| 3 | +Overview |
| 4 | +******** |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +The i.MX 91 Quick Start Board (MCIMX91-QSB board) is a platform designed |
| 7 | +to display the most commonly used features of the i.MX 91 Application |
| 8 | +Processor. The MCIMX91-QSB board is an entry-level development board |
| 9 | +with a small and low-cost package. The board can be used by developers |
| 10 | +to get familiar with the processor before investing a large amount of |
| 11 | +resources in more specific designs. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Hardware |
| 14 | +******** |
| 15 | + |

| 58 | +Devices |
| 59 | +======== |
| 60 | +System Clock |
| 61 | +------------ |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +This board configuration uses a system clock frequency of 24 MHz. |
| 64 | +Cortex-A55 Core runs up to 1.4 GHz. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Serial Port |
| 67 | +----------- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the |
| 70 | +CPU's UART1 for A55 core. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +Programming and Debugging |
| 73 | +******************************* |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +U-Boot "go" command is used to load and kick Zephyr to Cortex-A55 Core. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +Stop the board at U-Boot command line, then need to download Zephyr binary image into |
| 78 | +DDR memory, it can use tftp: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | + tftp 0x80000000 zephyr.bin |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | +Or copy the Zephyr image ``zephyr.bin`` to SD card and plug the card into the board, for example |
| 85 | +if copy the image to the FAT partition of the SD card, use the following U-Boot command to load |
| 86 | +the image into DDR memory (assuming the SD card is dev 1, fat partition ID is 1, they could be |
| 87 | +changed based on actual partitions): |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 90 | +
|
| 91 | + fatload mmc 1:1 0x80000000 zephyr.bin; |
| 92 | +
|
| 93 | +
|
| 94 | +Then use U-Boot to load and kick zephyr.bin to Cortex-A55 Core: |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 97 | +
|
| 98 | + dcache off; icache flush; go 0x80000000 |
| 99 | +
|
| 100 | +Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests, |
| 101 | +for example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 104 | + :zephyr-app: samples/synchronization |
| 105 | + :host-os: unix |
| 106 | + :board: imx91_qsb/mimx9111 |
| 107 | + :goals: build |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it and |
| 110 | +display the following console output: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 113 | +
