Available dtbs
To allow Cortex M4 accessing shared resources without experiencing Linux kernel conflicts, a dedicated device tree must be loaded, by selecting the right version with the symbolic link in the /boot folder of the booting media.
These device trees contain m4 label in their name.

NXP Memory types
The SDK allow linking using 2 different memory types: DDR, TCM.
Here is available a short summary of memory areas used by Cortex-M4 as described in related linker file.
| memory type | M4 memory area | A53 memory area | memory lentgh | linker file |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DDR | 0x80000000-0x801FFFFF (code) 0x80200000-0x803FFFFF (data) 0x80400000-0x80FFFFFF (data2) |

256kB (TCM) + 16MB (DDR) | MIMX8MQ6xxxJZ_cm4_ram.ld |
All linker files are locate in the armgcc folder of each demo.
The DDR reserved area must much the one declared in the kernel device tree: at least 2 GB of RAM is required on the SoM to allow Cortex-M4 accessing the range 0x80000000 - 0x80FFFFFF.
The RPMSG area is located at 0xB8000000: at least 3 GB of RAM is required on the SoM to allow Cortex-M4 accessing the RPMSG area. After launching the build_all.sh command the following folder will be created in the armgcc folder
- ddr_debug: containing DDR binaries compiled in debug mode (not stripped: symbols available)
- ddr_release: containing DDR binaries compiled in release mode (stripped: no symbols available)
- debug: containing TCM binaries compiled in debug mode (not stripped: symbols available)
- release: containing TCM binaries compiled in release mode (stripped: no symbols available)

For some reason, Cortex-M4 is not able to access RAM locations below 0x60000000: SoMs with 512 MB of RAM are not suitable to use Cortex-M4.
The RPMSG area is located at 0x40000000: all SoMs allow Cortex-M4 accessing the RPMSG area.

JTAG
The VAR-DT8MCustomBoard exports the DART-MX8M JTAG signals through J29, a standard 1.27" 10 pin header.
Here the pinout
| pin | signal | description | pin | signal | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | JTAG_VREF | JTAG IO reference voltage, connects to SOM_NVCC_3V3. |
2 | JTAG_TMS | JTAG Mode Select signal |
| 3 | GND | Digital Ground | 4 | JTAG_TCK | JTAG Clock signal, requires 10K pull down. |
| 5 | GND | Digital Ground | 6 | JTAG_TDO | JTAG Data Out signal |
| 7 | GND | Digital Ground | 8 | JTAG_TDI | JTAG Data In signal |
| 9 | JTAG_NTRST_C | JTAG Reset signal | 10 | NRST_CON | Programmer Reset, used to put the SOC in reset state. |

All linker files are locate in the armgcc folder of each demo.
The DDR reserved area must much the one declared in the kernel device tree: at least 1 GB of RAM is required on the SoM to allow Cortex-M7 accessing the range 0x7E000000 - 0x7EFFFFFF. For some reason, Cortex-M7 is not able to access RAM locations below 0x60000000: SoMs with 512 MB of RAM are not suitable to use Cortex-M7.
The RPMSG area is located at 0x40000000: all SoMs allow Cortex-M7 accessing the RPMSG area.
After launching the build_all.sh command the following folder will be created in the armgcc folder
- ddr_debug: containing DDR binaries compiled in debug mode (not stripped: symbols available)
- ddr_release: containing DDR binaries compiled in release mode (stripped: no symbols available)
- debug: containing TCM binaries compiled in debug mode (not stripped: symbols available)
- release: containing TCM binaries compiled in release mode (stripped: no symbols available)
