1Confirm Boot
Switches
The boot switches should be set to boot
from “eMMC”, SW1301[1-4] (Figure 1) are used
for boot, See table below:
2Connect USB
Debug Cable
Connect the UART cable into the port JP1401
(Figure 1). Connect the other end of the cable to
a PC acting as a host terminal. UART connections
will appear on the PC, this will be used as A55
and M33 core system debugging.
Open the terminal window (i.e., Hyper Terminal
or Tera Term), choose the right COM port number
and apply the following configuration.
• Baud rate: 115200bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
3Connect LVDS
panel Display
Connect an LVDS panel with J702 2x20 PIN header
through cable. Make sure jumpers on J703 (P2-P3)
and J704 (P2-P1) have been installed.
4Connect
Mouse
Connect the mouse to the USB2 C port connector
J302 through USB C OTG cable.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
The following will describe how to
run the pre-loaded Linux image on
the MCIMX93-EVKCM (i.MX 93).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Boot Switches
SW1301[1-4] is the boot configuration switch, the default boot device
is eMMC/uSDHC1, as shown in Table 4. If you want to try other boot
devices, you need to change the boot switches to corresponding
values as listed in Table 4.
Note: 1 = ON 0 = OFF
