.. zephyr:board:: linkw
Overview
********
The `WCH`_ LinkW hardware provides support for QingKe V4C 32-bit RISC-V
processor and the following devices:
* CLOCK
* :abbr:`GPIO (General Purpose Input Output)`
* :abbr:`NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)`
The board is equipped with two LEDs and two Buttons.
The `WCH webpage on CH32V208`_ contains the processor's manuals.
The `WCH webpage on LinkW`_ contains the LinkW's schematic.
Hardware
********
The QingKe V4C 32-bit RISC-V processor of the WCH LinkW is clocked by an external
32 MHz crystal or the internal 8 MHz oscillator and runs up to 144 MHz.
The CH32V208 SoC Features 4 USART, 4 GPIO ports, 2 SPI, 2 I2C, ADC, RTC,
CAN, 2 USB Device, USB Host, OPA, ETH with PHY, several timers, and BLE 5.3.
Supported Features
==================
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
Connections and IOs
===================
LED
---
* LED0 = Green Mode LED
* LED1 = Blue Activity LED
Button
------
* SW0 = Mode Select Button (Active Low)
* SW1 = Bootstrap Button (Active High)
Programming and Debugging
*************************
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::
Applications for the ``linkw`` board target can be built and flashed
in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run`
for more details); however, an external programmer is required since the board
does not have any built-in debug support.
The following pins of the external programmer must be connected to the
following pins on the PCB:
* VCC = VCC
* GND = GND
* SWIO = PA13
* SWCLK = PA14
Flashing
========
You can use ``minichlink`` to flash the board. Once ``minichlink`` has been set
up, build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).
Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` application.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
:board: linkw
:goals: build flash
Debugging
=========
This board can be debugged via OpenOCD or ``minichlink``.
