More information about the board can be found at the
`ARGONKEY website`_.

The default board configuration can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/96boards/argonkey/96b_argonkey_defconfig`

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

LED
---

- LED1 / User1 LED = PB2
- LED2 / User2 LED = PC13

Push buttons
------------

- BUTTON = RST (BT1)
- BUTTON = USR (BT2)

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

96Boards Argonkey can be driven by an internal oscillator as well as the main
PLL clock. In default board configuration, the 16MHz external oscillator is
used to drive the main PLL clock to generate a System Clock (SYSCLK) at 84MHz.
On the bus side, AHB clock runs at 84MHz, while APB1/APB2 clock runs at 42MHz.

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

On 96Boards Argonkey, Zephyr console output is assigned to USART1.
Default settings are 115200 8N1.

I2C
---

96Boards Argonkey board has up to 3 I2Cs. The default I2C mapping is:

- I2C1_SCL  : PB6
- I2C1_SDA  : PB7
- I2C2_SCL  : PB10
- I2C2_SDA  : PB9
- I2C3_SCL  : PA8
- I2C3_SCL  : PB4

I2C3 goes to the P2 connector and can be used to attach external sensors.
It goes to 100Kbit maximum.

SPI
---
96Boards Argonkey board has 2 SPIs. SPI1 is used in slave mode as the communication
bus with the AP. SPI2 is used in master mode to control the LSM6DSL sensor.
The default SPI mapping is:

- SPI1_NSS  : PA4
- SPI1_SCK  : PA5
- SPI1_MISO : PA6
- SPI1_MOSI : PA7
- SPI2_NSS  : PB12
- SPI2_SCK  : PB13
- SPI2_MISO : PB14
- SPI2_MOSI : PB15

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

Building
========

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

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: 96b_argonkey
   :goals: build

Flashing
========

96Boards Argonkey can be flashed by two methods, one using the ROM
bootloader and another using the SWD debug port (which requires additional
hardware).

Flashing using the ROM bootloader requires a special activation pattern,
which can be triggered by using the BOOT0 pin. The ROM bootloader supports
flashing via USB (DFU), UART, I2C and SPI, but this document describes the
UART case only. You can read more about how to enable and use the ROM
bootloader by checking the application note `AN2606`_ .

Using ROM bootloader:
---------------------

Hereafter the documents describes basic steps to perform ArgonKey firmware
flashing on a Linux PC using UART as communication channel.

1. Connect ArgonKey UART to your Linux PC using, for example, a USB-TTL serial
   cable. The flashing procedure has been tested using a `TTL-232RG`_ cable with
   FTDI chip. The UART pins on ArgonKey can be found on the P3 low speed
   expansion connector on the back of the board.

   - GND (black)  to ArgonKey GND (P3.1)
   - TXD (orange) to ArgonKey UART0_TXD (P3.5)
   - RXD (yellow) to ArgonKey UART0_RXD (P3.7)

   When the USB cable is inserted to the Linux PC the following device will be
   created: /dev/ttyUSBx (x is usually '0').

2. Force STM32F412CG to enter in Bootloader mode

   - Connect BOOT0 to 1V8 (link P2.1 to P3.30)
   - Press and release the RST button

3. Use stm32flash utility to flash the ArgonKey:

.. code-block:: console

    $ stm32flash  -w zephyr.bin -v -g 0x08000000 /dev/ttyUSB0

See References section for more info on `stm32flash`_.

Using SWD debugger:
-------------------

Select a commercial JTAG/SWD h/w tool and connect it to ArgonKey P4 connector.

The ArgonKey has been tested using the `ST-LINK/V2`_ tool. Once that the tool
is connected to the PC through USB, it presents itself as a USB composite
device with mass storage capability. The device can be then mounted in linux
and the f/w can be actually copied there and will be automatically flashed by
the ST-LINK onto the ArgonKey.

Example:

.. code-block:: console

   $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
   $ cp zephyr.bin /mnt
   $ umount /mnt
