ESD. Never touch directly on the iMX RT1062 OEM Board and in general as little as possible on the iMX OEM Carrier Board. The push-buttons on the iMX OEM Carrier Board have grounded shields to minimize the effect of ESD.
Page 12 General Handling Care Handle the iMX RT1062 OEM Board and iMX OEM Carrier Board with care. The boards are not mounted in a protective case/box and are not designed for rough physical handling. Connectors can wear out after excessive use. The iMX OEM Carrier Board is designed for prototyping use, and not for integration into an end-product.
RT1062 Developers Kit. Due to the nature of the iMX RT1062 Developers Kit – an evaluation board not for integration into an end-product – fast transient immunity tests and conducted radio-frequency immunity tests have not been executed.
Page 14 3 Demo Application The iMX RT1062 Developer's Kit comes pre-loaded with a demo application. If the demo application is missing or over-written by another application, follow the guidelines for how to download a program in the document iMX RT1062 Developer's Kit Program Development Guide. A pre-compiled binary file is available on the support site.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 15 4 iMX OEM Carrier Board Design This chapter contains information about the peripherals and general design of the iMX OEM Carrier Board and how to set the different jumpers on the board. The schematic can be downloaded in pdf format from the support page, and is recommended to have printed out while reading this chapter.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 16 SP2a: Power Supplies The power supply structure on the iMX OEM Carrier board is straight forward. There are two powering sources, selected via J29: 1. +5V DC via power jack (J1). 2.1mm inner diameter, 5.5mm outer diameter, center pin positive.
Page 17
Page 17 There are two voltage regulators: 3.3V/2A that is the main supply voltage for both the iMX RT1062 OEM board and the iMX OEM Carrier board. This is a buck dcdc regulator to minimize power dissipation. The regulator can be switched on/off by control signal EXT_PWR_EN.
Figure 13 – Location of Current Measurement Connectors J3 and J4 Note that the main 3.3V supply powers both the iMX RT1062 OEM board and peripherals on the iMX OEM Carrier board, like LCD, SD interface, Audio codec, CAN interface, LEDs, etc. For better discrimination and resolution of current measurement, it is possible to measure currents on the iMX RT1062 OEM board also.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 19 J6 allows measuring the internal 1.8V supply to the EcoXiP flash by measuring the voltage drop over a 20 milliohm resistor. J6 - 1.8V EcoXiP current J2 - VDD_SOC_ON current...
SP3-SP4: OEM Board Connector (SODIMM) and Access Pads The iMX RT1062 OEM board connector is a standard DDR2 SO-DIMM socket with 200 positions and 0.6mm pitch. It has 1.8V keying (which is what DDR2 stands for). The JEDEC standard defining the DDR2 SODIMM boards is called JEDEC MO-224.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 21 SP5: Push-buttons and LEDs There are four push-buttons, as presented in the picture below. The reset push-button, SW3, can be configured to control one of two different signals via JP8.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 23 SP6: Debug Interfaces There are two debug interface connectors available: J10 – this is a Cortex Debug connector. It is a 2x5 pos, 50 mil pitch connector without a shroud.
Page 24
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 24 Note about SWO trace: Note that the i.MX RT1062 MCU does not connect the SWO trace output signal on JTAG_TDO, which would be the normal (since JTAG_TDO connect to the Cortex debug connector where SWO in defined to be connected).
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 25 SP7: USB Interfaces The iMX OEM Carrier board has two USB interfaces, one USB Host and one USB OTG: The USB Host interface has a USB-A connector, J13. By default this interface has VBUS power enable always on.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 26 SP8: CAN There is one CAN interface on the board. It is connected to FLEXCAN2 and CANFD of the i.MX RT1062 (these two peripherals share the same pins vis pin multiplexing - only one can be active at the same time).
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 27 4.10 SP9: SDIO Bus and SD Memory Card Interface There is a SD memory card interface with SD card connector J15. The associated power switch is controlled by GPIO_AD_B0_05. By default this signal is active high (high = power to SD card) but can optionally be changed to active low SJ3 in 2-3 position.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 28 Due to signal integrity of the high-speed signals, three signals are not available per default at the TPx access pads described in section 4.5 . The stubs to the access pads are removed from the tracks by not having R150, R151 and R152 not mounted.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 29 4.13 SP12: UART-to-USB Bridge The UART-to-USB bridge chip (FT230XS-R from FTDI) on the iMX OEM Carrier Board connects to UART channel #1 on the i.MX RT1062. It exist to simplify connection to a PC because serial ports are not so common any more, especially not on laptops.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 30 4.14 SP13: Audio Codec The board contains an audio codec based on WM8960. The codec is controlled via I2C and audio data is transferred over the SAI bus with the I2S format.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 31 4.15 SP14-SP17: M.2 Power Supply and Control The M.2 interface is implemented over several schematic pages. The picture below illustrates the main components, connectors and jumper settings for the interface.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 32 It is possible to disconnect the SD memory card connector, J15, from the SDIO bus by removing isolation resistors R86-R91. This is typically not needed except when running the M.2 interface at very high SDIO bus frequencies. R86-R91 are found on the bottom side under the LCD.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 33 The M.2 audio interface typically comes from a Bluetooth interface. With the help of the multiplexors, the audio data can be directed to the i.MX RT or the audio codec.
RT1062 OEM Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide Page 34 4.17 Usage of CPU Pins Almost all pins of the i.MX RT1062 MCU are directly available on the SODIMM expansion connector. In a few cases are pins used for dedicated functionality like the Ethernet interface, EcoXiP interface and on-board SDRAM.

The third step is to run the just downloaded demo application. There are many tests that can be performed, one after one, to verify correct operation of individual parts of the iMX RT1062 OEM Board as well as the iMX OEM Carrier Board. While doing these tests, be sure to not have any interfering circuits connected to the access pads.
