+----------+------------------+-----------------------+
| ocram2   | 0x200C0000[512K] | Mailbox/shared memory |
+----------+------------------+-----------------------+

Only the first 16K of ocram2 has the correct MPU region attributes set to be
used as shared memory

System Clock
============

The MIMXRT1160 SoC is configured to use SysTick as the system clock source,
running at 600MHz. When targeting the M4 core, SysTick will also be used,
running at 240MHz

When power management is enabled, the 32 KHz low frequency
oscillator on the board will be used as a source for the GPT timer to
generate a system clock. This clock enables lower power states, at the
cost of reduced resolution

Serial Port
===========

The MIMXRT1160 SoC has 12 UARTs. One is configured for the console and the
remaining are not used.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Building a Dual-Core Image
==========================
Dual core samples load the M4 core image from flash into the shared ``ocram``
region. The M7 core then sets the M4 boot address to this region. The only
sample currently enabled for dual core builds is the ``openamp`` sample.
To flash a dual core sample, the M4 image must be flashed first, so that it is
written to flash. Then, the M7 image must be flashed. The openamp sysbuild
sample will do this automatically by setting the image order.

The secondary core can be debugged normally in single core builds
(where the target is ``mimxrt1160_evk/mimxrt1166/cm4``). For dual core builds, the
secondary core should be placed into a loop, then a debugger can be attached
(see `AN13264`_, section 4.2.3 for more information)

Configuring a Debug Probe
=========================

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is
configured by default to use the :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe`,
however the :ref:`pyocd-debug-host-tools` do not yet support programming the
external flashes on this board so you must reconfigure the board for one of the
following debug probes instead.

Using J-Link
------------

Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.

There are two options: the onboard debug circuit can be updated with Segger
J-Link firmware, or :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` can be attached to the
EVK. See `Using J-Link with MIMXRT1160-EVK or MIMXRT1170-EVK`_ for more details.

Using LinkServer
----------------

Install the :ref:`linkserver-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your
search path.  LinkServer works with the CMSIS-DAP firmware include in LinkServer
install. Please follow the ``LPCScrypt\docs\Debug_Probe_Firmware_Programming.pdf``
for more details.

Linkserver is the default runner. You may also se the ``-r linkserver`` option
with West to use the LinkServer runner.

Configuring a Console
=====================

Regardless of your choice in debug probe, we will use the OpenSDA
microcontroller as a usb-to-serial adapter for the serial console. Check that
jumpers J5 and J8 are **on** (they are on by default when boards ship from
the factory) to connect UART signals to the OpenSDA microcontroller.

Connect a USB cable from your PC to J11.

Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty,
etc.):

- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1

Flashing
========

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

Before power on the board, make sure SW1 is set to 0001b

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: mimxrt1160_evk/mimxrt1166/cm7
   :goals: flash

Power off the board, and change SW1 to 0010b. Then power on the board and
open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW4 button), and you should
see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v2.6.0-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
   Hello World! mimxrt1160_evk

Debugging
=========

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: mimxrt1160_evk/mimxrt1166/cm7
   :goals: debug

Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you
should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v2.4.0-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
   Hello World! mimxrt1160_evk
