Ethernet connector
There is one Ethernet Mac controller in the MIMXRT1064 processor. The Ethernet subsystem of the
MIMXRT1064 EVK Board is provided by the KSZ8081RNB 10/100M Ethernet Transceiver (U16) and
a RJ45 (J19) with integrated Magnetic.
2.9.
USB PHY connector
The MIMXRT1064 contains 2 integrated USB 2.0 PHYs capable of connecting to USB host/device
systems at the USB low-speed (LS) rate of 1.5 Mbits/s, full-speed (FS) rate of 12 Mbits/s or at the USB
2.0 high-speed (HS) rate of 480 Mbits/s.
2.10.
Audio input / output connector
The Audio CODEC used on the MIMXRT1064 EVK Board is Wolfson’s Low Power, high quality
Stereo Codec, WM8960.The MIMXRT1064 EVK Board include one headphone interface (J12), one
onboard MIC (P1), two speaker interfaces (J16, J17), and the SPDIF interface (J14 & J18, DNP). J12 is
a 3.5mm audio stereo headphone jack, which supports jack detect.
2.11.
OpenSDA circuit (DAP-link)
The OpenSDA circuit (CMSIS–DAP) is an open-standard serial and debug adapter. It bridges serial and
debug communications between a USB host and an embedded target processor.
CMSIS-DAP features a mass storage device (MSD) bootloader, which provides a quick and easy
mechanism for loading different CMSIS-DAP Applications such as flash programmers, run-control
debug interfaces, serial-to-USB converters, and more. Two or more CMSIS-DAP applications can run
simultaneously. For example, run-control debug application and serial-to-USB converter runs in parallel
to provide a virtual COM communication interface while allowing code debugging via CMSIS-DAP
with just single USB connection.
For the MIMXRT1064 EVK Board, J41 is the connector between the USB host and the target processor.
Jumper to serial downloader mode to use stable DAP-Link debugger function. If developer wants to
make OpenSDA going to the bootloader mode, J43 should jumper to 1-2, and press SW4 when power
on. Meanwhile, the OpenSDA supports drag/drop feature for U-Disk. First, use the seral downloader
mode and drag/drop the image file to U-Disk. Then select QSPI Flash as boot device and reset the
Board, the image will run.
2.12.
JTAG connector
J21 is a standard 20-pin/2.54 mm Box Header Connector for JTAG. The pin definitions are shown in the
following figure. Support SWD by default.

Camera module connector
One parallel CSI (Camera Sensor Interface) is supported by the i.MX RT1064. There is a Camera
Module Connector (J35) on the MIMXRT1064 EVK Board. The CA031C based on OV7725 and
CA111C based on MT9M114 can be used directly.
NOTE
J35 supports both MT9M114 and OV7725 camera module, but 3.3 V is a
violation to MT9M114 spec 3.1 V. It proved fine for evaluation/demo
with 3.3 V supply, but in product design, it is recommended to adjust
DCDC output or add level shifter.
2.15.
User interface switch
There are four user interface switches on the MIMXRT1064 EVK Board. Their functionality is as
below.

2.16.
Power switch
SW1 is a slide switch to control the power of the MIMXRT1064 EVK Board when the power supply is
from J2. The function of this switch is listed below:
• Sliding the switch to the ON position connects the 5V power supply to the Evaluation board
main power system.
• Sliding the switch to OFF position immediately removes all power from the board.
2.17.
ON/OFF button
SW2 is the ON/OFF button for MIMXRT1064 EVK Board. A short pressing in OFF mode causes the
internal power management state machine to change state to ON. In ON mode, a short pressing
generates an interrupt (intended to be a software-controllable(power-down). An approximate 5 seconds
or more pressing causes a forced OFF. Both boot mode inputs can be disconnected.
2.18.
Reset button
There are two Reset Button on the EVK Board. SW3 is the Power On Reset Button. Pressing the SW3 in
the Power On state will force to reset the system power except SNVS domain. The Processor will be
immediately turn off and reinitiate a boot cycle from the Processor Power Off state. SW4 is Reset
Button.
2.19.
USER button
SW8 is the USER Button(GPIO5-00) for developers using. Pressing can produce changes in high and
low levels.
2.20.
Sensor
U32 on the EVK Board is a 6-Axis Ecompass (3-Axis Mag, 3-Axis Accel) sensor FXOS8700CQ. The
Ecompass is connected to i.MX RT1064 I2C1 port.
NOTE
The sensor on some boards are unpopulated.
2.21.
User interface LED indicator
There are four LED status indicators located on the EVK Board. The functions of these LEDs include:
• Main Power Supply (D3)
Green: DC 5 V main supply is normal.
Red: J2 input voltage is over 5.6 V.
Off: the board is not powered.

LCD interface
The enhanced Liquid Crystal Display Interface (eLCDIF) is a general purpose display controller.
The eLCDIF block supports the following:
• Displays that support moving pictures and require the RGB interface mode (DOTCLK interface).
The eLCDIF provides fully programmable functionality to supported interfaces:
• Bus master interface to source frame buffer data for display refresh.
• 8/16/18/24/32 -bit LCD data bus support available depending on I/O mux options.
• Programmable timing and parameters for DOTCLK LCD interfaces.
If developers want to use LCD, NXP provides an optional LCD module RK043FN02H-CT which has a
4.3 inches touch-screen and supports a resolution of up to 480*3(RGB)*272. This module contains two
FPC cables. The LCD interface can be connected to J8(A1-A40) and the CPT interface can be connected
to J8(B1-B6). LCD modules can be purchased from the NXP website.
