   ICE-V Wireless

Hardware
********

This board combines an Espressif ESP32-C3-MINI-1 (which includes 4MB of flash in the module) with a
Lattice iCE40UP5k-SG48 FPGA to allow WiFi and Bluetooth control of the FPGA. ESP32 and FPGA I/O is
mostly uncommitted except for the pins used for SPI communication between ESP32 and FPGA. Several
of the ESP32C3 GPIO pins are available for additonal interfaces such as serial, ADC, I2C, etc.

* `ESP32-C3-MINI-1 Datasheet`_
* `ESP32-C3 Datasheet`_
* `ESP32-C3 Technical Reference Manual`_

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

The ICE-V Wireless provides 1 row of reference, ESP32-C3, and iCE40 signals
brought out to J3, as well as 3 PMOD connectors for interfacing directly to
the iCE40 FPGA. Note that several of the iCE40 pins brought out to the PMOD
connectors are capable of operating as differential pairs.

The J3 pins are 4V, 3.3V, NRST, GPIO2, GPIO3, GPIO8, GPIO9, GPIO10, GPIO20,
GPIO21, FPGA_P34, and GND. Note that GPIO2 and GPIO3 may be configured for
ADC operation.

For PMOD details, please refer to the `PMOD Specification`_ and the image

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

Programming and debugging for the ICE-V Wireless ESP32-C3 target is
incredibly easy 🎉 following the steps below.

Building and Flashing
=====================

For the :code:`Hello, world!` application, follow the instructions below.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: icev_wireless
   :goals: build flash

Since the Zephyr console is by default on the `usb_serial` device, we use
the espressif monitor to view.

.. code-block:: console

   $ west espressif monitor

Debugging
=========

As with much custom hardware, the ESP32C3 modules require patches to
OpenOCD that are not upstreamed. Espressif maintains their own fork of
the project. The custom OpenOCD can be obtained by running the following extension:

.. code-block:: console

   west espressif install

.. note::

   By default, the OpenOCD will be downloaded and installed under $HOME/.espressif/tools/zephyr directory
   (%USERPROFILE%/.espressif/tools/zephyr on Windows).

The Zephyr SDK uses a bundled version of OpenOCD by default. You can overwrite that behavior by adding the
``-DOPENOCD=<path/to/bin/openocd> -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=<path/to/openocd/share/openocd/scripts>``
parameter when building.

Here is an example for building the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: icev_wireless
   :goals: build flash
   :gen-args: -DOPENOCD=<path/to/bin/openocd> -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=<path/to/openocd/share/openocd/scripts>

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the
:ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: icev_wireless
   :maybe-skip-config:
   :goals: debug
