Note to CM4/CM0+ core execution

The target MCU is a dual core consisting of Cortex M4 and Cortex M0+ cores. The MCU boots by running CM4 core by default, so the cm4 example projects will run without any change. The cm0plus examples will not run automatically. You should be able to use a debugger session (tested in IAR EWARM IDE) to upload the compiled code to MCU RAM and start the CM0+ core to execute it. In a typical application, the CM4 core will boot and will set up the execution environment for the CM0+ core. Alternatively, you can set the CM0+ core to be the default booting core as described at https://wiki.segger.com/K32W#Boot_ROM. In any case, make sure that only one of the cores will access the communication peripheral module and will handle the FreeMASTER communication.

Board settings

No special settings are required. By default this demo communicates over a virtual serial line interface of the debugger USB connection. With a proper RS232 transceiver and pin configuration, it may also connect to microcontroller UART peripheral.

Multi-core considerations

There are example applications prepared for both CM4 and CM7 cores of the RT116x target platform. The debugger is typically able to load and run the code on any of the cores, but only one core is default (CM7) and will run automatically after reset. This means that the flash-based targets (and both Debug and Release targets on MCUXpresso IDE) are only usable on the default core.
