ABOUT THE i.MX AUDIO BOARD

i.MX Audio Board (or

MCIMX8M-AUD

) is an excellent, configurable and functional

audio processing platform. It supports multiple i.MX 8M series processors and HDMI

card. A variety of audio input and output interfaces are integrated into the system, it

supports HDMI input, HDMI eARC, S/PDIF I/O, 2-ch ADC line-in, 24-ch DAC line-out

and so on. Based on these features, rich audio application cases can be realized.

SOM ID Switches

If target using i.MX 8M Mini or i.MX 8M

Nano SOM board, the interposer board

should be used. If target using i.MX 8M

Plus SOM board, the interposer board

should be removed and plug SOM board

on the i.MX Audio Board directly.

If the SOM interposer board is used, set

the ID SW1[4:1] according to the SOM

used. if interposer board not used, all

pins are pulled up by on board resistors.

Connect

USB Debug Cable

Connect the micro-B end of a USB cable

into debug port J23. Connect the other

end of the cable to a PC acting as a host

terminal. UART connections will appear

on the PC, then select the right COM port.

The console print will output on

“Enhanced COM port,” which can be

found in “Device Manager” of the PC.

Quick Start Guide

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

CONTINUED

If the serial port is not recognized,

download and install updated drivers as

listed in the section Debug Serial

Console below.

Open the terminal window (i.e., Hyper

Terminal or Tera Term), choose the right

COM port number and apply the

following

configuration.

-Baud rate: 115200

-Data bits: 8

-Parity: None

-Stop bits: 1

HDMI Cable

Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI

connector JackJ2 on HDMI card.Connect

the other end of thecable to PC with a HDMI

interface,or connecttoaBlu-ray player if don’t
