System Clock
============
The EFR32MG24 SoC is configured to use the 39 MHz external oscillator on the
board.
Serial Port
===========
The EFR32MG24 SoC has one USART and two EUSARTs.
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 sample application :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` is used for this example.
Build the Zephyr kernel and application:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: sparkfun_thing_plus_mgm240p
:goals: build
Connect the sparkfun_thing_plus_mgm240p to your host computer using the USB port and you
should see a USB connection.
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
Hello World! _sparkfun_thing_plus_matter_mgm240p
Bluetooth
=========
To use the BLE function, run the command below to retrieve necessary binary
blobs from the SiLabs HAL repository.
.. code-block:: console
west blobs fetch silabs
Then build the Zephyr kernel and a Bluetooth sample with the following
command. The :zephyr:code-sample:`bluetooth_observer` sample application is used in
this example.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/observer
:board: sparkfun_thing_plus_matter_mgm240p
