+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.
See the `V2M Beetle Website`_ for a complete list of V2M Beetle board hardware
features.
The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
.. code-block:: console
boards/arm/v2m_beetle/v2m_beetle_defconfig
Interrupt Controller
====================
Beetle is a Cortex-M3 based SoC and has 15 fixed exceptions and 45 IRQs.
A Cortex-M3/4-based board uses vectored exceptions. This means each exception
calls a handler directly from the vector table.
Handlers are provided for exceptions 1-6, 11-12, and 14-15. The table here
identifies the handlers used for each exception.
+------+------------+----------------+--------------------------+

Pin Mapping
===========
The ARM V2M Beetle Board has 4 GPIO controllers. These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.
All GPIO controller pins are exposed via the following sequence of pin numbers:
- Pins 0 - 15 are for GPIO 0
- Pins 16 - 31 are for GPIO 1
Mapping from the ARM V2M Beetle Board pins to GPIO controllers:

System Clock
============
V2M Beetle has one external and two on-chip oscillators. The slow clock is
32.768 kHz, and the main clock is 24 MHz. The processor can set up PLL to drive
the master clock.
Serial Port
===========
The ARM Beetle processor has two UARTs. Both the UARTs have only two wires for
RX/TX and no flow control (CTS/RTS) or FIFO. The Zephyr console output, by
default, is utilizing UART1.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Flashing
========
CMSIS DAP
---------
V2M Beetle provides:
- A USB connection to the host computer, which exposes a Mass Storage and an
USB Serial Port.
- A Serial Flash device, which implements the USB flash disk file storage.
- A physical UART connection which is relayed over interface USB Serial port.
This interfaces are exposed via CMSIS DAP. For more details please refer
to `CMSIS-DAP Website`_.
Flashing an application to V2M Beetle
-------------------------------------
You can build applications in the usual way. Here is an example for
the :ref:`hello_world` application.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: v2m_beetle
:goals: build
Connect the V2M Beetle to your host computer using the USB port and you should
see a USB connection which exposes a Mass Storage (MBED) and a USB Serial Port.
Copy the generated zephyr.bin in the MBED drive.
Reset the board and you should be able to see on the corresponding Serial Port
the following message:
.. code-block:: console
