# 2. Build and flash

## 2.1 Build

flash_debug:

$ cd mcu-sdk-3.0
$ west build -b rdrw612bga examples/coex_examples/coex_wifi_central_ht --toolchain armgcc --config=flash_debug -d coex_wifi_central_ht

flash_release

$ cd mcu-sdk-3.0
$ west build -b rdrw612bga examples/coex_examples/coex_wifi_central_ht --toolchain armgcc --config=flash_release -d coex_wifi_central_ht

NOTE:

1. -d coex_wifi_central_ht -> Specify the generated project path. Can name it as needed.

2. Find coex_wifi_central_ht.elf/coex_wifi_central_ht.bin in coex_wifi_central_ht folder.

3. Only support armgcc to build coex application.

## 2.3 Flash Binaries

Flash the image with the following command,

##### CMD to write CPU3 coex app image to flash in J-link window:
J-Link> loadbin C:\xxx\coex_wifi_central_ht.bin, 0x08000000

NOTE:

Monolithic feature is default enabled, this means it’s no need to flash binaries manually.

If disable Wi-Fi or BLE monolithic feature, download firmware manually.

SB firmware path: mcu-sdk-3.0/components/conn_fwloader/fw_bin

##### CMD to write CPU1 wifi image to flash in J-link window:
J-Link> loadbin C:\xxx\rw61x_sb_wifi_a2.bin,0x08400000
##### CMD to write CPU2 ble to flash in J-link window:
J-Link> loadbin C:\xxx\rw61x_sb_ble_a2.bin,0x08540000

3. Run

## 3.1 Prepare the Demo

1. Connect a micro USB cable between the PC host and the MCU-Link USB port (J7) on the board.

2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

   • 115200 baud rate

   • 8 data bits

   • No parity

   • One stop bit

   • No flow control

3. Download the program to the target board.

4. Launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the example.

## 3.2 Running the example

The log below shows the output of the coex examples (based on edgefast-shell) in the terminal window:

2. BLE Test

NOTE:

No need enter any BLE commands.

The demo does not require user interaction. The application will automatically start advertising the Health Thermometer Service and it will accept the first connection request it receives. If the peer subscribes to receive temperature indications, these will be sent every 1 second. The temperature readings are simulated with values between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.

3. Low power manager test

Enter ‘p’ to enter pm command mode. Enter ‘0’ to return coex menu.

Only support enable command now.

MIMXRT1060-EVKC

Overview

This document provides step-by-step procedures to build and test coex examples, and also instructions for running the included sample applications.

Hardware requirements

• Micro USB cable

• evkcmimxrt1060 board

• Personal Computer

The hardware should be reworked according to the hardware rework guide for evkcmimxrt1060 and Murata 1XK/1ZM/2EL/2LL M.2 Adapter in document Hardware Rework Guide for EdgeFast BT PAL.

NOTE:

1. To ensure that the LITTLEFS flash region has been cleaned, all flash sectors need to be erased before downloading example code.

2. After downloaded binary into qspiflash and boot from qspiflash directly, please reset the board by pressing SW7 or power off and on the board to run the application.

3. Nighthwak BT UART Rework (LPUART3)

• Mount R93, R96

• Remove R193

• Connect J109, J76 2-3

4. WiFi and BLE use LPUART.

Build and flash

Prerequisites:

• CMake (version >=3.24)

• Ninja (version >=1.12)

• ARM GCC Toolchain (only support ARM GCC)

• Python3 (version >=3.6)

NOTE: Make sure that the paths of all these tools are set into the path system variable.

2. Building

flexspi_nor_debug:

$ cd <sdk root>
$ west build -b evkcmimxrt1060 examples/coex_examples/coex_wifi_central_ht --toolchain armgcc --config flexspi_nor_debug -d coex_wifi_central_ht

flexspi_nor_release:

$ cd <sdk root>
$ west build -b evkcmimxrt1060 examples/coex_examples/coex_wifi_central_ht --toolchain armgcc --config flexspi_nor_release -d coex_wifi_central_ht

NOTE:

1. -d coex_wifi_central_ht -> Specify the generated project path. Can name it as needed.

2. Find coex_wifi_central_ht.elf/coex_wifi_central_ht.bin in coex_wifi_central_ht folder.

3. Only support armgcc to build coex application.

4. CSI and NET_MONITOR are disabled by default due to RAM limitation. If to test CSI and NET_MONITOR, enable them and disable enterprise in wifi_config.h. Modify middleware/wireless/coex/src/configs//wifi/wifi_config.h: Enable CSI and NET_MONITOR: #define CONFIG_CSI 1 #define CONFIG_NET_MONITOR 1 Disable enterprise: #define CONFIG_WPA_SUPP_CRYPTO_ENTERPRISE 0 #define CONFIG_WPA_SUPP_CRYPTO_AP_ENTERPRISE 0

4. Flash Binaries
