It is suitable for mobile system applications. The picture below is the IT81302 MECC board (also known as it8xxx2_evb) and its debug card. .. figure:: it8xxx2_evb_and_debug_card.jpg :align: center :alt: IT81302 EVB To find out more about ITE, visit our World Wide Web at:`ITE's website`_ Hardware ******** The IT8XXX2 series contains different chip types(ex, it81302, it83202), and they support different hardware features. Listing the IT81302 hardware features as following: - RISC-V RV32IMAFC instruction set - 4KB instruction cache size - 60KB SDRAM in total - Built-in 32.768 kHz clock generator - PWM, eSPI, LPC, FLASH, UART, GPIO, Timer, Watchdog, ADC, JTAG - 6 SMBus channels, with 3 DMA controllers, compatible with I2C - SPI master/slave - USB Type-c CC Logic - USB Power Delivery - Support KB scan Supported Features ================== currently supports the following hardware features: .. list-table:: Supported Features :header-rows: 1 :widths: auto * - Interface - Controller - Driver/Component * - NVIC - on-chip - interrupt controller * - TIMER - on-chip - timer * - UART - on-chip - serial * - GPIO - on-chip - gpio * - ADC - on-chip - adc * - I2C - on-chip - i2c * - KSCAN - on-chip - kscan Other hardware features are not currently supported by Zephyr. The default configuration can be found in the :zephyr_file:`boards/riscv/it8xxx2_evb/it8xxx2_evb_defconfig` Kconfig file. Hardware reworks **************** Before using the it8xxx2_evb, some hardware rework is needed. The HW rework guide can be found in ITE's website. https://www.ite.com.tw/uploads/product_download/IT81302_MECC_Rework_Guide_0927.pdf Programming and debugging on it83202 ************************************ In order to upload the application to the device, you'll need our flash tool and Download board. You can get them at: `ITE's website`_. Wiring ======= #. Connect the Download Board to your host computer using the USB cable. #. Connect the it8xxx2_evb to your host computer or a 5V1A USB power supply. #. Connect the Download Board J5 to J8 on the it8xxx2_evb board. #. Connect the USB to UART wire to it8xxx2_evb. .. image:: it8xxx2_evb_wiring.jpg :align: center :alt: it8xxx2_evb wiring .. note:: Be careful during connection! Use separate wires to connect I2C pins with pins on the it8xxx2_evb board. Wiring connection is described in the table below. +-------------+---------------+ | J5 | it8xxx2_evb | | Connector | J8 Connector | +=============+===============+ | 2 | 1 | +-------------+---------------+ | 3 | 3 | +-------------+---------------+ | 4 | 5 | +-------------+---------------+ For USB to UART cable, connect the it8xxx2_evb as below: +-------------+---------------+ | USB to UART | it8xxx2_evb | | cable | J5 Connector | +=============+===============+ | RX | J5.3 | +-------------+---------------+ | TX | J5.4 | +-------------+---------------+ | GND | eSPI Debug.10 | +-------------+---------------+ Building ======== #. Build :ref:`hello_world` application as you would normally do (see :`Zephyr Getting Started Guide`_):. .. zephyr-app-commands:: :board: it8xxx2_evb :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :goals: build #. The file :file:`zephyr.bin` will be created by west. Flashing ======== Windows -------- Use the winflash tool to program a zephyr application to the it8xxx2 board flash. #. Open winflash tool and make sure the order you open the switch is right. Fisrt, turn on the Download board switch. Second, turn on the it8xxx2_evb board switch. Then, configure your winflash tool like below. .. figure:: WinFlashTool_P2.jpg :align: center .. figure:: WinFlashTool_P4.jpg #. Using winflash tool flash zephyr.bin into your ITE board. First, click ``Load`` button and select your zephyr.bin file. Second, click ``run`` to flash the iamge into board. .. figure:: WinFlashTool_P3.jpg :align: center #. At this point, you have flashed your image into ITE board and it will work if you turn on ITE board. You can use a terminal program to verify flashing worked correctly. For example, open device manager to find the USB Serial Port(COM4) and use your terminal program to connect it(Speed: 115200). .. figure:: WinFlashTool_P1.jpg :align: center #. Turn on the it8xxx2_evb board switch, you should see ``"Hello World! it8xxx2_evb"`` sent by the board. If you don't see this message, press the Reset button and the message should appear. Ubuntu -------- #. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. Under Linux the terminal should be :code:`/dev/ttyUSB0`. Do not close it. For example: .. code-block:: console $ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200 #. Open a second terminal window and use linux flash tool to flash your board. .. code-block:: console $ sudo ~/itetool/ite -f build/zephyr/zephyr.bin .. note:: The source code of ITE tool can be downloaded here: https://www.ite.com.tw/uploads/product_download/itedlb4-linux-v106.tar.bz2 #. Split first and second terminal windows to view both of them. You should see ``"Hello World! it8xxx2_evb"`` in the first terminal window. If you don't see this message, press the Reset button and the message should appear. Debugging ========= Supporting uart debug, currently. Troubleshooting =============== #. If the flash tool reports a failure, re-plug the 8390 Download board or power cycle the it8xxx2_evb board and try again.
