The definitive visual guide to system architecture. Distilled from 3,000+ pages of reference manuals into 50+ high-fidelity infographics. No code. No registers. Just architecture.
Why thousands of pages of documentation leave senior engineers more confused than when they started.
The reference manual is 3,000+ pages long. Information is scattered across hundreds of chapters with no clear summary or map connecting them.
Subsystems focus on peripherals in isolation. No single document shows how complex subsystems interact locally vs globally architecture.
Engineers waste time on basic start ups finding relevant specs buried in App Notes, Errata, and Forums. No provided unified view.
A deep dive into every critical system of the i.MX RT1170. 48+ pages of pure technical visuals. High-resolution PDF, printable format.
What "Crossover MCU" really means. M7 & M4 workload partitioning and inter-core communication.
Hierarchy, regions, and access costs. OCRAM vs SDRAM and optimizing for bandwidth.
Masters, slaves, and arbitration. Understanding the system's central nervous system.
Reset domains, power gating strategies, and the boot sequence explained.
Trust zones, High-Assurance Boot (HAB), and cryptographic accelerators.
Interrupt latency, determinism, and ensuring hard real-time guarantees.
2D GPU, PXP, industrial connectivity, and the multimedia powerhouse.
Deploying models with eIQ, NPU acceleration, and system pipeline integration.
Understanding hardware constraints before writing or optimizing firmware.
Designing memory, interconnect, and performance paths at system level.
Explaining architectural trade-offs and real-time behavior clearly to customers.
Evaluating real-time dual-core platforms quickly and confidently.
Building system-level understanding beyond tutorials and registers.
Learning modern MCU architecture through visual mental models.
Designed to be understood at a glance. No clutter. Just clarity.
i.MX RT1170 – A Visual System Atlas eBook Cover
Complete System Architecture & Crossover Overview
No. This atlas complements the reference manual by providing architectural context and visual understanding. You'll still need the datasheet for register-level details.
This atlas focuses on the core RT1170 architecture. The architectural concepts apply to the crossover family, though specific variant differences are not covered.
High-resolution PDF, optimized for both screen viewing and printing. Works great on tablets and large monitors.
Yes. Purchasers receive lifetime access to updates and corrections at no additional cost.
