
====== ======= ============== =================
RT500 No Cortex-M33 200 MHz
RT600 No Cortex-M33 300 MHz
RT1010 No Cortex-M7 500 MHz
RT1015 No Cortex-M7 500 MHz
RT1020 Yes Cortex-M7 500 MHz
RT1024 No Cortex-M7 500 MHz
RT1050 Yes Cortex-M7 600 MHz
RT1060 Yes Cortex-M7 600 MHz
RT1064 Yes Cortex-M7 600 MHz
RT1170 No Cortex-M7 + M4 1 GHz + 400 MHz
====== ======= ============== =================
Data and Instruction Cache
==========================
MCUs i.MX RT1010 and higher have separated caches for instructions and data. Data cache is initially
set as write-through but can be changed to write-back via Kconfig. While write-back gives better
performance than write-through, it is not supported for all peripherals in NuttX yet. Write-back data
cache can not be selected while running Ethernet or serial port over USB.
Peripheral Support
==================
The following list indicates peripherals supported in NuttX:

========== =======
ACMP
----
The circout for comparing two analog input voltages designed to operate across the full
range of supply voltage (rail-to-rail operation).
ADC
---
ADC driver with the successive approximation analog/digital converter. The lower-half of
this driver is initialize by calling :c:func:`imxrt_adcinitialize`.
CAN
---
FlexCAN driver is supported in MCUs i.MX RT1020 and higher. i.MX RT106x have both classical
CAN and also one CAN FD while i.MX RT1170 have 3 CAN FD peripherals. FlexCAN driver in imxrt
works beyond SocketCAN driver layout. The lower-half of this driver is initialize by
calling :c:func:`imxrt_cannitialize()`.
There is an booting option that automatically provides initialization of network interface
in the early stages of booting and therefore calling :c:func:`imxrt_cannitialize()` via
board specific logic is not necessary. This however works only when there is only one
interface in the chip. For running more interfaces (like CAN and Ethernet), network late
initialization must be turn on by CONFIG_NETDEV_LATEINIT and board specific logic must call
lower-half part of drivers.
CSI
---
CMOS Sensor interface which enables the chip to connect directly to external CMOS image sensors.
DAC
---
Digital/analog converter for external signal is only supported in i.MX RT1170 MCU. It is 12 bit
lower power, general purpose DAC.
eLCDIF
------
The enhanced Liquid Crystal Display interface (LCDIF) is a general purpose display controller.
ENC
---
The enhanced quadrature encoder/decoder module supported in i.MX RT1015 and higher. The lower-half
of this driver is initialize by calling :c:func:`imxrt_qeinitialize`.
ENET
----
Ethernet driver supported in i.MX RT1020 and higher. The lower-half of this driver is initialize
by calling :c:func:`imxrt_netnitialize`.
There is an booting option that automatically provides initialization of network interface
in the early stages of booting and therefore calling :c:func:`imxrt_cannitialize()` via
board specific logic is not necessary. This however works only when there is only one
interface in the chip. For running more interfaces (like CAN and Ethernet), network late
initialization must be turn on by CONFIG_NETDEV_LATEINIT and board specific logic must call
lower-half part of drivers.
FlexIO
------
A configurable module providing a range of functionality like emulation of a variety of
serial/parallel communication protocols, flexible 16-bit timers or programmable logic blocks.
This module is supported in i.MX RT1010 and higher.
GPIO
----
Pins can be configured using :c:func:`imxrt_config_gpio` function. Writing to pins is
done by :c:func:`imxrt_gpio_write` function and reading is done by :c:func:`imxrt_gpio_read`.
MCUs i.MX RT1060 and higher includes both standard speed GPIOs (1-5) and high speed
GPIOS (6-9). Regular and high speed GPIO share the same pins (GPIO1 is with GPIO6 etc),
therefore IOMUXC_GPR_GPR26-29 registers are used to determine what module is used for the
GPIO pins.
I2C
---
Inter-Integrated Circout module supporting an interface to an I2C bus as master and/or
as a slave. The lower-half of this driver is initialize by calling :c:func:`imxrt_i2cbus_initialize`.
PWM
---
Pulse width modulator supported in i.MX RT1010 and higher.
SAI
---
Synchronous audio interface provided by I2C module. Supported in i.MX RT1015 and higher.
SPDIF
-----
Sony/Philips digital interface audio block. It is a stereo transceiver that allows the
processor to receive and transmit digital audio. Supported in i.MX RT1010 and higher.
SPI
---
Serial Peripheral interface module that supports an interface to an SPI bus as a master
and/or a slave. The lower-half of this driver is initialize by calling :c:func:`imxrt_lpsibus_initialize`.
UART
----
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter module. UART is initialized automatically during
MCU boot.
USB
---
Console communication over USB is supported via CDC-ACM. Only USB Device is currently supported
for i.MX RT in NuttX
