BASEplatform Bring-Up on the Toradex Colibri iMX7

This article will go over some aspects of the early bring-up experience using the BASEplatform™ on the Toradex Colibri iMX7 System on Module (SoM). It will also cover features and advantages of the Colibri SoM for embedded developers interested in using an RTOS or a bare-metal environment on the NXP i.MX7 SoC. The BASEplatform is

i.MX7D M4 Bare-Metal Bring-up and Benchmark

Following up on the last piece about the NXP i.MX 7, this article looks at the ARM Cortex-M4 companion of the Cortex-A7 present in the i.MX 7. Or to put it another way, a Kinetis-on-chip since it’s very similar to a high-end Cortex-M4 based Kinetis. This article summarizes my experience writing a brand new bare

i.MX7D Sabre Bare-Metal Bring-up and Benchmark

One of our specialties at JBLopen is board bring-up, either for bare metal or various commercial and open source RTOSes. Despite the number of different platforms, CPU architectures and RTOSes out there, low level bring-up, BSP and driver development are rarely discussed in blogs and articles on the web. The same can be said about
