Part Number Description

MCIMX7SABRE SABRE Board, Hardware, i.MX 7

Overview
NXP® delivers the Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) board based
on i.MX7Dual applications processor, utilizing both the ARM® Cortex®-A7 and Cortex®-M4
cores with enhanced security and power optimization.

With the goal of faster time to market, the SABRE board allows developers to evaluate the
processors’ primary features including hardware-enabled security, integrated EPD controller,
LCD/HDMI/MIPI DSI display and flexible connectivity interface, plus rich on-board
solutions to Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth®4.0+EDR (Supporting BLE), and dual 1 Gigabit Ethernet.

The corresponding software support enables developers to run a rich operating system like
Linux® or Android™ on the ARM® Cortex®-A7 core and FreeRTOS on the ARM® Cortex®-
M4 core, exploring the full potential of the Heterogeneous Multicore Processing (HMP)
architecture.

L4.1.0_1.1.0_GA BSP release can support i.MX7D SABRE board. Developing uboot and
Developing Kernel on public git may provide better support.

Instructions
1.1 Get Familiar with the Board
1.2 Insert the SD Card
The kit comes with an SD card with a pre-built NXP® Linux binary demo image. Without
modifying the system, booting from the image will provide a default system with certain
features for building other applications on top of Linux.

To understand more about NXP Linux/Android/FreeRTOS BSP, please continue reading the
next sections.

1.3 Connect USB Debug Cable


Connect the micro-B end of the supplied USB cable into Debug UART port J509. Connect
the other end of the cable to a host computer.

Terminal window configuration: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity

1.4 Connect User Interface Devices


Connect monitor via the HDMI connector (J9). To interact with the user interface displayed
on the monitor it may be desirable to attach a keyboard and/or a mouse in the USB port (J26).

1.5 Verify Boot Switches


By default, both of the two boot switches (SW2 and SW3) are configured to zero position.
With the SD card inserted, the board will boot from the SD card. Without the SD card
inserted, the board will be switched into serial downloader mode required by manufacturing
tool (MFGTools). If any other boot source is desired, please refer to the silkscreen on the
board near the switches.

1.6 Connect Power Supply


Connect the 5V power supply cable to the 5V DC power jack (J1).

When powered on by flipping the switch, the processor starts executing code from on-chip
ROM. With default Boot Switch setup, this code reads the fuses to find out which media to
search for a bootable image. Then it will find the SD card and begin U-Boot execution
automatically.

Information will be printed in the COM9 (smaller number) serial console for A7 core. If you
don’t stop the U-boot process, it will boot the Linux kernel.
