Check the Board Configuration

The board should have been pre-configured during manufacturing, but we will double check it together as an exercise:

  • Press firmly down on the SOM with equal pressure on both sides to ensure that it is seated properly

  • Check that the boot switch S5 is set to boot the system from QSPI Flash.

Power the Board

  • Use the included USB-C 5V power supply to provide power to the phyCORE-RT1170 development kit’s X9 power connector. The system will automatically boot.

Run the Blinky Demo

The phyCORE-RT1170 development kit comes preprogrammed with a demo that will initiate the LEDs on the carrier board (LED1/LED2) and the LEDS on the SOM to flash when plugged in.

Safe Shutdown

Before removing power from the development kit, you must make sure that the operating system has safely shutdown.

  • Press and hold the power button S3. Hold until the LEDs on the carrier board power off.
