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 your Download Board to your host computer using the USB cable.

   .. note:: Be careful during connection!
    Use separate wires to connect I2C pins with pins on the it8xxx2_evb board.
    Wiring connection is described in the table below.

    +-------------+---------------+
    |   J5        | it8xxx2_evb   |
    |   Connector | J145 Connector|

    |      4      |       10      |
    +-------------+---------------+

#. Connect UART0 port of the it8xxx2_evb board
   to your host computer using the usb cable.

   .. note:: Be careful during connection!
    Use separate wires to connect USB serial with pins on the it8xxx2_evb board.
    Wiring connection is described in the table below.

    +-------------+---------------+
    |   USB       |  it8xxx2_evb  |

    +-------------+---------------+
    |      GND    |      J15      |
    +-------------+---------------+

#. Apply power to the board via a USB cable.

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.png
          :width: 600px
          :align: center

    .. figure:: WinFlashTool_P4.png
          :width: 600px
          :align: center

#. 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.png
          :width: 600px
          :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.png
          :width: 600px
          :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.
   You can find more details about tool usage from its document.

#. 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.
