## Hardware

Platform NXP i.MX RT: The i.MX RT series of crossover processors features the Arm Cortex-M core, real-time functionality and MCU usability at a cost-effective price.

Microcontroller | MIMXRT1015DAF5A
Frequency | 500MHz
Flash | 96KB
RAM | 128KB
Vendor | NXP

## Configuration

Please use `mimxrt1015_evk` ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

    [env:mimxrt1015_evk]
    platform = nxpimxrt
    board = mimxrt1015_evk

You can override default NXP i.MX RT1015 Evaluation Kit settings per build environment using `board_***` option, where `***` is a JSON object path from board manifest mimxrt1015_evk.json. For example, `board_build.mcu`, `board_build.f_cpu`, etc.

    [env:mimxrt1015_evk]
    platform = nxpimxrt
    board = mimxrt1015_evk

    ; change microcontroller
    board_build.mcu = mimxrt1015daf5a

    ; change MCU frequency
    board_build.f_cpu = 500000000L

## Uploading

NXP i.MX RT1015 Evaluation Kit supports the next uploading protocols:

- `blackmagic`

- `jlink`

- `mbed`

Default protocol is `mbed`

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

    [env:mimxrt1015_evk]
    platform = nxpimxrt
    board = mimxrt1015_evk

    upload_protocol = mbed

## Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

NXP i.MX RT1015 Evaluation Kit has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.

Compatible Tools | On-board | Default
--- | --- | ---
Black Magic Probe |  |
J-LINK | Yes | Yes
