Supported Features
==================
The efm32pg_stk3402a board configuration supports the following hardware features:
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
+===========+============+=====================================+
| MPU | on-chip | memory protection unit |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| NVIC | on-chip | nested vector interrupt controller |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| SYSTICK | on-chip | systick |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| COUNTER | on-chip | rtcc |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| FLASH | on-chip | flash memory |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| GPIO | on-chip | gpio |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| UART | on-chip | serial port-polling; |
| | | serial port-interrupt |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| I2C | on-chip | i2c port-polling |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| WATCHDOG | on-chip | watchdog |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| TRNG | on-chip | true random number generator |
+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
The default configuration can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/silabs/efm32pg_stk3402a/efm32pg_stk3402a_efm32pg12b500f1024gl125_defconfig`
The default configuration when building for this EFM32JG12B SoC can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/silabs/efm32pg_stk3402a/efm32pg_stk3402a_efm32jg12b500f1024gl125_defconfig`
Other hardware features are currently not supported by the port.
EFM32 Jade Gecko SoC
--------------------
The EFM32 Pearl Gecko Starter Kit EFM32PG-STK3402A can also be used to evaluate
the EFM32 Jade Gecko SoC (EFM32JG12B). The only difference between the Pearl
Gecko and the Jade Gecko is their core. The Pearl Gecko contains an ARM®
Cortex®-M4F core, and the Jade Gecko an ARM® Cortex®-M3 core. Other features
such as memory and peripherals are the same.
Code that is built for the Jade Gecko also runs on an equivalent Pearl Gecko.
To build firmware for the Jade Gecko and run it on the EFM32 Pearl Gecko Starter
Kit, use the board ``efm32pg_stk3402a/efm32pg12b500f1024gl125`` instead of ``efm32pg_stk3402a/efm32jg12b500f1024gl125``.
Connections and IOs
===================
The EFM32PG12 SoC has twelve GPIO controllers (PORTA to PORTL), but only four
are currently enabled (PORTA, PORTB, PORTD and PORTF) for the EFM32PG-STK3402A
board.
In the following table, the column **Name** contains pin names. For example, PE2
means pin number 2 on PORTE, as used in the board's datasheets and manuals.
+-------+-------------+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Function | Usage |
+=======+=============+=====================================+
| PF4 | GPIO | LED0 |
+-------+-------------+-------------------------------------+
| PF5 | GPIO | LED1 |
+-------+-------------+-------------------------------------+
| PF6 | GPIO | Push Button PB0 |

+-------+-------------+-------------------------------------+
System Clock
============
The EFM32PG SoC is configured to use the 40 MHz external oscillator on the
board.
Serial Port
===========
The EFM32PG SoC has four USARTs and one Low Energy UART (LEUART).
Programming and Debugging
*************************
.. note::
Before using the kit the first time, you should update the J-Link firmware
from `J-Link-Downloads`_
Flashing
========
The EFM32PG-STK3402A includes an `J-Link`_ serial and debug adaptor built into the
board. The adaptor provides:
- A USB connection to the host computer, which exposes a mass storage device and a
USB serial port.
- A serial flash device, which implements the USB flash disk file storage.
- A physical UART connection which is relayed over interface USB serial port.
Flashing an application to EFM32PG-STK3402A
-------------------------------------------
The sample application :ref:`hello_world` is used for this example.
Build the Zephyr kernel and application:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: efm32pg_stk3402a/efm32pg12b500f1024gl125
:goals: build
Connect the EFM32PG-STK3402A to your host computer using the USB port and you
should see a USB connection which exposes a mass storage device(STK3402A).
Copy the generated zephyr.bin to the STK3402A drive.
Use a USB-to-UART converter such as an FT232/CP2102 to connect to the UART on the
expansion header.
Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
Reset the board and you'll see the following message on the corresponding serial port
terminal session:
.. code-block:: console
