| 201 | +Flashing |
| 202 | +======== |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +Follow the steps below to build and flash your application: |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +1. Open a terminal and change to the Zephyr workspace directory: |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | + .. code-block:: console |
| 209 | +
|
| 210 | + cd zephyr |
| 211 | +
|
| 212 | +2. Build the application using the following command: |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | + .. code-block:: console |
| 215 | +
|
| 216 | + west build -p always -b wbz450_curiosity .\samples\basic\blinky\ |
| 217 | +
|
| 218 | +3. After a successful build, connect the WBZ450 device to your machine. |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +4. Flash the device using the `west flash` command: |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | + .. code-block:: console |
| 223 | +
|
| 224 | + west flash |
| 225 | +
|
| 226 | +5. Ensure the flash process completes successfully. You should see confirmation messages in the terminal. |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +Debugging |
| 229 | +========= |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +To debug the WBZ450 application using Visual Studio Code: |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +1. Ensure the application is built for the WBZ450 board. |
| 234 | +2. Install the `cortex-debug` extension in Visual Studio Code. |
| 235 | +3. Open the workspace and click the **Run and Debug** icon on the left sidebar. |
| 236 | +4. If `launch.json` and `tasks.json` files are already present, VS Code will automatically start the debug session. |
| 237 | +5. If prompted to create a new `launch.json`, select the **Cortex Debug** debugger option. |
| 238 | +6. Replace the contents of `launch.json` with: |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | + .. code-block:: json |
| 241 | +
|
| 242 | + { |
| 243 | + "version": "2.0.0", |
| 244 | + "configurations": [ |
| 245 | + { |
| 246 | + "name": "Debug WBZ450", |
| 247 | + "type": "cortex-debug", |
| 248 | + "request": "attach", |
| 249 | + "servertype": "openocd", |
| 250 | + "cwd": "C:\\developers\\zephyr\\", |
| 251 | + "executable": "<path to zephyr project>/build/zephyr/zephyr.elf", |
| 252 | + "device": "WBZ450", |
| 253 | + "configFiles": [ |
| 254 | + "interface/cmsis-dap.cfg", |
| 255 | + "target/wbz450.cfg" |
| 256 | + ], |
| 257 | + "gdbPath": "<path to zephyr sdk>/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabigdb.exe", |
| 258 | + "preLaunchTask": "flash_wbz450_hex", |
| 259 | + "postRestartCommands": [ |
| 260 | + "symbol-file <path to zephyr project>/build/zephyr/zephyr.elf", |
| 261 | + "monitor reset halt", |
| 262 | + "break main" |
| 263 | + ], |
| 264 | + "showDevDebugOutput": "none" |
| 265 | + } |
| 266 | + ] |
| 267 | + } |
| 268 | +
|
| 269 | +7. Create `tasks.json` inside `.vscode` with: |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | + .. code-block:: json |
| 272 | +
|
| 273 | + { |
| 274 | + "version": "2.0.0", |
| 275 | + "tasks": [ |
| 276 | + { |
| 277 | + "label": "flash_wbz450_hex", |
| 278 | + "type": "shell", |
| 279 | + "command": "openocd", |
| 280 | + "args": [ |
| 281 | + "-f", "interface/cmsis-dap.cfg", |
| 282 | + "-f", "target/wbz450.cfg", |
| 283 | + "-c", "init", |
| 284 | + "-c", "reset halt", |
| 285 | + "-c", "program <path to zephyr project>/build/zephyr/zephyr.hex reset exit" |
| 286 | + ], |
| 287 | + "problemMatcher": [], |
| 288 | + "group": { |
| 289 | + "kind": "build", |
| 290 | + "isDefault": true |
| 291 | + } |
| 292 | + } |
| 293 | + ] |
| 294 | + } |
| 295 | +
|
| 296 | +8. Connect the WBZ450 Curiosity board. |
| 297 | +9. Click the **Run and Debug** icon again and select the WBZ450 debug option. |
| 298 | +10. Confirm that the debugger hits the breakpoint in `main.c`. Press **Continue** to proceed. |
