pulse duration between two adjacent values, such that the resulting average
frequency is more close to the intended one, at the cost of spectral purity.

The SDCard module for the mimxrt port only supports access via dedicated SD/MMC
peripheral (USDHC) in 4-bit mode with 50MHz clock frequency exclusively.
Unfortunately the MIMXRT1011 controller does not support the USDHC peripheral.
Hence this controller does not feature the ``machine.SDCard`` module.
Due to the decision to only support 4-bit mode with 50MHz clock frequency the
interface has been simplified, and the constructor signature is:
.. class:: SDCard(slot=1)
:noindex:
The pins used for the USDHC peripheral have to be configured in ``mpconfigboard.h``.
Most of the controllers supported by the mimxrt port provide up to two USDHC
peripherals. Therefore the pin configuration is performed using the macro
``MICROPY_USDHCx`` with x being 1 or 2 respectively.
The following shows an example configuration for USDHC1::
#define MICROPY_USDHC1 \
{ \
.cmd = { GPIO_SD_B0_02_USDHC1_CMD}, \
.clk = { GPIO_SD_B0_03_USDHC1_CLK }, \
.cd_b = { GPIO_SD_B0_06_USDHC1_CD_B },\
.data0 = { GPIO_SD_B0_04_USDHC1_DATA0 },\
.data1 = { GPIO_SD_B0_05_USDHC1_DATA1 },\
.data2 = { GPIO_SD_B0_00_USDHC1_DATA2 },\
.data3 = { GPIO_SD_B0_01_USDHC1_DATA3 },\
}
If the card detect pin is not used (cb_b pin) then the respective entry has to be
filled with the following dummy value::
#define USDHC_DUMMY_PIN NULL , 0
Based on the definition of macro ``MICROPY_USDHC1`` and/or ``MICROPY_USDHC2``
the ``machine.SDCard`` module either supports one or two slots. If only one of
the defines is provided, calling ``machine.SDCard()`` or ``machine.SDCard(1)``
will return an instance using the respective USDHC peripheral. When both macros
are defined, calling ``machine.SDCard(2)`` returns an instance using USDHC2.

.. currentmodule:: network
.. _network.LAN:
class LAN -- control an Ethernet module
=======================================
This class allows you to control the Ethernet interface. The PHY hardware type is board-specific.
Example usage::
import network
nic = network.LAN(0)
print(nic.ifconfig())
# now use socket as usual
...
Constructors
------------
.. class:: LAN(id, *, phy_type=<board_default>, phy_addr=<board_default>, phy_clock=<board_default>)
Create a LAN driver object, initialise the LAN module using the given
PHY driver name, and return the LAN object.
Arguments are:
- *id* is the number of the Ethernet port, either 0 or 1.
- *phy_type* is the name of the PHY driver. For most board the on-board PHY has to be used and
is the default. Suitable values are port specific.
- *phy_addr* specifies the address of the PHY interface. As with *phy_type*, the hardwired value has
to be used for most boards and that value is the default.
- *phy_clock* specifies, whether the data clock is provided by the Ethernet controller or the PYH interface.
The default value is the one that matches the board. If set to ``True``, the clock is driven by the
Ethernet controller, otherwise by the PHY interface.
For example, with the Seeed Arch Mix board you can use::
nic = LAN(0, phy_type=LAN.PHY_LAN8720, phy_addr=2, phy_clock=False)
Methods
-------
.. method:: LAN.active([state])
With a parameter, it sets the interface active if *state* is true, otherwise it
sets it inactive.
Without a parameter, it returns the state.
.. method:: LAN.isconnected()
Returns ``True`` if the physical Ethernet link is connected and up.
Returns ``False`` otherwise.
.. method:: LAN.status()
Returns the LAN status.
.. method:: LAN.ifconfig([(ip, subnet, gateway, dns)])
Get/set IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS.
When called with no arguments, this method returns a 4-tuple with the above information.
To set the above values, pass a 4-tuple with the required information. For example::
nic.ifconfig(('192.168.0.4', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '8.8.8.8'))
.. method:: LAN.config(config_parameters)
Sets or gets parameters of the LAN interface. The only parameter that can be
retrieved is the MAC address, using::
mac = LAN.config("mac")
The parameters that can be set are:
- ``trace=n`` sets trace levels; suitable values are:
- 2: trace TX
- 4: trace RX
- 8: full trace
- ``low_power=bool`` sets or clears low power mode, valid values being ``False``
or ``True``.
Specific LAN class implementations
----------------------------------
On the mimxrt port, suitable values for the *phy_type* constructor argument are:
``PHY_KSZ8081``, ``PHY_DP83825``, ``PHY_DP83848``, ``PHY_LAN8720``, ``PHY_RTL8211F``.

.. _mimxrt_general:
General information about the MIMXRT port
=========================================
The i.MXRT MCU family is a high performance family of devices made by NXP.
Based on an ARM7 core, they provide many on-chip I/O units for building
small to medium sized devices.
Multitude of boards
-------------------
There is a multitude of modules and boards from different sources which carry
an i.MXRT chip. MicroPython aims to provide a generic port which runs on
as many boards/modules as possible, but there may be limitations. The
NXP IMXRT1020-EVK and the Teensy 4.0 and Teensy 4.1 development boards are taken
as reference for the port (for example, testing is performed on them).
For any board you are using please make sure you have a data sheet, schematics
and other reference materials so you can look up any board-specific functions.
The following boards are supported by the port:
- MIMXRT1010-EVK
- MIMXRT1020-EVK
- MIMXRT1050-EVK
- MIMXRT1060-EVK
- MIMXRT1064-EVK
- Teensy 4.0
- Teensy 4.1
Supported MCUs

+-------------+--------------------+-------------------------+
| i.MX RT1010 | Cortex-M7 @500 MHz | 128 kB SRAM |
+-------------+--------------------+-------------------------+
Note: Most of the controllers do not have internal flash memory. Therefore
their flash capacity is dependent on an external flash chip.
To make a generic MIMXRT port and support as many boards as possible the
following design and implementation decision were made:
* GPIO pin numbering is based on the board numbering as well as on the
MCU numbering. Please have the manual/pin diagram of your board at hand
to find correspondence between your board pins and actual i.MXRT pins.
* All MCU pins are supported by MicroPython but not all are usable on any given board.
Technical specifications and SoC datasheets
-------------------------------------------
The data sheets and other reference material for i.MXRT chip are available
from the vendor site: https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-microcontrollers/i-mx-rt-crossover-mcus:IMX-RT-SERIES .
They are the primary reference for the chip technical specifications, capabilities,
operating modes, internal functioning, etc.
For your convenience, a few technical specifications are provided below:
* Architecture: ARM Cortex M7
* CPU frequency: up to 600MHz
* Total RAM available: up to 1 MByte (see table)
* BootROM: 96KB
* External FlashROM: code and data, via SPI Flash; usual size 2 - 8 MB
Some boards provide additional external RAM and SPI flash.
* GPIO: up to 124 (GPIOs are multiplexed with other functions, including
external FlashROM, UART, etc.)
* UART: 4 or 8 RX/TX UART. Hardware handshaking is supported by the MCU,
but the boards used for testing do not expose the signals.
* SPI: 2 or 4 low power SPI interfaces (software implementation available on every pin)
* I2C: 2 or 4 low power I2C interfaces (software implementation available on every pin)
* I2S: 3 I2S interfaces
* ADC: one or two 12-bit SAR ADC converters
* Ethernet controller
* Programming: using BootROM bootloader from USB - due to external FlashROM
and always-available BootROM bootloader, the MIMXRT is not brickable
The lower numbers for UART, SPI and I2C apply to the i.MXRT 101x MCU.
For more information see the i.MXRT data sheets or reference manuals.
NXP provides software support through it's SDK packages.

The Teensy 4.1 board.
Below is a quick reference for i.MXRT-based boards. If it is your first time
working with this board it may be useful to get an overview of the microcontroller:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
general.rst
tutorial/intro.rst
Installing MicroPython
----------------------
See the corresponding section of tutorial: :ref:`mimxrt_intro`. It also includes
a troubleshooting subsection.
General board control
---------------------
The MicroPython REPL is on the USB port, configured in VCP mode.
Tab-completion is useful to find out what methods an object has.
Paste mode (ctrl-E) is useful to paste a large slab of Python code into
the REPL.
The :mod:`machine` module::
import machine
machine.freq() # get the current frequency of the CPU
Delay and timing
----------------
Use the :mod:`time <time>` module::
import time
time.sleep(1) # sleep for 1 second
time.sleep_ms(500) # sleep for 500 milliseconds
time.sleep_us(10) # sleep for 10 microseconds
start = time.ticks_ms() # get millisecond counter
delta = time.ticks_diff(time.ticks_ms(), start) # compute time difference
Timers
------
The i.MXRT port has three hardware timers. Use the :ref:`machine.Timer <machine.Timer>` class
with a timer ID from 0 to 2 (inclusive)::
from machine import Timer
tim0 = Timer(0)
tim0.init(period=5000, mode=Timer.ONE_SHOT, callback=lambda t:print(0))
tim1 = Timer(1)
tim1.init(period=2000, mode=Timer.PERIODIC, callback=lambda t:print(1))
The period is in milliseconds.
Virtual timers are not currently supported on this port.
.. _mimxrt_Pins_and_GPIO:
Pins and GPIO
-------------
Use the :ref:`machine.Pin <machine.Pin>` class::
from machine import Pin
p0 = Pin('D0', Pin.OUT) # create output pin on GPIO0
p0.on() # set pin to "on" (high) level
p0.off() # set pin to "off" (low) level
p0.value(1) # set pin to on/high
p2 = Pin('D2', Pin.IN) # create input pin on GPIO2
print(p2.value()) # get value, 0 or 1
p4 = Pin('D4', Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP) # enable internal pull-up resistor
p5 = Pin('D5', Pin.OUT, value=1) # set pin high on creation
p6 = Pin(pin.cpu.GPIO_B1_15, Pin.OUT) # Use the cpu pin name.
Available Pins follow the ranges and labelling of the respective board, like:
- 0-33 for Teensy 4.0,
- 0-21 for the MIMXRT10xx-EVK board, or 'D0-Dxx', or 'A0-Ann',
- 0-14 for the Olimex RT1010Py board, or 'D0'-'Dxx' and 'A0'-'Ann'
- 'J3_xx', 'J4_xx', 'J5_xx' for the Seeed ARCH MIX board,
or the pin names of the Pin.board or Pin.cpu classes.
Notes:
* The MIMXRT1xxx-EVK boards may have other on-board devices connected to these
pins, limiting it's use for input or output.
* At the MIMXRT1010_EVK, pins D4, D5 and D9 of the Arduino connector are by
default not connected to the MCU. For details refer to the schematics.
* At the MIMXRT1170_EVK board, the inner rows of the Arduino connectors are assigned as follows:
- D16 - D23: J9, odd pin numbers; D17 is by default not connected.
- D24 - D27: J26, odd pin numbers; J63-J66 have to be closed to enable these pins.
- D29 - D36: J25, odd pin numbers; D29 and D30 are by default not connected.
There's a higher-level abstraction :ref:`machine.Signal <machine.Signal>`
which can be used to invert a pin. Useful for illuminating active-low LEDs
using ``on()`` or ``value(1)``.
UART (serial bus)
-----------------
See :ref:`machine.UART <machine.UART>`. ::
from machine import UART
uart1 = UART(1, baudrate=115200)
uart1.write('hello') # write 5 bytes
uart1.read(5) # read up to 5 bytes
The i.MXRT has up to eight hardware UARTs, but not every board exposes all
TX and RX pins for users. The pin assignment of UARTs to pins is fixed.
The UARTs are numbered 1..8. The rx/tx pins are assigned according to the
tables below:

PWM (pulse width modulation)
----------------------------
The i.MXRT has up to four dedicated PWM modules with four FLEXPWM submodules each
and up to four QTMR modules with four channels, which can be used to generate
a PWM signal or signal pair.
The PWM functions are provided by the :ref:`machine.PWM <machine.PWM>` class.
It supports all basic methods listed for that class and a few additional methods for
handling signal groups. ::
# Samples for Teensy
#
from machine import Pin, PWM
pwm2 = PWM(Pin(2)) # create PWM object from a pin
pwm2.freq() # get current frequency
pwm2.freq(1000) # set frequency
pwm2.duty_u16() # get current duty cycle, range 0-65535
pwm2.duty_u16(200) # set duty cycle, range 0-65535
pwm2.deinit() # turn off PWM on the pin
# create a complementary signal pair on Pin 2 and 3
pwm2 = PWM((2, 3), freq=2000, duty_ns=20000)
# Create a group of four synchronized signals.
# Start with Pin(4) at submodule 0, which creates the sync pulse.
pwm4 = PWM(Pin(4), freq=1000, align=PWM.HEAD)
# Pins 5, 6, and 9 are pins at the same module
pwm5 = PWM(Pin(5), freq=1000, duty_u16=10000, align=PWM.HEAD, sync=True)
pwm6 = PWM(Pin(6), freq=1000, duty_u16=20000, align=PWM.HEAD, sync=True)
pwm9 = PWM(Pin(9), freq=1000, duty_u16=30000, align=PWM.HEAD, sync=True)
pwm3 # show the PWM objects properties
PWM Constructor
```````````````
.. class:: PWM(dest, freq, duty_u16, duty_ns, *, center, align, invert, sync, xor, deadtime)
:noindex:
Construct and return a new PWM object using the following parameters:
- *dest* is the entity on which the PWM is output, which is usually a
:ref:`machine.Pin <machine.Pin>` object, but a port may allow other values,
like integers or strings, which designate a Pin in the machine.PIN class.
*dest* is either a single object or a two element object tuple.
If the object tuple is specified, the two pins act in complementary
mode. These two pins must be the A/B channels of the same submodule.
PWM objects are either provided by a FLEXPWM module or a QTMR module.
The i.MXRT devices have either two or four FLEXPWM and QTMR modules.
Each FLEXPWM module has four submodules with three channels, each,
called A, B and X. Each QTMR module has four channels.
Each FLEXPWM submodule or QTMR channel may be set to different parameters.
Not every channel is routed to a board pin. Details are listed below.
Setting *freq* affects the three channels of the same FLEXPWM submodule.
Only one of *duty_u16* and *duty_ns* should be specified at a time.
Keyword arguments:
- *freq* should be an integer which sets the frequency in Hz for the
PWM cycle. The valid frequency range is 15 Hz resp. 18Hz resp. 24Hz up to > 1 MHz.
- *duty_u16* sets the duty cycle as a ratio ``duty_u16 / 65536``.
The duty cycle of a X channel can only be changed, if the A and B channel
of the respective submodule is not used. Otherwise the duty_16 value of the
X channel is 32768 (50%).
- *duty_ns* sets the pulse width in nanoseconds. The limitation for X channels
apply as well.
- *center*\=value. An integer sets the center of the pulse within the pulse period.
The range is 0-65535. The resulting pulse will last from center - duty_u16/2 to
center + duty_u16/2.
- *align*\=value. Shortcuts for the pulse center setting, causing the pulse either at
the center of the frame (value=0), the leading edge at the begin (value=1) or the
trailing edge at the end of a pulse period (value=2).
- *invert*\=True|False channel_mask. Setting a bit in the mask inverts the respective channel.
Bit 0 inverts the first specified channel, bit 2 the second. The default is 0.
- *sync*\=True|False. If a channel of a module's submodule 0 is already active, other
submodules of the same module can be forced to be synchronous to submodule 0. Their
pulse period start then at at same clock cycle. The default is False.
- *xor*\=0|1|2. If set to 1 or 2, the channel will output the XOR'd signal from channels
A or B. If set to 1 on channel A or B, both A and B will show the same signal. If set
to 2, A and B will show alternating signals. For details and an illustration, please
refer to the MCU's reference manual, chapter "Double Switching PWMs".
- *deadtime*\=time_ns. This setting affects complementary channels and defines a deadtime
between an edge of a first channel and the edge of the next channel, in which both
channels are set to low. That allows connected H-bridges to switch off one side
of a push-pull driver before switching on the other side.
PWM Methods
```````````
The methods are identical to the generic :ref:`machine.PWM <machine.PWM>` class,
with additional keyword arguments to the init() method, matchings those of the constructor.
Each FLEX submodule or QTMR module may run at different frequencies. The PWM signal
is created by dividing the pwm_clk signal by an integral factor, according to the formula::
f = pwm_clk / (2**n * m)
with n being in the range of 0..7, and m in the range of 2..65536. pmw_clk is 125Mhz
for MIMXRT1010/1015/1020, 150 MHz for MIMXRT1050/1060/1064 and 160MHz for MIMXRT1170.
The lowest frequency is pwm_clk/2**23 (15, 18, 20Hz). The highest frequency with
U16 resolution is pwm_clk/2**16 (1907, 2288, 2441 Hz), the highest frequency
with 1 percent resolution is pwm_clk/100 (1.25, 1.5, 1.6 MHz). The highest achievable
frequency is pwm_clk/3 for the A/B channels, and pwm_clk/2 for the X channels and QTMR
signal.
PWM Pin Assignment

Pins are specified in the same way as for the Pin class. The following tables show
the assignment of the board Pins to PWM modules:

Pins without a PWM signal are not listed. A signal may be available at more
than one Pin. FlexPWM pins may also be pure CPU pin, not assigned to a board
signal. In that case the PWM output is disabled. The PWM channel of a submodule
0 may still be used as synchronization source for other channels of the same

(*) Pin used for SDRAM
ADC (analog to digital conversion)
----------------------------------
On the i.MXRT ADC functionality is available on Pins labeled 'Ann'.
Use the :ref:`machine.ADC <machine.ADC>` class::
from machine import ADC
adc = ADC(Pin(32)) # create ADC object on ADC pin
adc.read_u16() # read value, 0-65536 across voltage range 0.0v - 3.3v
The resolution of the ADC is 12 bit with 10 to 11 bit accuracy, irrespective of the
value returned by read_u16(). If you need a higher resolution or better accuracy, use
an external ADC.
Software SPI bus
----------------
Software SPI (using bit-banging) works on all pins, and is accessed via the
:ref:`machine.SoftSPI <machine.SoftSPI>` class. ::
from machine import Pin, SoftSPI
# construct a SoftSPI bus on the given pins
# polarity is the idle state of SCK
# phase=0 means sample on the first edge of SCK, phase=1 means the second
spi = SoftSPI(baudrate=100000, polarity=1, phase=0, sck=Pin(0), mosi=Pin(2), miso=Pin(4))
spi.init(baudrate=200000) # set the baudrate
spi.read(10) # read 10 bytes on MISO
spi.read(10, 0xff) # read 10 bytes while outputting 0xff on MOSI
buf = bytearray(50) # create a buffer
spi.readinto(buf) # read into the given buffer (reads 50 bytes in this case)
spi.readinto(buf, 0xff) # read into the given buffer and output 0xff on MOSI
spi.write(b'12345') # write 5 bytes on MOSI
buf = bytearray(4) # create a buffer
spi.write_readinto(b'1234', buf) # write to MOSI and read from MISO into the buffer
spi.write_readinto(buf, buf) # write buf to MOSI and read MISO back into buf
The highest supported baud rate is 500000.
Hardware SPI bus
----------------
There are up to four hardware SPI channels that allow faster transmission
rates (up to 90Mhz). The SPI signals have fixed assignments to GPIO pins.
It depends on the board design, which SPI's signals are exposed to the user, as
detailed in the table below. The signal order in the table is: CS0, CS1, MOSI, MISO, CLK.

Pins denoted with (*) are by default not wired at the board.
Hardware SPI is accessed via the :ref:`machine.SPI <machine.SPI>` class and
has the same methods as software SPI above::
from machine import SPI
spi = SPI(0, 10000000)
spi.write('Hello World')
Notes:
1. Even if the highest supported baud rate at the moment is 90 Mhz,
setting a baud rate will not always result in exactly that
frequency, especially at high baud rates.
2. Sending at 90 MHz is possible, but in the tests receiving
only worked up to 60 MHz.
Software I2C bus
----------------
Software I2C (using bit-banging) works on all output-capable pins, and is
accessed via the :ref:`machine.SoftI2C <machine.SoftI2C>` class::
from machine import Pin, SoftI2C
i2c = SoftI2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4), freq=100000)
i2c.scan() # scan for devices
i2c.readfrom(0x3a, 4) # read 4 bytes from device with address 0x3a
i2c.writeto(0x3a, '12') # write '12' to device with address 0x3a
buf = bytearray(10) # create a buffer with 10 bytes
i2c.writeto(0x3a, buf) # write the given buffer to the slave
The highest supported freq is 400000.
Hardware I2C bus
----------------
There are up to four hardware I2C channels that allow faster transmission rates
and support the full I2C protocol. The I2C signals have fixed assignments to GPIO pins.
It depends on the board design, which I2C's signals are exposed to the user, as
detailed in the table below. The signal order in the table is: SDA, SCL.

from machine import I2C
i2c = I2C(0, 400_000)
i2c.writeto(0x76, b"Hello World")
I2S bus
-------
See :ref:`machine.I2S <machine.I2S>`. Example using a Teensy 4.1 board with a simple
external Codec like UDA1334.::
from machine import I2S, Pin
i2s = I2S(2, sck=Pin(26), ws=Pin(27), sd=Pin(7),
mode=I2S.TX, bts=16,format=I2S.STEREO,
rate=44100,ibuf=40000)
i2s.write(buf) # write buffer of audio samples to I2S device
Example for using I2S with a MIMXRT10xx_DEV board::
from machine import I2S, I2C, Pin
import wm8960
i2c=I2C(0)
wm=wm8960.WM8960(i2c, sample_rate=SAMPLE_RATE_IN_HZ,
adc_sync=wm8960.sync_dac,
swap=wm8960.swap_input)
i2s = I2S(1, sck=Pin("SCK_TX"), ws=Pin("WS_TX"), sd=Pin("SD_RX"),
mck=Pin("MCK),mode=I2S.RX, bts=16,format=I2S.MONO,
rate=32000,ibuf=10000)
i2s.readinto(buf) # fill buffer with audio samples from I2S device
In this example, the input channels are swapped in the WM8960 driver, since the
on-board microphone is connected to the right channel, but mono audio is taken
from the left channel. Note, that the sck and ws pins are connected to the TX
signals of the I2S bus. That is intentional, since at the MW8960 codec these
signals are shared for RX and TX.
Example using the Teensy audio shield::
from machine import I2C, I2S, Pin
from sgtl5000 import CODEC
i2s = I2S(1, sck=Pin(21), ws=Pin(20), sd=Pin(7), mck=Pin(23),
mode=I2S.TX, bits=16,rate=44100,format=I2S.STEREO,
ibuf=40000,
)
# configure the SGTL5000 codec
i2c = I2C(0, freq=400000)
codec = CODEC(0x0A, i2c)
codec.mute_dac(False)
codec.dac_volume(0.9, 0.9)
codec.headphone_select(0)
codec.mute_headphone(False)
codec.volume(0.7, 0.7)
i2s.write(buf) # write buffer of audio samples to I2S device
The SGTL5000 codec used by the Teensy Audio shield uses the RX signals for both
RX and TX. Note that the codec is initialized after the I2S device. That is
essential since MCK is needed for its I2C operation and is provided by the I2S
controller.
MIMXRT boards may have 1 or 2 I2S buses available at the board connectors.
On MIMXRT1010 devices the bus numbers are 1 and 3.

Symbolic pin names are provided for the MIMXRT_10xx_DEV boards.
These are provided for the other boards as well.
Real time clock (RTC)
---------------------
See :ref:`machine.RTC <machine.RTC>`::
from machine import RTC
rtc = RTC()
rtc.datetime((2017, 8, 23, 1, 12, 48, 0, 0)) # set a specific date and time
rtc.datetime() # get date and time
rtc.now() # return date and time in CPython format.
The i.MXRT MCU supports battery backup of the RTC. By connecting a battery of
1.5-3.6V, time and date are maintained in the absence of the main power. The
current drawn from the battery is ~20µA, which is rather high. A CR2032 coin
cell will last for about one year.
SD card
-------
See :ref:`machine.SDCard <machine.SDCard>`::
import machine, os
sd = machine.SDCard()
fs = os.VfsFat(sd)
os.mount(fs, "/sd") # mount
os.listdir('/sd') # list directory contents
os.umount('/sd') # eject
Note: The i.mx-rt 1011 and 1015 based boards do not support the ``machine.SDCard``
class. For these, the SPI based driver ``sdcard.py`` from the MicroPython drivers
can be used. When using it, you have to overdrive the CS pin of the SPI hardware
module. Example::
import os, sdcard, machine
cs_pin = "D10"
spi = machine.SPI(0) # SPI0 with cs at Pin "D10" used for SDCARD
cs = machine.Pin(cs_pin, machine.Pin.OUT, value=1)
sd = sdcard.SDCard(spi, cs)
vfs = os.VfsFat(sd)
os.mount(vfs, "/sdcard")
OneWire driver
--------------
The OneWire driver is implemented in software and works on all pins::
from machine import Pin
import onewire
ow = onewire.OneWire(Pin(12)) # create a OneWire bus on GPIO12
ow.scan() # return a list of devices on the bus
ow.reset() # reset the bus
ow.readbyte() # read a byte
ow.writebyte(0x12) # write a byte on the bus
ow.write('123') # write bytes on the bus
ow.select_rom(b'12345678') # select a specific device by its ROM code
There is a specific driver for DS18S20 and DS18B20 devices::
import time, ds18x20
ds = ds18x20.DS18X20(ow)
roms = ds.scan()
ds.convert_temp()
time.sleep_ms(750)
for rom in roms:
print(ds.read_temp(rom))
Be sure to put a 4.7k pull-up resistor on the data line. Note that
the ``convert_temp()`` method must be called each time you want to
sample the temperature.
DHT driver
----------
The DHT driver is implemented in software and works on all pins::
import dht
import machine
d = dht.DHT11(machine.Pin(4))
d.measure()
d.temperature() # eg. 23 (°C)
d.humidity() # eg. 41 (% RH)
d = dht.DHT22(machine.Pin(4))
d.measure()
d.temperature() # eg. 23.6 (°C)
d.humidity() # eg. 41.3 (% RH)
Be sure to have a 4.7k pull-up resistor on the data line. Some
DHT modules may already have one.
Ethernet driver
---------------
All MIMXRT boards except the MIMXRT1011 based boards and Teensy 4.0 support
Ethernet. Example usage::
import network
lan = network.LAN(0)
lan.active(True)
If there is a DHCP server in the LAN, the IP address is supplied by that server.
Otherwise, the IP address can be set with lan.ifconfig(). The default address
is 192.168.0.1.
Teensy 4.1 does not have an Ethernet jack on the board, but PJRC offers an
adapter for self-assembly. The Seeed ARCH MIX board has no PHY hardware on the
board, however you can attach external PHY interfaces. By default, the firmware
for Seeed Arch Mix uses the driver for a LAN8720 PHY. The MIMXRT1170_EVK is
equipped with two Ethernet ports, which are addressed as LAN(0) for the 100M
port and LAN(1) for the 1G port.
For details of the network interface refer to the class :ref:`network.LAN <network.LAN>`.
Transferring files
------------------
Files can be transferred to the i.MXRT devices for instance with the ``mpremote``
tool or using an SD card. If Ethernet is available, you can also use ftp.
See the MicroPython forum for the FTP server or other community-supported
alternatives to transfer files to an i.MXRT board, like rshell or Thonny.

Getting started with MicroPython on the i.MXRT
==============================================
Using MicroPython is a great way to get the most of your i.MXRT board. And
vice versa, the i.MXRT chip is a great platform for using MicroPython. This
tutorial will guide you through setting up MicroPython, getting a prompt, using
the hardware peripherals, and controlling some external components.
Let's get started!
Requirements
------------
The first thing you need is a board with an i.MXRT chip. The MicroPython
software supports the i.MXRT chip itself and any board should work. The main
characteristic of a board is how the GPIO pins are connected to the outside
world, and whether it includes a built-in USB-serial converter to make the
UART available to your PC.
Names of pins will be given in this tutorial using the chip names (eg GPIO2)
and it should be straightforward to find which pin this corresponds to on your
particular board.
Powering the board
------------------
If your board has a USB connector on it then most likely it is powered through
this when connected to your PC. Otherwise you will need to power it directly.
Please refer to the documentation for your board for further details.
Getting the firmware
--------------------
Firmware versions are provided at the
`MicroPython download page <https://micropython.org/download/?port=mimxrt>`_.
You can download the most recent MicroPython firmware .hex or .bin file to load
onto your i.MXRT device. From that download page you have two main choices:
* stable firmware builds
* daily firmware builds
If you are just starting with MicroPython, the best bet is to go for the stable
firmware builds. If you are an advanced, experienced MicroPython i.MXRT user
who would like to follow development closely and help with testing new
features, there are daily builds.
Deploying the firmware
----------------------
Once you have the MicroPython firmware you need to load it onto your
i.MXRT device. The exact procedure for these steps is highly dependent
on the particular board and you will need to refer to its documentation
for details.
Teensy 4.0 and 4.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Teensy 4.0 and 4.1 you have to use the built-in loader together with the PC
loader provided by PJRC. The built-in loader will be activated by pushing the
button on the board. Then you can upload the firmware with the command::
teensy_loader_cli --mcu=imxrt1062 -v -w firmware.hex
IMXRT10xx-EVK boards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The IMXRT10xx-EVK boards have a second USB port connected to a support MCU.
Connecting that USB port to your PC will register a disk drive with the name of
the board. Just copy the firmware.bin file to this drive, and that will start
the flashing procedure. You will know that the flash was complete, if that
drive disappears and reappears. If you decided to install the very useful
Segger open-SDA firmware on that sidekick MCU, then you have to use the debugger
software to upload the i.MXRT firmware.
Seed ARCH MIX board

Firmware upload to the Seed ARCH MIX board is less convenient. The vendor
suggests using J-Link as a method and tool. For that, follow the instructions
given by Seed in their Wiki at
https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Arch_Mix/#flashing-arduino-bootloader-to-arch-mix.
You will need a J-Link debug probe and software. You may find Segger JLink edu
or Segger JLink edu mini convenient. As a matching loader you can use
JFlashLite. The target address for loading is 0x60000000.
The MIMXRT family also support a serial upload method. The software for serial
upload is provided by NXP. The steps to use it are:
- Connect J3, Pin 19 to 3.3V (GPIO_AD_B0_05).
- Change the DIP-Switch settings from off-off-on-off to off-off-off-on
- Push Reset
- Run the upload with: ./FLASH.sh <firmware_image_file name>
- Once the upload has finished, set the DIP-switch back to off-off-on-off.
- Remove the Jumper to J3, Pin19 and push reset
To avoid running the Flash loader as superuser, you can copy the provided udev-rules
script to /etc/udev/rules.d/. FLASH.sh calls two binaries, blhost and sdphost,
which are provided by NXP under the BSD-3-Clause License. A version of these
binaries and the script can be downloaded at
https://github.com/robert-hh/Shared-Stuff/blob/master/mimxrt_serial_downloader.zip.
Serial downloading can be used for the NXP MIMXRT boards as well. But the built-in loader
is much more convenient to use.
Serial prompt
-------------
Once you have the firmware on the device you can access the REPL (Python prompt)
over USB.
From there you can follow the i.MXRT tutorial.
Troubleshooting installation problems
-------------------------------------
If you experience problems during flashing or with running firmware immediately
after it, here are some troubleshooting recommendations:
* Be aware of and try to exclude hardware problems. There are two common
problems: bad power source quality, and worn-out/defective Flash ROM.
Speaking of power source, not just raw amperage is important, but also low
ripple and noise/EMI in general. The most reliable and convenient power
source is a USB port.
