Overview |
|
******** |
|
|
|
FRDM-MCXA166 are compact and scalable development boards for rapid prototyping of |
|
MCX A16X MCUs. They offer industry standard headers for easy access to the MCUs I/Os, |
|
integrated open-standard serial interfaces and an on-board MCU-Link debugger. |
|
MCX A Series are high-performance, low-power microcontrollers with MAU,SmartDMA and performance efficiency. |
|
|
|

Supported Features |
|
================== |
|
|
|
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw:: |
|
|
|
Connections and IOs |
|
=================== |
|
|
|
The MCX-A166 SoC has 6 gpio controllers and has pinmux registers which |
|
can be used to configure the functionality of a pin. |
|
|
|
+------------+-----------------+----------------------------+ |
|
| Name | Function | Usage | |
|
+============+=================+============================+ |
|
| PIO2_3 | UART | UART RX | |
|
+------------+-----------------+----------------------------+ |
|
| PIO2_2 | UART | UART TX | |
|
+------------+-----------------+----------------------------+ |
|
|
|
System Clock |
|
============ |
|
|
|
The MCX-A166 SoC is configured to use FRO running at 180MHz as a source for |
|
the system clock. |
|
|
|
Serial Port |
|
=========== |
|
|
|
The FRDM-MCXA166 SoC has 6 LPUART interfaces for serial communication. |
|
LPUART 2 is configured as UART for the console. |
|
|
|
Programming and Debugging |
|
************************* |
|
|
|
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners:: |
|
|
|
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 ``ISP mode`` to program the firmware, |
|
short jumper JP4. |
|
|
|
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 ``ISP mode`` |
|
by shortening the jumper JP4. |
|
The second option is to attach a :ref:`jlink-external-debug-probe` to the |
|
10-pin SWD connector (J14) of the board. Additionally, the jumper JP6 must |
|
be shorted. |
|
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 J15, 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_mcxa166 |
|
: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_mcxa166/mcxa166 |
|
|
|
Debugging |
|
========= |
|
|
|
Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application. |
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
|
:board: frdm_mcxa166/mcxa166 |
|
: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 *** |
|
Hello World! frdm_mcxa166/mcxa166 |
