Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
The DesignWare(R) ARC(R) IoT Development Kit is a versatile platform that
|
|
includes the necessary hardware and software to accelerate software
|
|
development and debugging of sensor fusion, voice recognition, and face
|
|
detection designs. The ARC IoT Development Kit includes a silicon
|
|
implementation of the ARC Data Fusion IP Subsystem running at 144 MHz on
|
|
SMIC's 55-nm ultra-low power process, and a rich set of peripherals commonly
|
|
used in IoT designs such as USB, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, SDIO, and ADCs.

Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Required Hardware and Software
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
To use Zephyr RTOS applications on the IoT Development Kit board, a few
|
|
additional pieces of hardware are required.
|
|
|
|
* A micro USB cable provides power to the board; however, if the
|
|
board is to run standalone, the universal switching power adaptor (110-240V
|
|
AC to 5V DC), provided in the package, can be used to power the board.
|
|
|
|
* :ref:`The Zephyr SDK <zephyr_sdk>`
|
|
|
|
* Terminal emulator software for use with the USB-UART. Suggestion:
|
|
`Putty Website`_.
|
|
|
|
* (optional) A collection of Pmods, Arduino modules, or Mikro modules.
|
|
See `Digilent Pmod Modules`_ or develop your custom interfaces to attach
|
|
to the Pmod connector.
|
|
|
|
Set up the ARC IoT Development Kit
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
To run Zephyr application on IoT Development Kit, you need to
|
|
setup the board correctly.
|
|
|
|
* Connect the digilent usb cable from your host to the board.
|
|
|
|
* Connect the 5V DC power supply to your board (optional).
|
|
|
|
Set up Zephyr Software
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Building Sample Applications
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
You can try many of the sample applications or tests, but let us discuss
|
|
the one called :ref:`hello_world`.
|
|
It is found in :zephyr_file:`samples/hello_world`.
|
|
|
|
Configuring
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You may need to write a prj_arc.conf file if the sample doesn't have one.
|
|
Next, you can use the menuconfig rule to configure the target. By specifying
|
|
``iotdk`` as the board configuration, you can select the ARC IoT Development
|
|
Kit board support for Zephyr.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:board: iotdk
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
|
|
:goals: menuconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can build an application in the usual way. Refer to
|
|
:ref:`build_an_application` for more details. Here is an example for
|
|
:ref:`hello_world`.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:board: iotdk
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
|
|
:maybe-skip-config:
|
|
:goals: build
|
|
|
|
Connecting Serial Output
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
In the default configuration, Zephyr's IoT Development Kit images support
|
|
serial output via the USB-UART on the board. To enable serial output:
|
|
|
|
* Open a serial port emulator (i.e. on Linux minicom, putty, screen, etc)
|
|
|
|
* Specify the tty driver name, for example, on Linux this may be
|
|
:file:`/dev/ttyUSB0`
|
|
|
|
* Set the communication settings to:
|
|
|
|

|
|
Debugging
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Using the latest version of Zephyr SDK(>=0.9), you can debug and flash IoT
|
|
Development Kit directly.
|
|
|
|
One option is to build and debug the application using the usual
|
|
Zephyr build system commands.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:board: iotdk
|
|
:app: <my app>
|
|
:goals: debug
|
|
|
|
At this point you can do your normal debug session. Set breakpoints and then
|
|
'c' to continue into the program.
|
|
|
|
The other option is to launch a debug server, as follows.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:board: iotdk
|
|
:app: <my app>
|
|
:goals: debugserver
|
|
|
|
Then connect to the debug server at the IoT Development Kit from a second
|
|
console, from the build directory containing the output :file:`zephyr.elf`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cd <my app>
|
|
$ $ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR/arc-zephyr-elf/bin/arc-zephyr-elf-gdb zephyr.elf
|
|
(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
|
|
(gdb) load
|
|
(gdb) b main
|
|
(gdb) c
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
If you just want to download the application to the IoT Development Kit's CCM
|
|
and run, you can do so in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:board: iotdk
|
|
:app: <my app>
|
|
:goals: flash
|
|
|
|
This command still uses openocd and gdb to load the application elf file to
|
|
IoT Development Kit, but it will load the application and immediately run. If
|
|
power is removed, the application will be lost since it wasn't written to flash.
|
|
|
|
Most of the time you will not be flashing your program but will instead debug
|
|
it using openocd and gdb. The program can be download via the USB cable into
|
|
the code and data memories.
|
|
|
|
When you are ready to deploy the program so that it boots up automatically on
|
|
reset or power-up, you can follow the steps to place the program on SPI-FLASH
|
|
or internal eFlash.
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to write your program to FLASH, refer to the
|
|
documentation on the IoT Development Kit at the `embARC website`_.
