i.MX 8M Mini/Nano Evaluation Kit with SE050ARD

This page walks through installing a SE050 hardware enabled FoundriesFactory™ Platform image onto an NXP® imx8mm-lpddr4-evk or imx8mn-ddr4-evk, connected to the NXP OM-SE050ARD development platform.

Note

An image created in a Factory with the SE050 enabled will 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 shown:

Connect the signals as follows:

Signal 8MMINI-BB OM-SE050ARD
SCL J1004 pin 3 J2 pin 10
SDA J1004 pin 5 J2 pin 9
VDD_3V3 J1004 pin 1 J8 pin 4
GND J1004 pin 7 J2 pin 7

Alternatively, use J22 on OM-SE050ARD:

Signal 8MMINI-BB OM-SE050ARD
SCL J1004 pin 3 J22 pin 4
SDA J1004 pin 5 J22 pin 1
VDD_3V3 J1004 pin 1 J22 pin 2
GND J1004 pin 7 J22 pin 3

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

The connected boards should look like this:

Installing the FoundriesFactory Image

Download the images that have the SE050 enabled from the Factory. Follow the instructions in i.MX 8M Mini Evaluation Kit or i.MX 8M Nano Evaluation Kit —depending on the hardware used.

Note

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