i.MX RT1170 – A Visual System Atlas

A visual-first technical guide to the complete system architecture, distilled into high-quality infographics for engineers and architects.

No Code. No Registers. Just Architecture.

i.MX RT1170 Visual System Atlas Cover

Why Datasheets Are Not Enough

Dense & Fragmented

3000+ pages of reference manual. Information scattered across sections with no clear map.

System-Level Gaps

No single document shows how subsystems connect. Architecture decisions remain unclear.

Hours of Searching

Scattered information across App Notes, Errata, and forums. No unified architectural view.

A Visual-First Approach to System Architecture

  • Complex systems explained through carefully designed infographics
  • Mental models that stick, not register dumps that confuse
  • Architecture clarity before implementation details
  • Designed to be understood at a glance
