Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
FRDM-MCXA156 are compact and scalable development boards for rapid prototyping of
|
|
MCX A15X MCUs. They offer industry standard headers for easy access to the
|
|
MCUs I/Os, integrated open-standard serial interfaces, external flash memory and
|
|
an on-board MCU-Link debugger. MCX N Series are high-performance, low-power
|
|
microcontrollers with intelligent peripherals and accelerators providing multi-tasking
|
|
capabilities and performance efficiency.
|
|
|
|

System Clock
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The MCX-A156 SoC is configured to use FRO running at 96MHz as a source for
|
|
the system clock.
|
|
|
|
Serial Port
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The FRDM-MCXA156 SoC has 5 LPUART interfaces for serial communication.
|
|
LPUART 0 is configured as UART for the console.
|
|
|
|
Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
|
|
:ref:`application_run` for more details).
|
|
|
|
Configuring a Debug Probe
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is
|
|
configured by default to use the MCU-Link CMSIS-DAP Onboard Debug Probe.
|
|
|
|
Using LinkServer
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Linkserver is the default runner for this board, and supports the factory
|
|
default MCU-Link firmware. Follow the instructions in
|
|
:ref:`mcu-link-cmsis-onboard-debug-probe` to reprogram the default MCU-Link
|
|
firmware. This only needs to be done if the default onboard debug circuit
|
|
firmware was changed. To put the board in ``DFU mode`` to program the firmware,
|
|
short jumper JP5.
|
|
|
|
Using J-Link
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
There are two options. The onboard debug circuit can be updated with Segger
|
|
J-Link firmware by following the instructions in
|
|
:ref:`mcu-link-jlink-onboard-debug-probe`.
|
|
To be able to program the firmware, you need to put the board in ``DFU mode``
|
|
by shortening the jumper JP5.
|
|
The second option is to attach a :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` to the
|
|
10-pin SWD connector (J24) of the board. Additionally, the jumper JP7 must
|
|
be shortened.
|
|
For both options use the ``-r jlink`` option with west to use the jlink runner.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
west flash -r jlink
|
|
|
|
Configuring a Console
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Connect a USB cable from your PC to J21, and use the serial terminal of your choice
|
|
(minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:
|
|
|
|
- Speed: 115200
|
|
- Data: 8 bits
|
|
- Parity: None
|
|
- Stop bits: 1
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
|
|
:board: frdm_mcxa156
|
|
:goals: flash
|
|
|
|
Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the RESET button), and you should
|
|
see the following message in the terminal:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
*** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.6.0-4478-ge6c3a42f5f52 ***
|
|
Hello World! frdm_mcxa156/mcxa156
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
|
|
:board: frdm_mcxa156/mcxa156
|
|
:goals: debug
|
|
|
|
Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you
|
|
should see the following message in the terminal:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
*** Booting Zephyr OS build v3.6.0-4478-ge6c3a42f5f52 ***
