i.MX 8MPlus Evaluation Kit with SE050ARD

This document walks a developer through the steps of installing a FoundriesFactory image with the SE050 hardware enabled onto the NXP imx8mp-lpddr4-evk that is connected to the NXP OM-SE050ARD development platform.

Note

An image created in the factory with the SE050 enabled does not boot on boards without the SE050 properly attached.

Attaching the SE050

Using four male to male jumper wires (Arduino Compatible Pin size) connect the two boards as follows:

Fig. 34 imx8mp-lpddr4-evk

Fig. 35 imx8mp-lpddr4-evk i2c pinout

Fig. 36 SE050ARD

Connect the signals as follows:

Signal	imx8mp-lpddr4-evk	OM-SE050ARD
SCL	J22 pin 3	J2 pin 10
SDA	J22 pin 5	J2 pin 9
VDD_3V3	J22 pin 1	J8 pin 4
GND	J22 pin 7	J2 pin 7

Be sure that the jumpers on the SE050 evaluation board are set as follows:

Lastly, the connected boards should look like this:

Installing the FoundriesFactory Image

Download the images that have the SE050 enabled from the factory following the instructions in i.MX 8M Plus Evaluation Kit.

Note

A reference on the needed changes to enable the SE050 middleware can be found in Enabling SE05X.
