The RT1176 has two cores, but the actual firmware supports only the CM7.
There are currently no good plans on how to use the CM4.
The actual MIMXRT1170_EVK board is on par with the existing MIMXRT boards,
with the following extensions:
- Use 64 MB RAM for the heap.
- Support both LAN interfaces as LAN(0) and LAN(1), with LAN(1)
being the 1GB interface.
The dual LAN port interface can eventually be adapted as well for the
RT1062 MCU.
This work was done in collaboration with @alphaFred.
The nxp_driver v2.10 allows for/requires some changes to the code:
- Remove some part of pwm_backlog.*, which is provided by the lib now.
- Change eth.c: the newer versions have additional parameters of the
library versions.
- Change sdcard.c: use TransferBlocking instead of TransferNonblocking.
- Add some support for the MIMXRT1176 device.
- Set the clocks for UART, I2C, Timer.
- Integrate the I2S module and fix a rebase error.
- Use blocking transfer only for SPI. It's faster and interferes less with
other modules.
- Use the clock_config.c files of library v2.8.5. The mimxrt files keeps
the clock_config.c files from Verson 2.8.5. With clock_config.c from
v2.10, the boards do not work. Refactoring of the clock set-up is on the
to-do list.
- Enable expiry timers for UART, I2C and SPI, avoiding a stall in library
code.
- The clock_config.* files are moved from the board-specific directories to
the boards directory and given a MCU related name.
This commit adds support for machine.I2S on the mimxrt port. The I2S API
is consistent with the existing stm32, esp32, and rp2 implementations.
I2S features:
- controller transmit and controller receive
- 16-bit and 32-bit sample sizes
- mono and stereo formats
- sampling frequencies from 8kHz to 48kHz
- 3 modes of operation:
- blocking
- non-blocking with callback
- uasyncio
- configurable internal buffer
- optional MCK
Tested with the following development boards:
- MIMXRT1010_EVK, MIMXRT1015_EVK, MIMXRT1020_EVK, MIMXRT1050_EVK
- Teensy 4.0, Teensy 4.1
- Olimex RT1010
- Seeed ARCH MIX
Tested with the following I2S hardware peripherals:
- UDA1334
- GY-SPH0645LM4H
- WM8960 codec on board the MIMXRT boards and separate breakout board
- INMP441
- PCM5102
- SGTL5000 on the Teensy audio shield

The board.json file is intentionally excluded, until the board will be
sold. But including it into the mimxrt series make it easier to keep
the build up-to-date.
