SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

The following will describe how to run

the pre-loaded Android image on the

i.MX 8M Mini EVK.

1Confirm Boot

Switches

The boot switches should be set to boot

from the eMMC. See table below

BOOT Device SW1101 SW1102

eMMC/uSDHC3 0110110001 0001010100

1 = ON 0 = OFF

2Connect USB

Debug Cable

Connect the micro-B end of a USB cable

into debug port J1701. Connect the other

end of the cable to a PC acting as a host

terminal. Two UART connections will

appear on the PC, one for M4 core, one

for A53 core. The console print will output

on “Enhanced COM port,” which can be

found in “Device Manager” of

the PC.

If the serial port is not recognized,

download and install updated drivers as

listed in the section Debug Serial Console

below.

Open the terminal window (i.e., Hyper

Terminal or Tera Term), choose the COM

port number that corresponds to the

“Enhanced COM port” or the highest

numbered port and apply the following

configuration.

• Baud rate: 115200

• Date bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Flow control: None

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM CONTINUED

3Connect HDMI

Display

The MIPI-DSI to HDMI accessory card

and mini SAS cable are needed for

evaluating HDMI.

Connect the mini-SAS cable to J801

on the EVK (MIPI DSI Connector) and

connect the other end to J5 on the MIPI

to HDMI accessory card. Connect an

HDMI cable to J2 (HDMI port) on the

MIPI to HDMI accessory card and connect

the other end to a HDMI display panel.

Figure 4: Mini-SAS cable connected to the

mini-SAS connector (J5) on the MIPI-DSI to

HDMI accessory board.

Note: Color may differ

4Connect

Mouse

Connect the mouse to J301 (USB Type-C

Port1) through the USB Type-C to A

adapter.

5Connect Power

Supply

Connect the USB Type-C plug of the

Power Supply to J302 (USB Type-C Port2),

then power up the board using switch

SW101.

Use only J302 for power delivery to the

board.

6Board

Boot Up

As the board boots up, you will see 4

penguins appear in the upper left-hand

corner of the monitor, and then you will

see the Android logo, then the Android

desktop. Congratulations, you are up and

running.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Boot Switches

SW1101, SW1102 are the boot configuration switches, the default boot device is

eMMC/uSDHC3, as shown in Table 4. If you want to try other boot devices, you need

to change the boot switches to corresponding values as listed in Table 4.

Note: 1 = ON 0 = OFF
