==================
-This BSP offers only one variant, the `imxrt1052`. This variant supports the

+This BSP offers multiple variants. The `imxrt1052` supports the i.MXRT 1052
+processor on a IMXRT1050-EVKB (tested with rev A1). Some possibilities to adapt
+it to a custom board are described below.
NOTE: The IMXRT1050-EVKB has an backlight controller that must not be enabled
without load. Make sure to either attach a load, disable it by software or
disable it by removing the 0-Ohm resistor on it's input.
+The `imxrt1166-cm7-saltshaker` supports an application specific board. Adapting
+it to another i.MXRT1166 based board works similar like for the `imxrt1052` BSP.

Build Configuration Options
---------------------------
Please see the documentation of the `IMXRT_*` and `BSP_*` configuration options
for that. You can generate a default set of options with::
- ./waf bsp_defaults --rtems-bsps=arm/imxrt1052 > config.ini

+Adapting to a different board
+-----------------------------
+
+This is only a short overview for the most important steps to adapt the BSP to
+another board. Details for most steps follow further below.

+#. The device tree has to be adapted to fit the target hardware.
+#. A matching clock configuration is necessary (simplest method is to generate
+ it with the NXP PinMux tool)
+#. The `dcd_data` has to be adapted. That is used for example to initialize
+ SDRAM.
+#. `imxrt_flexspi_config` has to be adapted to match the Flash connected to
+ FlexSPI (if that is used).
+#. `BOARD_InitDEBUG_UARTPins` should be adapted to match the used system
+ console.

-------------

-The commercial variant of the i.MXRT1052 on the evaluation board allows a clock

Populate R278, R279, R280, R281 on the IMXRT1050-EVKB (Rev A) to use the SPI
pins on the Arduino connector.
+By default, the native chip selects are used. If you want to use GPIOs as chip
+select instead, you can use the `cs-gpios` and `num-cs` attributes just like on
+a Linux SPI controller. A maximum of `IMXRT_LPSPI_MAX_CS` pins can be used.
+
+The hardware doesn't support selecting no native chip select during a transfer.
+Therefore one native chip select has to be reserved as a dummy if you want to be
+able to use GPIOs. The pin function for this chip select must not be configured
+on any pin. Dummy will be the first of the first four chip selects that is not a
+native one. Example configuration::
+
+ &lpspi4 {
+ status = "okay";
+ pinctrl-0 = <&my_pinctrl_lpspi4>;
+ cs-gpios = <0>, <0>, <&gpio1 1 0>, <0>, <&gpio11 5 1>;
+ num-cs = <5>;
+ }
+
+In this case, CS2 will be the dummy chip select and no pin must be configured
+with that function. CS0, CS1 and CS3 are just native chip selects and should be
+used via pin functions. GPIO1.1 is used as a high active CS and GPIO11.5 a low
+active one.

Limitations:
* Only a basic SPI driver is implemented. This is mostly a driver limitation and
not a hardware one.
+* GPIO CS pins on i.MXRT10xx are not tested. The chip has a lot of errate so
+ they might not work.
+* Switching from one mode (CPOL/CPHA) to another one can lead to single wrong
+ edges on the CLK line if GPIO CS pins are involved. Make sure to stuff a dummy
+ transfer with `SPI_NO_CS` set if you use multiple modes together with a GPIO
+ CS.

+The suggested method to import new or updated files is to apply all RTEMS
+patches to the mcux-sdk repository, rebase them to the latest mcux-sdk release

+Clocks and SDRAM
+----------------
The clock configuration support is quite rudimentary. The same is true for
SDRAM. It mostly relies on the DCD and on a static clock configuration that is
taken from the NXP SDK example projects.
-The MPU settings are currently quite permissive.
+If you need to adapt the DCD or clock config to support a different hardware,
+you should generate these files using the NXP MCUXpresso Configuration Tools.
+You can add the generated files to your application to overwrite the default
+RTEMS ones or you can add them to RTEMS in a new BSP variant.
+
+As a special case, the imxrt1052 BSP will adapt it's PLL setting based on the
+chip variant. The commercial variant of the i.MXRT1052 will use a core clock of
+600MHz for the ARM core. The industrial variants only uses 528MHz. For other
+chip or BSP variants, you should adapt the files generated with the MCUXpresso
+Configuration Tools.
