| Overview |
| ******** |
| |
| The MEC172xEVB_ASSY6906 kit is a future development platform to evaluate the |
| Microchip MEC172X series microcontrollers. This board needs to be mated with |
| part number MEC172x 144WFBGA SOLDER DC ASSY 6914 (cpu board) in order to operate. |
| MEC172x and MEC152x SPI image formats are not compatible with each other. |

| (5.5mm OD, 2.1mm ID) and move the jumper to ``JP30 5-6``. |
| |
| If you wish to power from micro-USB type A/B connector ``P2``, move the |
| jumper to ``JP30 7-8``. |

| Jumper settings for MEC172x 144WFBGA Socket DC Assy 6914 Rev A0p1 |
| ================================================================= |
| |
| The jumper configuration explained above covers the base board. The ASSY |
| 6914 MEC172x CPU board provides capability for an optional, external 32KHz |
| clock source. The card includes a 32KHz crystal oscillator. The card can |
| also be configured to use an external 50% duty cycle 32KHz source on the |
| XTAL2/32KHZ_IN pin. Note, firmware must set the MEC172x clock enable |
| register to select the external source matching the jumper settings. If |
| using the MEC172x internal silicon oscillator then the 32K jumper settings |
| are don't cares. ``JP1`` on DC is for scoping test clock outputs. Please |
| refer to the schematic in reference section below. |

| Programming and Debugging |
| ************************* |
| |
| Setup |
| ===== |
| |
| #. If you use Dediprog SF100 programmer, then setup it. |
| |
| Windows version can be found at the `SF100 Product page`_. |
| |
| Linux version source code can be found at `SF100 Linux GitHub`_. |
| Follow the `SF100 Linux manual`_ to complete setup of the SF100 programmer. |
| For Linux please make sure that you copied ``60-dediprog.rules`` |
| from the ``SF100Linux`` folder to the :code:`/etc/udev/rules.s` (or rules.d) |
| then restart service using: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| $ udevadm control --reload |
| |
| Add directory with program ``dpcmd`` (on Linux) |
| or ``dpcmd.exe`` (on Windows) to your ``PATH``. |
| |
| #. Clone the `MEC172x SPI Image Gen`_ repository or download the files within |
| that directory. |
| |
| #. Make the image generation available for Zephyr, by making the tool |
| searchable by path, or by setting an environment variable |
| ``MEC172X_SPI_GEN``, for example: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| export MEC172X_SPI_GEN=<path to tool>/mec172x_spi_gen_lin_x86_64 |
| |
| Note that the tools for Linux and Windows have different file names. |
| |
| #. The default MEC172X_SPI_CFG file is spi_cfg.txt located in ${BOARD_DIR}/support. |
| If needed, a custom SPI image configuration file can be specified to override the |
| default one. |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| export MEC172X_SPI_CFG=custom_spi_cfg.txt |
| |
| Wiring |
| ======== |
| |
| #. Connect the SPI Dongle ASSY 6791 to ``J34`` in the EVB. |
| |
| .. image:: ./spidongle_assy6791.png |
| :width: 337px |
| :align: center |
| :alt: SPI DONGLE ASSY 6791 Connected |
| |
| #. Connect programmer to the header J6 on the Assy6791 board, it will flash the SPI NOR chip |
| ``U3``. Make sure that your programmer's offset is 0x0. |
| For programming you can use Dediprog SF100 or a similar tool for flashing SPI chips. |
| |
| .. image:: ./dediprog_connector.png |
| :width: 800px |
| :align: center |
| :alt: SF100 Connected |
| |
| |
| .. note:: Remember that SPI MISO/MOSI are swapped on Dediprog headers! |
| Use separate wires to connect Dediprog pins with pins on the Assy6791 SPI board. |
| Wiring connection is described in the table below. |
| |
| +------------+---------------+ |
| | Dediprog | Assy6791 | |
| | Connector | J6 Connector | |

| +------------+---------------+ |
| | MISO | 6 | |
| +------------+---------------+ |
| | MOSI | 5 | |
| +------------+---------------+ |
| |
| #. Connect UART1 port of the MEC17xxEVB_ASSY_6906 board |
| to your host computer using the RS232 cable. |
| |
| #. Apply power to the board via a micro-USB cable. |
| Configure this option by using a jumper between ``JP30 7-8``. |
| |
| .. image:: ./jp30_power_options.png |
| :width: 600px |

| :alt: Power Connection |
| |
| Building |
| ======== |
| |
| #. Build :ref:`hello_world` application as you would normally do. |
| |
| #. The file :file:`spi_image.bin` will be created if the build system |
| can find the image generation tool. This binary image can be used |
| to flash the SPI chip. |
| |
| Flashing |
| ======== |
| |
| #. 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 -o |
| |
| The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization |
| string. Connection should be configured as follows: |
| |
| - Speed: 115200 |
| - Data: 8 bits |
| - Parity: None |
| - Stop bits: 1 |
| |
| #. Flash your board using ``west`` from the second terminal window. |
| Split first and second terminal windows to view both of them. |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| $ west flash |
| |
| .. note:: When west process started press Reset button ``S2`` and do not release it |
| till the whole west process will not be finished successfully. |
| |
| .. image:: ./Reset_Button.png |
| :width: 600px |
| :align: center |
| :alt: Reset Button |
| |
| .. note:: If you don't want to press Reset button every time, you can disconnect |
| SPI Dongle ASSY 6791 from the EVB during the west flash programming. |
| Then connect it back to the ``J34`` header and apply power to the EVB. |
| Result will be the same. |
| |
| |
| #. You should see ``"Hello World! mec172xevb_assy6906"`` in the first terminal window. |
| If you don't see this message, press the Reset button and the message should appear. |
| |
| Debugging |
| ========= |
| |
| This board comes with a Cortex ETM port which facilitates tracing and debugging |
| using a single physical connection. In addition, it comes with sockets for |
| JTAG only sessions. |
| |
| Troubleshooting |
| =============== |
| |
| #. In case you don't see your application running, please make sure ``LED1`` and ``LED2`` |
| are lit. If one of these is off, then check the power-related jumpers again. |
| |
| #. If you can't program the board using Dediprog, disconnect the Assy6791 |
| from the main board Assy6906 and try again. |
| |
| #. If Dediprog can't detect the onboard flash, press the board's Reset button and try again. |
