Introduction

The RT1060 application provides a working demonstration of the RT1060 board integration, built using the Project MATTER codebase and the NXP MCUX SDK.

The example targets the NXP MIMXRT1060-EVK-B board by default. It is also possible to use the older MIMXRT1060-EVK board, build and board setup instructions differ in some steps.

Supported configurations

Here are listed configurations supported on RT1060.

Matter over Wi-Fi :

• RT1060 + IW416 (Wi-Fi + BLE)
• RT1060 + 88W8801 (Wi-Fi)
• RT1060-EVK-C + IW612 (Wi-Fi + 15.4 + BLE)
• RT1060-EVK-C + IW610 (Wi-Fi + 15.4 + BLE)

Matter over Thread :

• RT1060 + K32W0 (15.4 + BLE)
• RT1060-EVK-C + IW612 (Wi-Fi + 15.4 + BLE)
• RT1060-EVK-C + IW610 (Wi-Fi + 15.4 + BLE)

Matter over Wi-Fi with Openthread Border Router support :

• RT1060 + 88W8801 + K32W0x1DK6
• RT1060-EVK-C + IW612 (Wi-Fi + 15.4 + BLE)
• RT1060-EVK-C + IW610 (Wi-Fi + 15.4 + BLE)

Hardware requirements RT1060 + transceiver

Hardware requirements RT1060+IW416

Host part:

• 1 MIMXRT1060-EVK-B or MIMXRT1060-EVK board

The hardware should be reworked according to the chapter Hardware Rework Guide for MIMXRT1060-EVK-B and AW-AM510-uSD or the chapter Hardware Rework Guide for MIMXRT1060-EVK and AW-AM510-uSD in the document Hardware Rework Guide for EdgeFast BT PAL which can be found in the NXP RT1060 SDK (docs/wireless/bluetooth/edgefast_bluetooth/Hardware Rework Guide for EdgeFast BT PAL.pdf):

• Make sure resistors R368/R376/R347/R349/R365/R363/R193/R186 are removed.

Only the SDK package downloaded from https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com contains the PDF document mentioned above, it is not present in the SDK downloaded from GitHub using the west tool.

Jumper settings for AzureWave AW-AM510-uSD Module:

• J4 1-2: VIO 1.8V (Voltage level of SD-IO pins is 1.8V)
• J2 1-2: 3.3V VIO_uSD (Power Supply from uSD connector)
• The pin 1 of J4 is not marked on the board. Please note that pin numbering of J4 is opposite to J2.

Plug AW-AM510-uSD into uSD connector J22 on MIMXRT1060-EVK-B or J39 on MIMXRT1060-EVK.

Connect the following pins between RT1060 and AW-AM510-uSD to enable Bluetooth HCI UART:

Attach external antenna into connector on AW-AM510-uSD.

Additional information about the AW-AM510-uSD can be found in the user manual UM11441 - Getting Started with NXP-based Wireless Modules and i.MX RT Platform Running RTOS, which can be found in the NXP RT1060 SDK (docs/wireless/UM11441-Getting-Started-with-NXP-based-Wireless-Modules-and-i.MX-RT-Platform-Running-on-RTOS.pdf). Only the SDK package downloaded from https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com contains the PDF document, it is not present in the SDK downloaded from GitHub using the west tool.

Hardware requirements RT1060+88W8801

Host part:

• 1 MIMXRT1060-EVK-B

Transceiver part :

• 1 88W8801 2DS M.2 Module (rev A)
• 1 Murata uSD-M.2 Adapter (rev B1)

The 88W8801 2DS M.2 Module should be inserted into the Murata uSD-M.2 Adapter and inserted in the uSD slot J22 of MIMXRT1060-EVK-B. The Murata uSD-M.2 Adapter can be powered up using uSD pins. For that, set the J1 jumper of Murata uSD-M.2 to position 2-3 (Position 2-3: VBAT supply, typical 3.1 ~ 3.3V, from microSD connector).

Note: as the 88W8801 module supports only the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band, it is mandatory to connect it to a Wi-Fi access point on the 2.4 GHz band.

  • J76 and J107 jumpers in 2-3 position.
  • J109 and J110 jumpers in 1-2 position.

Building

Make sure to follow shared build instructions from MATTER NXP Examples Guide for FreeRTOS platforms to set-up your environment.

In the following steps, the "all-clusters-app" is used as an example.

CMake Build System

The example supports configuration and build with CMake build system. You can find more information in CMake Build System section which explains how to further configure your application build.

In the west build command, the board option can be replaced with evkbmimxrt1060 for MIMXRT1060-EVK-B, or evkcmimxrt1060 for MIMXRT1060-EVK-C board.

RT1060 platform supports various transceivers based on the configuration being used. For this purpose, the dedicated transceiver Kconfig must be set correctly in the build command.

Example of build command to build the All-Clusters app with Matter-over-WiFi configuration on RT1060-EVK-C + IW612 platform :

user@ubuntu:~/Desktop/git/connectedhomeip$ west build -d build_matter -b evkcmimxrt1060 examples/all-clusters-app/nxp -DCONF_FILE_NAME=prj_wifi.conf -DCONFIG_MCUX_COMPONENT_component.wifi_bt_module.IW61X=y

Note that the RT1060 example supports various configurations that can be provided to the CONF_FILE_NAME variable, you can refer to the table of available project configuration files and platform compatibility to check all the supported configurations.

For RT1060 + K32W061 configuration, the transceiver binary build is generated automatically by the host build in third_party/nxp/nxp_matter_support/cmake/build_helpers.cmake.

Note : BLE and Matter-CLI are enabled by default in Matter applications built with CMake. To disable them, you can refer to the How to customize the CMake build section.

Manufacturing data

See Guide for writing manufacturing data on NXP devices

Other comments:

The RT1060 all cluster app demonstrates the usage of encrypted Matter manufacturing data storage. Matter manufacturing data should be encrypted before flashing them to the RT1060 flash.

For development purpose the RT1060 all cluster app code could use the hardcoded AES 128 software key. This software key should be used only during development stage.

For production usage, it is recommended to use the OTP key which needs to be fused in the RT1060 SW_GP2. The application note AN12800 should be followed to get more information. In this case the all cluster app should be updated to indicate to the DCP module to use the OTP key instead of the software key. For that the call to FactoryDataPrvdImpl().SetAes128Key() should be changed to FactoryDataPrvdImpl().SetKeySelected(KeySelect::) with the arg value specifying where the OTP key is stored (kDCP_OCOTPKeyLow for [127:0] of SW_GP2 or kDCP_OCOTPKeyHigh for [255:128] of SW_GP2). For more information the RT1060 FactoryDataProviderImpl class description should be checked.

Flashing and debugging

We recommend using JLink from Segger to flash the example application. It can be downloaded and installed from https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link. Once installed, JLink can be run to flash the application using the following steps :

$ JLink

J-Link > connect
Device> ? # you will be presented with a dialog -> select `MIMXRT1062XXX6B`
Please specify target interface:
J) JTAG (Default)
S) SWD
T) cJTAG
TIF> S
Specify target interface speed [kHz]. <Default>: 4000 kHz
Speed> # <enter>

J-Link > exec EnableEraseAllFlashBanks
J-Link > erase 0x60000000, 0x61000000

Program the application executable :

J-Link > loadfile <application_binary>

To program an application in binary format you can use the following command instead :

J-Link > loadbin <application_binary>.bin 0x60000000

Testing the example

To test the example, please make sure to check the Testing the example section from the common readme MATTER NXP Examples Guide for FreeRTOS platforms.

UART details

Testing the example with the CLI enabled will require connecting to UART1 and an additional UART, here are more details to follow for RT1060 platforms :

• UART1 : To view output on this UART, a USB cable could be plugged in.
• 2nd UART : To view output on this UART, the following pin should be plugged to an USB to UART adapter :
  • UART8 for MIMXRT1060-EVK-C board, use connector J33 pin 1.
  • UART2 for MIMXRT1060-EVK-B board, use connector J16 pin 7.
  • UART2 for MIMXRT1060-EVK board, use connector J22 pin 7.

OTA Software Update

Over-The-Air software updates are supported with the RT1060-EVKC examples. The process to follow in order to perform a software update is described in the dedicated guide 'Matter Over-The-Air Software Update with NXP RT example applications'.
