Ronoth LoDev
############

========
Overview
========

The Ronoth_ LoDev_ is a small open source board containing a `AcSIP S76S`_  SiP from AcSIP_.
The `full LoDev design details`_ are available on on GitHub.  The LoDev_ board can be purchased
from Ronoth_ or from CrowdSupply_.

The S76S contains an `STMicro STM32L073RZ`_ MCU, a `Semtech SX1276`_ LoRaWAN transceiver,
and a +20 dBm power amplifier.  Refer to `AcSIP S76S Product Information Brief`_ for details.

Zephyr applications may use the **ronoth_lodev** configuration to run on this board.

`Board design files`_ are available on GitHub.

================
Device Resources
================

The embedded `STMicro STM32L073RZ`_ has some GPIOs and SPI2 internally committed to the LoRaWAN
transceiver operation.  See `internally dedicated ports`_ for a list of resources committed to this function.

=========
Debugging
=========

Programming and debugging uses the SWD port, as on any STM32 processor.  An ST-LINK/V2 adapter
may be used with the appropriate software (*st-utils* package on Linux).

=================
Connector Pin-Out
=================

The LoDev has two rows of headers.  Pin 1 on both connectors is closest to the micro-USB connector on the board,
furthest from the RF (antenna) connector.

When viewed from the top (component) side of the board, with the micro-USB connector closest and RF (antenna)
connector furthest away, the CN6_ connector is on the left, the CN7_ connector is on the right.

UART1 on the S76S SiP is connected to a USB-to-UART device connected to the micro USB connector, so generally
PA9 and PA10 are unavailable for I/Os.

A helpful silkscreen legend is provided on the board.
