About the Book
Stop Reading 3,000-Page Manuals. Start Seeing the Architecture.
The NXP i.MX RT1170 is a beast of a microcontroller. Breaking the 1GHz barrier, it bridges the gap between high-performance Application Processors and real-time Microcontrollers. But understanding its massive documentation—spanning thousands of pages of text—is a daunting task for even the most experienced engineer.
i.MX RT1170 – A Visual System Atlas is the shortcut.
This is not a programming tutorial or a register reference. It is a pure architectural guide, distilled into high-fidelity, dark-mode infographics. We have taken the dense technical specifications and converted them into intuitive visual maps that explain how the system works, not just what it is.
Inside this Visual Guide:
- The GHz Revolution: Understand the "Crossover" concept and where the RT1170 fits in the market.
- Dual-Core Symphony: A clear visual breakdown of how the Cortex-M7 (Performance) and Cortex-M4 (Real-time) cores coexist and communicate.
- The Power Grid: Demystifying the complex power domains, DCDC converters, and low-power modes (Run vs. Suspend vs. SNVS).
- Memory & Smart DMA: Visualizing the data highways (TCM, OCRAM, SDRAM) and how to move data without waking the CPU.
- The Intelligent Edge: A guide to TinyML, the eIQ ecosystem, and hardware acceleration (PXP) for machine learning.
- Connectivity & Multimedia: From Gigabit Ethernet with TSN to the pixel pipeline and 2D Vector Graphics engine.
Who is this book for?
- System Architects who need to validate feasibility without getting lost in minutiae.
- Embedded Engineers who need a mental model of the chip before writing the first line of code.
- Hardware Designers planning board layouts and power trees.
No Code. No Registers. Just Architecture. Save weeks of reading and gain a system-level mastery of the i.MX RT1170 in an afternoon.

About the Author
Marvani Academy
Marvani Academy is an independent technical education initiative focused on explaining complex embedded systems through clear system-level thinking and visual architecture.
Founded by engineers with real-world industry experience, Marvani Academy specializes in breaking down modern microcontrollers, real-time systems, and high-performance embedded platforms into concise, visual mental models that engineers can actually use in design, debugging, and technical decision-making.
Rather than teaching through code snippets or register-level documentation, Marvani Academy emphasizes:
- system architecture and data flow
- real-time behavior and determinism
- memory and performance trade-offs
- power, boot, and security in context
- common architectural failure modes seen in real products
The goal is not to replace reference manuals or SDK documentation, but to complement them by helping engineers understand why systems behave the way they do.
Marvani Academy creates visual-first technical content for:
- embedded systems engineers
- system architects
- Field Application Engineers (FAEs)
- technical leads working on complex embedded products
i.MX RT1170 – A Visual System Atlas is the first release in a series of visual engineering references designed to make advanced embedded systems easier to reason about, communicate, and design correctly.

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase
We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.
(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)
In fact, authors have earned over $15 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
