一. 前言
世平集團針對 NXP 的 MPU 相關技術整理了一系列博文，其中也包含了硬體、軟體、實際應用等的相關技術文章。此網頁為詳細的博文索引架構，筆者希望能夠透過這些博文協助大家更了解 NXP 的 MPU 相關技術，未來也會持續更新此系列的相關博文還懇請各位讀者們多多支持！而本篇博文會針對 i.MX8 系列相關技術索引中的 【ATU Book-i.MX8 系列-IO】NXP i.MX8ULP 基本功能驗證 這篇文章做介紹。
在 i.MX8ULP 平台上有豐富的周邊 IO 並且支援許多的功能，本篇文章將會初步介紹一些周邊的功能驗證方法，給對 i.MX8ULP 平台有興趣的讀者們做個參考，再麻煩大家繼續看下去囉。
二. i.MX8ULP Display 相關驗證
i.MX8ULP 在 Display 部分支援：
- MIPI DSI (4-lane)。
- EPD ( Electrophoretic Display ) Display。
值得一提的是 i.MX8ULP 公板預設有上件一顆 MIPI To HDMI 的 Converter IC ( IT6161 )，只要使用 i.MX8ULP 預設的 Device Tree 就可以 Enable 此功能囉。
下圖為使用 i.MX8ULP 公板上的 MIPI DSI To HDMI 輸出畫面的截圖。
三、 i.MX8ULP Camera 相關驗證
i.MX8ULP 在 Camera 部分支援 2 Lane 的 MIPI CSI，那 i.MX8ULP 公板預設可以支援 OV5640 Camera，只要使用 i.MX8ULP 預設的 Device Tree 以及輸入以下 Command 可以測試此功能囉。
root@imx8ulpevk:~# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! fpsdisplaysink

下圖為在 i.MX8ULP 公板上的使用 OV5640 Camera 並輸出畫面到 HDMI 的截圖。
四、 i.MX8ULP Ethernet 相關驗證
i.MX8ULP 支援 10/100 Mbit/s 的 Ethernet，只要使用 i.MX8ULP 預設的 Device Tree 以及輸入以下 Command 可以測試此功能囉。
補充：測試前請先確認自己與傳輸對象的 IP 是否都在相同網段唷。
root@imx8ulpevk:~# ifconfig eth0
eth0: flags=-28605<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC> mtu 1500

五、 i.MX8ULP WiFi / BT 相關驗證
i.MX8ULP 公板預設支援 Murata 的 IW416 ( LBEE5CJ1XK ) M.2 WiFi + BT ( Bluetooth ) Module，以下將會簡單說明如何針對 WiFi 與 BT 做測試再麻煩各位讀者們繼續看下去囉。
Murata 的 IW416 ( LBEE5CJ1XK ) Module 示意圖：

(1) WiFi 驗證簡述
初步的驗證流程如下：
- 先把準備一台 WiFi 熱點 分享的設備；本篇範例是用筆者自己的 iPhone 手機做網路的分享。
- 用 i.MX8ULP 公板上的 WiFi 模組連上 WiFi 熱點並做連線測試。
先透過 modprobe 命令掛載 moal 模組。

再來筆者透過在 i.MX8ULP 公板上下指令使用 WiFi 模組連線到筆者 iPhone 手機 Shared 出來的 WiFi 熱點 。
補充：筆者的手機的 SSID ( Service Set Identifier ) 是 Benson_iPhone 、密碼是 WPIATUWithYou 。

做完以上步驟就可以透過 i.MX8ULP 公板上的 WiFi 模組上網囉。
(2) BT 驗證簡述
初步的驗證流程如下：
- 先把準備一台有 BT 的 PC 並開啟藍芽功能。
- 用 i.MX8ULP 公板上的 BT 模組去跟 PC 上的 BT 做 Pair。
先透過 modprobe 命令掛載 moal 模組。

透過以下命令做設置並搜尋筆者的 iPhone 設備。

六、 結論
世平集團針對 NXP 的 MPU 相關技術整理了一系列博文，而本篇文章主要初步的介紹了如何驗證 NXP 的 i.MX8ULP 這片公板上面的 Display 、 Camera 與 網路 相關功能；那其它功能的測試與驗證相關資訊有興趣的讀者們可以參考別篇 ATU Book 系列的文章，希望本篇文章的內容可以讓各位讀者對 i.MX8ULP 有更深入的體會，若未來讀者們有 i.MX 系列處理器的相關問題歡迎隨時與世平集團做討論。
