Hardware

  • MIMXRT1062DVL6A MCU (600 MHz, 1024 KB on-chip memory)

  • 16 Mbit QSPI Flash

  • User LED

  • USB 2.0 host connector

See the Teensy 4.0 Website [1] for a complete hardware description.

For more information, check the i.MX RT1060 Datasheet [5].

Programming and Debugging

Flashing

The Teensy 4.0 and Teensy 4.1 and Micromod ship with a dedicated bootloader chip, which supports flashing using USB. This allows easy flashing of new images, but does not support debugging the device.

  1. Build the Zephyr kernel and the Blinky sample application.

west build -b teensy40 samples/basic/blinky

  1. Connect the board to your host computer using USB.

  2. Tap the reset button to enter bootloader mode. Red LED blinks.

  3. Flash the image.

west build -b teensy40 samples/basic/blinky
west flash

  1. You should see the orange LED blink.

Configuring a Console

By default console output is mapped to teensy pins 0 (RX1) and 1 (TX1). Connect a usb-to-serial adapter to use this serial console. Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty, etc.):

  • Speed: 115200

  • Data: 8 bits

  • Parity: None

  • Stop bits: 1
