Devices
========
System Clock
------------
This board configuration uses a system clock frequency of 200 MHz.
DDR RAM
-------
The board has 2GB of DDR RAM available. This board configuration
allocates Zephyr 1MB of RAM (0x82000000 to 0x82100000).
Serial Port
-----------
This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the
CPU's UART0.
SD Card
*******
Download PHYTEC's official `WIC`_ and `bmap`_ files and flash the WIC file with
bmap-tools on a SD-card.
.. code-block:: console
bmaptool copy phytec-qt5demo-image-phyboard-lyra-am62xx-2.wic.xz /dev/sdX
Building
********
You can build an application in the usual way. Refer to
:ref:`build_an_application` for more details. Here is an example for
:ref:`hello_world`.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:board: phycore_am62x_a53
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:goals: build
Programming
***********
Copy the compiled ``zephyr.bin`` to the first FAT partition of the SD card and
plug the SD card into the board. Power it up and stop the u-boot execution at
prompt.
Use U-Boot to load and kick zephyr.bin:
.. code-block:: console
fatload mmc 1:1 0x82000000 zephyr.bin; dcache flush; icache flush; dcache off; icache off; go 0x82000000
