them are enabled for the EFR32-SLWSTK6061A board.
|
|
|
|
In the following table, the column **Name** contains Pin names. For example, PA2
|
|
means Pin number 2 on PORTA, as used in the board's datasheets and manuals.

System Clock
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The EFR32FG1P SoC is configured to use the 38.4 MHz external oscillator on the
|
|
board.
|
|
|
|
Serial Port
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The EFR32FG1P SoC has two USARTs and one Low Energy UARTs (LEUART).
|
|
USART0 is connected to the board controller and is used for the console.
|
|
|
|
Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Before using the kit the first time, you should update the J-Link firmware
|
|
from `J-Link-Downloads`_
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The EFR32-SLWSTK6061A 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 debug interface and a
|
|
USB Serial Port.
|
|
- A physical UART connection which is relayed over interface USB Serial port.
|
|
- An Ethernet connection to support remote debugging.
|
|
|
|
Flashing an application to EFR32-SLWstk6061A
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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: efr32_slwstk6061a
|
|
:goals: build
|
|
|
|
Connect the EFR32-SLWSTK6061A to your host computer using the USB port and you
|
|
should see a USB Serial Port. Use `J-Link`_ or Silicon Labs Simplicity Studio
|
|
to flash the generated zephyr.bin.
|
|
|
|
`OpenOCD`_ included in the Zephyr SDK v0.9.3 is too old and does not support the
|
|
EFR32FG1P chip, neither does the latest OpenOCD 0.10.0 release. You will need to
|
|
compile the newest version of the source code and install the tool yourself.
|
|
Modify the following command if you install OpenOCD to a location different than
|
|
the default /usr/local/.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=efr32_slwstk6061a -DOPENOCD=/usr/local/bin/openocd -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=/usr/local/share/openocd/scripts ..
|
|
ninja flash
|
|
|
|
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 should be able to see on the corresponding Serial Port
|
|
the following message:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
Hello World! arm
