Board Assembly

The Nitrogen95 SMARC module, featuring on-board Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, comes fully assembled with the Universal SMARC Carrier Board, heatsink, 7" touchscreen display, enclosure, desktop stand, and all necessary mounting hardware / screws / accessories — ready to use straight out of the box. The complete setup weighs 1.69 kg in total. The display connects to the motherboard via the MIPI-DSI interface (DSI0) using a 33-pin FPC/FFC ribbon cable, with the heatsink pre-attached to the module. By default, the antenna is glued to the stand for convenience and stability.

You can adjust the screen tilt vertically, like a laptop, to match your setup and preferences. If wireless connectivity is required, make sure the antenna is securely connected to U9 and the MHF4L connector on the PCB of the Sona NX611 module. We do not recommend removing the heatsink, but if necessary, it can be done using a 3 mm hex socket bit.

Stock Bootloader & OS

The system ships with U-Boot v2024.04 and the Yocto Scarthgap Boot2Qt release pre-installed on the eMMC (as of the time of writing). The example below shows the output from U-Boot SPL, Proper, Environment Variables, and the Linux / Kernel startup log. You can use this as a reference to verify or compare the output from your own board.

To reprogram the eMMC, please follow the steps in https://www.ezurio.com/resources/software-announcements/programming-emmc-on-i-mx-platforms🔗. Alternatively, use balenaEtcher🔗 (available for both Windows and Linux) to make the SOM boot from an SD card or a USB stick.

“Hello World”

Once the Universal SMARC Carrier Board is powered through J17using the DC barrel jack and the included power supply, the touchscreen display will initialize automatically. A green power indicator LED (D9) will illuminate; however, it may not be visible if the screen is folded down.Within a few seconds, the screen will display six Linux Tux (Penguins), followed by our Ezurio "IO" boot / loading animation. The system typically completes the boot process in under 30 seconds, after which the Boot2Qt Demo Launcher (see below) will appear.

Here you can select between a bunch of different demos, including: Startup Screen, Thermostat, Robot Arm, Coffee Maschine, Same Game, To Do List, and Calqlatr. In this case, please visit https://doc.qt.io/Boot2Qt🔗 and https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-apps/boot2qt-demos.git🔗 for more information.

Tip: You can use Qt Creator to run, debug, and test your own applications on the Nitrogen95 SMARC Evaluation Kit. To do this, connect the kit to your computer using USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi. With a USB OTG cable, the board appears automatically in Qt Creator. For Ethernet, plug in a network cable and wait for the board to obtain an IP address. To connect over Wi-Fi, use the Boot to Qt Demo Launcher and ensure both the board and your computer are on the same network. Once connected, you’re ready to start building and deploying your applications directly from Qt Creator.

Terminal and Debug Access

Cortex-M (MCU)

See section “FreeRTOS / NXP MCUXpresso SDK (2.16.0)” for more information

Cortex-A (CPU)

To set up and establish a serial connection, use the console cable provided in the kit. Connect the DB9 connector to the 6-pin Molex 53398-0671 header on the Universal SMARC Carrier Board (J18, SERIAL) — you may need to gently lift the screen for better access — and attach other end labeled CONSOLE to your host PC through an 5V USB-to-Serial adapter (not included by default); in our example, we used the Tripp Lite USA-19HS (Keyspan): https://tripplite.eaton.com/keyspan-high-speed-usb-to-serial-adapter~USA19HS🔗.Windows users can choose from terminal applications such as TeraTerm🔗, RealTerm🔗, or PuTTY🔗, while Linux users should use tools like screen, minicom or picocom. The default serial settings are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit — commonly referred to as 8N1@115200. Once everything is in place, press the RESET button (SW1), and you should see the system boot logs appear in your terminal window.

The RS232 communication requires and operates at 5V TTL levels, not standard ±12V. If you prefer working with fastboot instead, then you may also want to connect a USB-C cable to J25 and your PC. In this context, please note that powering the entire board and setup through the USB-C connection is not sufficient, as it exceeds the current limits of a standard USB port.

Remote Network Login via SSH and Ethernet 1 /2

To connect the Nitrogen95 SMARC DVK to your local or public network, plug an RJ45 Ethernet cable into either J31 or J32 on the Universal SMARC Carrier Board. 100/1000 Mbps connections are supported on these two ports; 10 Gbps not. An SSH server (OpenSSH, sshd) is enabled by default and listens on port 22 for incoming connections in the background. It becomes active once the system has fully booted.Ensure that a DHCP Server is running on your network. By default, the DVK operates as a DHCP Client, automatically requesting and receiving IPv4 + IPv6 addresses through systemd-networkd once available, as shown in the ipconfig and ip examples below:

Updating & Customizing your Bootloader & OS

U-Boot

For more information, please refer to https://www.ezurio.com/resources/software-announcements/u-boot-v2022-04-for-i-mx-platforms🔗. The latest binaries can be found at u-boot-images-2022.04🔗 and u-boot-images-2024.04🔗, while the source code is available on GitHub under github.com/boundarydevices/u-boot🔗.

If you’re unsure which defconfig to download, you can check the current configuration from the U-Boot prompt using: printenv uboot_defconfig. For the Nitrogen95 SMARC module it should always imx95_nitrogen_smarc.

Recovery Instructions

If your Nitrogen95 SMARC development board isn't powering on or showing any signs of life, you may want to try recovering *both* the bootloader and operating system using NXP's Universal Update Utility (UUU). A step-by-step guide is available here: https://www.ezurio.com/resources/software-announcements/recovering-i-mx-platforms-using-uuu🔗.

Before that, make sure to double-check the following: (a) There are no visible signs of hardware damage — inspect all components carefully; (b) the Nitrogen95 SMARC module is properly seated in the SMARC socket slot (J1) of the Universal SMARC Carrier Board; (c) cables and connections are securely in place — nothing should be loose or jammed; (d) all boot switches on the Universal SMARC Carrier Board (S1) are in OFF position; and (e) SW1 on the Nitrogen95 SMARC module itself is also set to OFF.

Troubleshooting

Known Issues

Bluetooth not working: If you encounter an error message such as [279.259014] Bluetooth: hci0: Frame reassembly failed (-84) repeatedly appearing in the debug terminal, try restarting or resetting the device. Then, at the U-Boot prompt, enter setenv dtbos "imx95-nitrogen-smarc-dsi.dtbo imx95-nitrogen-smarc-nx611.dtbo" followed by saveenv. This manually applies and saves the correct device tree. You only have to do it once.
