2. Carrier Main Board

The OM15076 also called DK6 QN9090 carrier board provides a flexible development

system for NXP’s QN9090 ultra-low power, high performance wireless microcontroller. It

can be used with a wide range of development tools, including NXP’s MCUXpresso IDE.

It has been developed by NXP to enable evaluation and prototyping with the

QN9090_30_T Bluetooth Low Energy wireless microcontroller.

The carrier boards (part number: OM15076) supplied in the development kit are

physically identical. They are all pre-fitted with an Arduino-compatible expansion board

and a QN9090-based module with integrated antenna.

Target side of the board can be powered from the FTDI header. The QN9090

supports serial ISP boot from the FTDI header.

QN9090 VBAT current monitor V sense measurement. The V sense can be

measured with a volt meter. Pin 1 (square pad) is positive and pin 2 is

negative. QN9090 current is calculated by dividing the measured voltage at

J14 by the V sense resistance value of 3.3Ω.

J15

Link2 mini USB B-type connector. Powers both the Link2 side of the board

and depending on the JP3, J5 configuration, the QN9090 Target side of the

board. Power the board from this connector when using the on-board debug

probe to debug the QN9090 Target MCU.

QN9090 Target SWD disable –2-position jumper pins.

1. Jumper “ON” (default) the QN9090 Target SWD interface enabled.

Normal operating mode where the Target SWD is connected to

either the on-board

2. Link2 debug probe or an external debug probe. Jumper “OFF”, the

QN9090 Target SWD interface is disabled. Use this setting only

when the on-board Link2 debug probe is used to debug an off-board

Target QN9090.

SWD interface buffer power selection

QN9090 power source selection

1. Jumper fitted in position pin 1 - 2 (default -5V REG). Power source

is either 5V from mini USB connector or FTDI connector, or 4.5V

from 3xAAA batteries or 5V from a 7-12V DC power supply

connected on J4.

2. Jumper fitted in position pin 2 - 3 (BAT 6V). Power source is 4xAAA

batteries.

Link2 (LPC4322) force DFU boot –2 position jumper pins.

1. Jumper open (default) or shunted to boot mode for Link2 to follow

the normal boot sequence. The Link2 will boot from internal flash if

image is found there. With the internal flash erased the Link2 normal

boot sequence will fall through to DFU boot.

2. Jumper shunted to force the Link2 to DFU boot mode. Use this

setting to reprogram the Link2 internal flash with a new image or to

use the MCUXpresso IDE with CMSIS-DAP protocol.

JP6 is used to isolate the Link2 debug probe (SPI bridge function) from the

QN9090 target to prevent leakage current in power critical applications /

current consumption analysis. JP6 needs to be fitted in position 1 - 2 to use

the SPI bridging function between the QN9090 and Link2. This jumper is not

fitted by default

The Generic expansion board OM15082 can be plugged into these connectors.

2.5 Buttons

2.5.1 Reset button

This button (SW4) is used to reset the QN9090 (note that the Link2 is NOT reset by this

button)

2.5.2 ISP button

This button connects the QN9090_PIO5 (ISP_Entry) pin to ground. This should be used

to set the QN9090 in ISP mode to program a binary file into the chip memory.

To force entry into this ISP mode, hold down the ISP button (SW2), press and release

the Reset button (SW4), then release the ISP button (SW2). This is done automatically

when using the DK6 Production Flash programmer with J2 (FTDI USB interface)

2.6 User Interface button

This button (BP1) is connected to QN9090_PIO_1 and should be used as an input

2.7 QN9090 Serial port

The QN9090 UART0 can also be connected through a virtual communication port

(VCOM) UART bridge Link2 function either to a host computer connected to the J2 USB

FTDI or to J15 USB Link2. By default, the DK 6 is configured to use the FTDI USB.

For Link2 USB: The factory default CMSIS-DAP Link2 image includes UART bridge

functionality (VCOM support), and this firmware is also available with the LPCScrypt

utility, available at https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-

microcontroller-utilities:LPC-UTILITIES power connections and measurements.

For the USB FTDI, the PC driver is available on FTDI website (the FTDI chip is already

configured before the carrier board release).

2.8 Board power connections

is to be debugged from the on board Link2 probe, the USB mini B-type connector (J15)

must connected to a Host computer. When the QN9090 Target is to be debugged from

an external debug probe, instead of the on-board debug probe, the Link USB connector

(J15) must be disconnected.

The QN9090 Target VBAT selection is made at JP3, J5, with 3.3V from on-board LDO

set as the default.

2.9 Debug Configurations

The DK6 board has a built-in debug probe referred to as “Link2”. The QN9090 target

wireless MCU can be debugged by the Link2 debugging probe, or from an external

debug probe installed at P1. On-board jumpers JP1 and JP2 must be correctly positioned

for each mode. The on-board Link2 debug probe is capable of debugging target MCU’s

with a VDDIO range of 1.6V to 3.6V. Check the sections below for the appropriate jumper

settings and how to properly power the board.

2.9.1 Debug using on-board debug probe

To use the on-board Link debug probe:

•The jumper JP2 must be fitted in position pin 1 - 2 (Local Target).

•Jumper JP1 must be open or fitted in position 2 –3 to enable the target

QN9090.

•Connecting the mini USB J15 to a host computer will power the Link and

according JP3, J5 position, the QN9090 sections of the board and provide

the USB link to the debug tool software.

2.9.2 Debug using external debug probe

To use an external debug probe:

•connect the probe to the SWD (P1) connector

•power the QN9090 Target section of the board from the FTDI header (J1)

or the Jack connector (J4)

•and fit a jumper to JP2 across pin 1 - 2 (Local Target).

•Jumper JP1 must be open or fitted across pin 2 –3 to enable the target

QN9090.

•The on-board Link2 debug probe must be unpowered, by leaving USB mini

(J15) unconnected.

2.9.3 On-Board Link2 flash programing

To program the Link2 Flash the Link2 MCU must be in DFU mode. If the Link2 already

has a valid image in the flash, you will need to force it into DFU mode by placing a

jumper shunt on JP5 across pin 1 - 2, then power the board by connecting the mini USB

J15 to a host computer. Link2 MCU programming is performed using the LPCScrypt

utility (see https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpc-

microcontroller-utilities:LPC-UTILITIES). Instructions for using the tool are located at the

same web page.

2.9.4 Using the DK6 to debug an off-board target

The DK6 board’s Link2 debug probe may be used to debug an off-board target MCU.

The on-board Link2 debug probe is capable of debugging target MCU’s with a VDDIO

range of 1.6V to 3.6V. To keep the on-board target QN9090 MCU from interfering with

the SWD interface:

•JP1 must be fitted across pin 1 - 2.

•The Link2 debug probe SWD is connected by a ribbon cable between the

P1 connector to the off-board target MCU SWD interface.

•Power the DK6 board from the Link USB connector J15,

•Fit jumper JP2 across pins 2 - 3 (External Target).
