Zephyr Portability Featuring MCX and i.MX RT Series

About This Training

This tutorial video highlights the portability benefits of Zephyr by demonstrating how it optimizes two distinct MCU architectures. Using a face detection demo, it runs on both the MCX N947 MCU, which features a neural processing unit and basic display, and the i.MX RT1060, which has a built-in display interface. The tutorial explains how platform abstraction is achieved, with the application remaining unchanged across both versions.

Presentation

Porting a Zephyr application between i.MX RT and MCX 

What You Will Learn

• How the device drivers are structured in a Zephyr application
• How device trees are used to simplify porting between platforms
• Performance benefits gained by using the MCXN947 neutral processing unit versus a standard Cortex-M core
