HiKey960 Development Board Hardware User Manual Introduction The HiKey960 Development Board is a 96Boards compliant community board based on Hisilicon Kirin960 SoC. The following table lists its key features: Kirin 960 SoC Processor 4x Cortex-A73 @ 2.4GHz 4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.8GHz...
To start the board, follow these simple steps: step1. Connect the HiKey960 to your display with the HDMI cable. It is important to do this first becausethe monitor will not detect the board if it is connected after starting. Ensure that the source for the displayis switched to the HDMI port you are using.
Storage The Hikey960 Development Board provides an 32GB UFS which is compliant with UFS2.0. Micro SDHC The Hikey960 Development Board SD slot signals are routed directly to the Kirin960 SDC interface. It meets the SD3.0 standard. Boot ROM The Hikey960 Development Board boots up from the UFS.
USB Ports The Hikey960 Development Board supports a USB OTG port and three USB host ports via a USB MUX. The input channel( D+/D-) of USB MUX is connected to the usb port of the SOC, and the two output channels(1D+/1D-,2D+/2D-) are connected to type C USB port and USB hub respectively.
HiKey960 Development Board Hardware User Manual USB OTG ports The Hikey960 Development Board implements a OTG port. The port is located at J1701, a type C USB. Note: the board can work in one mode at a time, Host mode or Device mode, not both.
TheHikey960 Development Board drives the four LEDs from the soc GPIO: GPIO150, GPIO151, GPIO189and GPIO190. Additional Functionality The Hikey960 Development Board also has a additional interface for user debugging. It includes JTAG interface. The position is reserved, but the component is not mounted in the mass production. 12/20...
2-wire UART, UART1 on the Low Speed Expansion Connector.The HiKey960 Development Board implements UART3 as a 4-wire UART that connects directly to theMT6797 SoC. These signals are driven at 1.8V.The HiKey960 Development Board implements UART6 as a 2-wire UART that connects directly to theMT6797 SoC. These signals are driven at 1.8V.
Connector. The CLK, FS and DO signals are required while the DI is optional. The HiKey960 Development Board implements a I2S interface with 4 wires, CLK, FS, DO and DI. The signals are connected directly to the Kirin960 SoC and driven at 1.8V.

A minimum of one lane is required and up to four lanes can be accommodated on the connector. The Hikey960 Development Board implementation supports a full four lane (1.2Gbps/lane) MIPI-DSI interface that is routed to the High Speed Expansion Connector. The MIPI-DSI signals are directly connected to DSI-0 of Kirin960.

ExpansionConnector. Both interfaces are optional. CSI0 interface can be up to four lanes while CSI1 is up to twolanes. The Hikey960 Development Board implementation supports a full four lane MIPI-CSI interface on CSI0 and two lanes of MIPI-CSI on CSI1. All MIPI-CSI signals are routed directly to/from the Kirin960 SoC.
