This Application Note is associated with [https://www.dave.eu/en/news-and-media/news/multicore-debug-and-trace-su-nxp-imx8 this webinar] organized by Lauterbach Italy, DAVE Embedded Systems, and NXP in May 2021.
The webinar showed advanced techniques used to debug and trace the code executed by the NXP i.MX8M SoC powering the [[MITO_8M_SOM|Mito8M system-on-module (SoM)]] with the aid of Lauterbach tools. Basically, the hardware platforms used for this demonstration consists of the [[MITO 8M Evaluation Kit|MITO 8M Evaluation Kit]]. This kit comprises three different boards:
* The SoM
* The [[:Category:SBC-AXEL|SBCX carrier board]]
* An adapter board.
It is worth remembering that Mito8M SoM '''is electrically and mechanically compatible with i.MX6-based [[AXEL_Lite_SOM|AxelLite SoM]]'''. Therefore, '''Mito8M can be mated with the SBCX carrier board directly'''. Nevertheless, to leverage all the functionalities provided, an adapter board is required. Namely, the adapter board allows to access physical interfaces that are used for the purposes here discussed.
