Overview
The main advantage of this solution is the number of components needed and thus a board cost. On the other hand, before we will use this IC, we need to configure it first . Because of our special requirements, we could not use any of the offered pre-programmed version for this PMIC (we used a NP version). The programming procedure affects the One Time Programmable (OTP) registers. This PMIC series offer also an option to try it without permanent programming - Try Before Buy mode. For more info about the procedure have a look at the product datasheet (original document here) and at the programming application note (or here).Testing with development board
Before we will program the OpenRex board, we will test the configuration using MMPF0100 evaluation board. This board provides all the PMIC options and capabilities. We also test configuring PMIC with PF Series Programmer. The procedure described below is slightly more complicated than the recommended programming steps, but this way we will emulate how the OpenRex board will be used.Programming procedure with the development board:
1. Download and install the latest software for the PF family (you may need to sign up at the NXP site). Note: From version 4.1 and above, you don't need to download any other software and drivers (as described in datasheet).
2. Open PF_Series_HID.application and connect PF Series Programmer with PC using USB Mini cable.
3. Check development board jumpers. Use default jumper configuration as described in evaluation kit datasheet with these exceptions:
- OTP programming voltage jumper J17: fit in 3-4 position (start-up from TBBOTP registers)
- 3V3 voltage selection jumper J46: when programming use 1-2 position
5. Connect programmer together with evaluation board header J36.
6. Enable Target and scan for the devices in the application. At this point you should see these messages in the log area:
Target = PF-Programmer Device Found 3.3V Supply Enabled Target Enabled Device with address [0x08] available
7. Go to script Editor tab and Copy there our Try before buy script.
8. Run the script. At this point your GUI should look something like this.
9. Fit link J26 (Tie PWRON to low)
10. Send command through Script editor (clear existing first) to put PWRON high (send PWRON:HIGH).
11. Change link position on jumper J46 from 1-2 to 3-4 (to switch the 3V3 source voltage).
12. Remove programming header.
13. Release PWRON signal (remove the link from J26).
14. Board should now start, you can test your configuration.
Programming the PMIC on OpenRex board
First batch of our OpenRex board arrived non programmed. During the initial testing we will use TBB mode. After the interfaces will be tested and after we are sure that all voltages are working as expected, we will program the PMIC permanently.Hardware connection
Temporarily we will connected the programmer into our board this way:
Important notes:
- Remove resistor bypassing I2C1 with PMIC I2C (Remove R238 and R247)
- Place pullup resistors to I2C signals
- PMIC VDDOTP voltage should be disconnected for Try-Before-Buy mode (just to be safe)
- +3V3 power voltage is protected from backward leaking from board to programmer (we used a standard 1A Schottky diode)
| Position - Ribbon color | Programmer header | OpenRex | |

| Pin 2 - red | V3V3 ->diode-> | +3V3 (R226-pin 2) | |
| Pin 3 - orange | GROUND | GND (U23-pin 2) | |

Try-before-buy programming procedure
For temporary programming we will use slightly updated process as we use with development board:1. Open PF_Series_HID.application and connect PF Series Programmer with PC using USB Mini cable
2. Connect 5V input voltage to the OpenRex board
3. Plug the connector with soldered wires into the PMIC programmer
4. Enable Target and scan for the devices in the application. At this point you should see these messages in the log area:
Target = PF-Programmer Device Found 3.3V Supply Enabled Target Enabled Device with address [0x08] available
5. Go to script Editor tab and Copy there our Try before buy script. Run the script
6. Fit link between PWRON and GND
7. Send command through Script editor (clear existing first) to put PWRON high (send PWRON:HIGH)
8. Remove programming header
9. Release PWRON signal (remove the link)
10. If everything else was setup correctly u-boot will now appear on the serial console
One-time-programming procedure
Steps for permanent setup of PMIC fuses are exactly the same as for TBB mode just in the point 5 load One time programming script instead. Be sure VDDOTP voltage is connected to the board.Caution: Do not try to program fuses your OpenRex board - it has been already programmed!
