i.MX 8M Quad Evaluation Kit with SE050ARD

This page walks through walk installing a FoundriesFactory™ Platform image with SE050 hardware enabled onto the NXP® imx8mqevk, connected to the NXP OM-SE050ARD development platform.

Note

An image created in the Factory with 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:
