PIN assignment

Schematic

Memory Map

• Teensy 4.0 has 1 Mbyte of RAM and 2 Mbyte of Flash memory. The RAM is divided into 2 physically separate banks.

Teensyduino IDE installation

• Download & Extract Arduino
• Install udev Rules
  • The udev rule file gives non-root users permission to use the Teensy devices (serial, HID, etc). More Linux tips below.

sudo cp 49-teensy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

PlatformIO

• Install VSCode(Visual Studio Code)
  • Install PlatformIO from extensions

NXP SDK

export ARMGCC_DIR=$TOOLCHAIN_PATH
cd SDK_2.7.0_EVK-MIMXRT1060/boards/evkmimxrt1060/driver_examples/gpio/led_output/armgcc
chmod 777 build_all.sh
./build_all.sh
arm-none-eabi-objcopy  -O ihex flexspi_nor_release/igpio_led_output.elf flexspi_nor_release/igpio_led_output.hex
teensy_loader_cli -v -w --mcu=imxrt1062 flexspi_nor_release/igpio_led_output.hex

• For led_output example, need to modify gpio mapping in board.h (refer to schematic)

#define LOGIC_LED_ON (0U)
#define LOGIC_LED_OFF (1U)

Upload binary standalone

• teensy_loader_cli -mmcu=imxrt1062 -w evkmimxrt1060_freertos_hello_teensy.hex -v

SPI Timing

• CS_OFF around 40 ns

• SPI CLK in 16M

• Sampling rate evaluation
  • CS_ON+CS_OFF around 1.46 us
  • For 32 Ch in 16M SPI_CLK, the sampling rate for each channel would be:
    • (1000000/1.46*32)/1000=21.4KS

SDIO 4 bit

• Format SD before running
• Change pin define in code
  • SD.begin(BUILTIN_SDCARD)

/*
  SD card datalogger
 
 This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors 
 to an SD card using the SD library.
 	
 The circuit:
 * analog sensors on analog ins 0, 1, and 2
 * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
 ** MOSI - pin 11, pin 7 on Teensy with audio board
 ** MISO - pin 12
 ** CLK - pin 13, pin 14 on Teensy with audio board
 ** CS - pin 4,  pin 10 on Teensy with audio board

// change this to match your SD shield or module;
// Arduino Ethernet shield: pin 4
// Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10
// Sparkfun SD shield: pin 8
// Teensy audio board: pin 10
