Programming and debugging on it83202
************************************
In order to upload the application to the device,
you'll need our flash tool and Download board.
You can get them at: `ITE's website`_.
Wiring
=======
#. Connect the Download Board to your host computer using the USB cable.
#. Connect the it8xxx2_evb to your host computer or a 5V1A USB power supply.
#. Connect the Download Board J5 to J8 on the it8xxx2_evb board.
#. Connect the USB to UART wire to it8xxx2_evb.

Building
========
#. Build :ref:`hello_world` application as you would normally do
(see :`Zephyr Getting Started Guide`_):.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:board: it8xxx2_evb
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:goals: build
#. The file :file:`zephyr.bin` will be created by west.
Flashing
========
Windows
--------
Use the winflash tool to program a zephyr application
to the it8xxx2 board flash.
#. Open winflash tool and make sure the order you open the switch is right.
Fisrt, turn on the Download board switch.
Second, turn on the it8xxx2_evb board switch.
Then, configure your winflash tool like below.
.. figure:: WinFlashTool_P2.jpg
:align: center
.. figure:: WinFlashTool_P4.jpg
#. Using winflash tool flash zephyr.bin into your ITE board.
First, click ``Load`` button and select your zephyr.bin file.
Second, click ``run`` to flash the iamge into board.
.. figure:: WinFlashTool_P3.jpg
:align: center
#. At this point, you have flashed your image into ITE board and
it will work if you turn on ITE board. You can use a terminal program
to verify flashing worked correctly.
For example, open device manager to find the USB Serial Port(COM4) and use your
terminal program to connect it(Speed: 115200).
.. figure:: WinFlashTool_P1.jpg
:align: center
#. Turn on the it8xxx2_evb board switch, you should see ``"Hello World! it8xxx2_evb"``
sent by the board. If you don't see this message, press the Reset button and the
message should appear.
Ubuntu
--------
#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.
Under Linux the terminal should be :code:`/dev/ttyUSB0`. Do not close it.
For example:
.. code-block:: console
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
#. Open a second terminal window and use linux flash tool to flash your board.
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo ~/itetool/ite -f build/zephyr/zephyr.bin
.. note:: The source code of ITE tool can be downloaded here:
https://www.ite.com.tw/uploads/product_download/itedlb4-linux-v106.tar.bz2
#. Split first and second terminal windows to view both of them.
You should see ``"Hello World! it8xxx2_evb"`` in the first terminal window.
If you don't see this message, press the Reset button and the message should appear.
Debugging
=========
Supporting uart debug, currently.
Troubleshooting
===============
#. If the flash tool reports a failure, re-plug the 8390 Download board or
power cycle the it8xxx2_evb board and try again.
