  • Config Tools for i.MX Applications Processors

    Processor Expert Software for i.MX Processors is a suite of configuration tools for the i.MX family of processors. It contains the Pin Settings Tool which provides an easy way to configure pin signals, from multiplexing (muxing) to the electrical properties of pins. With the Pin Settings Tool all the pins can be configured with a graphical user interface, and then generate normal C code which then can be used in the application.
