2 Hardware required
The EdgeLock SE05x works as an auxiliary security device attached to a host controller,
communicating with through an I²C interface. To follow the instructions provided in this
document, you need an EdgeLock SE05x development board and a i.MX 8M MCU
board, acting as a host controller.
EdgeLock SE05x development boards ordering details
The EdgeLock SE05x support package provides development boards for evaluating
EdgeLock SE050 and EdgeLock SE051 features. Select the development board of the
product you want to evaluate. Table 1 details the ordering details of the EdgeLock SE05x
development boards.

3 Boards setup
This section explains how to prepare the OM-SE05xARD boards and i.MX 8M board to
run the EdgeLock SE05x Plug & Trust middleware project examples. Follow these steps:
1. Connect the OM-SE05xARD to the i.MX 8M board. The i.MX 8M board does not
come with an Arduino connector, so you have to connect the Arduino shield of the
OM-SE05xARD board to the J801_I2C connector of the i.MX 8M board using wires.
Table 3 details the jumper connection
OM-SE05xARD (# jumper - #
pin)
I.MX 8M (# jumper - # pin) Description
J2 - Pin 10 J801 - Pin 1 SCL
J2 - Pin 7 J801 - Pin 2 Ground
J2 - Pin 9 J801 - Pin 3 SDA
J8 - Pin 3 J801 - Pin 5 3.3 Volt supply

4 Software setup
The software setup consists of:
1. Preparing a micro-SD card with the pre-compiled Linux image with the preinstalled
Plug & Trust middleware for i.MX 8M board, as described in Section 4.1.
2. Installing the USB to UART Bridge VCOM driver in your laptop, as described in
Section 4.2.
3. Installing TeraTerm terminal application, as described in Section 4.3.
4. Booting the i.MX 8M board, as described in Section 4.4.
4.1 Micro-SD card preparation
To prepare the micro-sd card with the pre-compiled Linux image that includes the Plug &
Trust middleware, you need to:
1. Download from NXP website the Plug & Trust middleware SD Card Image. This
image contains the Plug & Trust middleware pre-installed with already some
examples on a bootable SD Card Image.
Note: In case the image provided by NXP does not suit your use case, you can
find the explanation of how to create an card image using Yocto in the Plug & Trust
middleware documentation (simw-top/doc/dev-platforms/platform_imx8_linux.html) .
2. Download and install Win32 Disk Imager software. Win32 Disk Imager is a Windows
open source program to format SD card images. Instead of Win 32 Disk Imager, you
could also use any other software for this operation.
3. Plug your micro-SD card in your laptop.

4. Open Win32 Disk Imager, (1) select from your file system the pre-compiled Linux
image you downloaded from the website, and (2) click on the Write button as shown
in Figure 3.
Note: the SD card image might come in a ZIP package. Make sure to unzip the
package and change the extension to .img before selecting the image file in Win32
Disk Imager.

4. Go to your Device Manager, and check that your board is recognized and assigned
to a port number (COMxx). Write down the assigned port number (COMxx) as it is
needed in the next steps. Your Device Manager should look like Figure 5.
Note: if you see more than one COM port, use the one denoted as Enhanced COM
port.

4.3 Terminal setup
We need to install a terminal application, for instance TeraTerm, to communicate
and view the serial output of the i.MX 8M board from our laptop. To setup TeraTerm
application:
1. Download TeraTerm and run the installer.
2. Launch TeraTerm, click the Serial option and select from the dropdown list the
Enhanced COM port number assigned to your i.MX 8M board (In this case COM11)
as shown in Figure 6. Click the OK button to confirm the setup. If you cannot see the
