|
|
####################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
The EK-RA8M1 is an Evaluation Kit for Renesas RA8M1 MCU Group which is the first
|

|
|
and peripherals set optimized on board allows user to seamlessly evaluate the features
|
|

Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Applications for the ``ek_ra8m1`` board configuration can be
|
|
built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See
|
|
:ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run` for more details on
|
|
building and running.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Only support from SDK v0.16.6 in which GCC for Cortex Arm-M85 was available.
|
|
To build for EK-RA8M1 user need to get and install GNU Arm Embedded toolchain from https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases/tag/v0.16.6
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Program can be flashed to EK-RA8M1 via the on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger.
|
|
SEGGER J-link's drivers are avaialbe at https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/
|
|
|
|
To flash the program to board
|
|
|
|
1. Connect to J-Link OB via USB port to host PC
|
|
|
|
2. Make sure J-Link OB jumper is in default configuration as describe in `EK-RA8M1 - User's Manual`_
|
|
|
|
3. Execute west command
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
west flash -r jlink
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
You can use Segger Ozone (`Segger Ozone Download`_) for a visual debug interface
|
|
|
|
Once downloaded and installed, open Segger Ozone and configure the debug project
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
* Target Device: R7FA8M1AH
|
|
* Target Interface: SWD
|
|
* Target Interface Speed: 4 MHz
|
|
* Host Interface: USB
|
|
* Program File: <path/to/your/build/zephyr.elf>
|
|
|
|
**Note:** It's verified that we can debug OK on Segger Ozone v3.30d so please use this or later
|
|
version of Segger Ozone
