Getting ready

Working with the MR-NavQ95 requires the board, a host PC, a debug probe, and the images produced or downloaded through the NXP Robotics SDK.

Kit contents

• MR-NavQ95 vehicle-computer board

Additional hardware

• A JTAG debug probe (NXP MCU-Link or J-Link) for programming the Cortex-M RTOS firmware

• A USB Type-C cable for the serial-download port (USB1 / J13)

• A USB Type-C cable for the debug console (DEBUG USB / J10)

• A 9 V to 52 V DC power supply (3S to 12S battery) for the power input connector (J9)

Assumptions

Familiarity with embedded Linux, U-Boot, and flashing tools is helpful but not required.

Minimum system requirements

• An Ubuntu PC is assumed for all host-side steps.

• For building the Linux image from source: Ubuntu 22.04 or later, at least 300 GB of free disk space, and 16 GB of RAM (minimum recommended).

Software

The images and build tooling are provided through the NXP Robotics SDK, which runs inside a Docker container. The SDK produces the Cortex-A Linux image and the Cortex-M RTOS firmware for the board.
