Other hardware features are not currently supported by Zephyr.

The default configuration can be found in the Kconfig
:zephyr_file:`boards/arm/arduino_nano_33_iot/arduino_nano_33_iot_defconfig`.

Connections and IOs
===================

The `Arduino store`_ has detailed information about board
connections. Download the `schematic`_ for more detail.

System Clock
============

The SAMD21 MCU is configured to use the 8 MHz internal oscillator
with the on-chip PLL generating the 48 MHz system clock.  The internal
APB and GCLK unit are set up in the same way as the upstream Arduino
libraries.

Serial Port
===========

The SAMD21 MCU has 6 SERCOM based USARTs. SERCOM5 is available on pins 1 and 2.

PWM
===

The SAMD21 MCU has 3 TCC based PWM units with up to 4 outputs each and a period
of 24 bits or 16 bits.  If :code:`CONFIG_PWM_SAM0_TCC` is enabled then LED0 is
driven by TCC2 instead of by GPIO.

SPI Port
========

The SAMD21 MCU has 6 SERCOM based SPIs.  SERCOM1 is available on pins 1, 14,
and 15.

USB Device Port
===============

The SAMD21 MCU has a USB device port that can be used to communicate
with a host PC.  See the :ref:`usb-samples` sample applications for
more, such as the :ref:`usb_cdc-acm` sample which sets up a virtual
serial port that echos characters back to the host PC.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

The Nano 33 IOT ships the BOSSA compatible UF2 bootloader.  The
bootloader can be entered by quickly tapping the reset button twice.

Additionally, if :code:`CONFIG_USB_CDC_ACM` is enabled then the bootloader
will be entered automatically when you run :code:`west flash`.

Flashing
========

#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :ref:`hello_world` sample application:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: arduino_nano_33_iot
      :goals: build
      :compact:

#. Connect the Nano 33 IOT to your host computer using USB

#. Connect a 3.3 V USB to serial adapter to the board and to the
   host.  See the `Serial Port`_ section above for the board's pin
   connections.

#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. Under Linux the
   terminal should be :code:`/dev/ttyACM0`. For example:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -o

   The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
   string. Connection should be configured as follows:

   - Speed: 115200
   - Data: 8 bits
   - Parity: None
   - Stop bits: 1

#. Tap the reset button twice quickly to enter bootloader mode

#. Flash the image:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: arduino_nano_33_iot
      :goals: flash
      :compact:

   You should see "Hello World! arduino_nano_33_iot" in your terminal.
