Hexiwear KW40Z
##############

Overview
********

See :ref:`hexiwear_k64` for a general overview of the Hexiwear board and the
main application SoC, the K64. The KW40Z is a secondary SoC on the board that
provides wireless connectivity with a multimode BLE and 802.15.4 radio.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:

	``boards/arm/hexiwear_kw40z/hexiwear_kw40z_defconfig``

Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.

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

The KW40Z SoC has three pairs of pinmux/gpio controllers, but only one is
currently enabled (PORTC/GPIOC) for the hexiwear_kw40z board.

+-------+-----------------+---------------------------+
| Name  | Function        | Usage                     |
+=======+=================+===========================+
| PTB1  | ADC             | ADC0 channel 1            |
+-------+-----------------+---------------------------+
| PTC6  | UART0_RX        | UART BT HCI               |
+-------+-----------------+---------------------------+
| PTC7  | UART0_TX        | UART BT HCI               |
+-------+-----------------+---------------------------+

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

The KW40Z SoC is configured to use the 32 MHz external oscillator on the board
with the on-chip FLL to generate a 40 MHz system clock.

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

The KW40Z SoC has one UART, which is used for BT HCI. There is no UART
available for a console.

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

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Configuring a Debug Probe
=========================

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is
configured by default to use the :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe`,
but because Segger RTT is required for a console, you must reconfigure the
board for one of the following debug probes instead.

:ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe`
----------------------------------------

Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.

Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program
the `OpenSDA J-Link Generic Firmware for V2.1 Bootloader`_. Check that switches
SW1 and SW2 are **off**, and SW3 and SW4 are **on**  to ensure KW40Z SWD signals
are connected to the OpenSDA microcontroller.

Configuring a Console
=====================

The console is available using `Segger RTT`_.

Connect a USB cable from your PC to CN1.

Once you have started a debug session, run telnet:

.. code-block:: console

    $ telnet localhost 19021
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    SEGGER J-Link V6.44 - Real time terminal output
    J-Link OpenSDA 2 compiled Feb 28 2017 19:27:57 V1.0, SN=621000000
    Process: JLinkGDBServerCLExe

Flashing
========

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

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: hexiwear_kw40z
   :goals: flash

The Segger RTT console is only available during a debug session. Use ``attach``
to start one:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: hexiwear_kw40z
   :goals: attach

Run telnet as shown earlier, and you should see the following message in the
terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-rc1 *****
   Hello World! hexiwear_kw40z

Debugging
=========

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

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: hexiwear_kw40z
   :goals: debug

Run telnet as shown earlier, step through the application in your debugger, and
you should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-rc1 *****
   Hello World! hexiwear_kw40z
