Supported Features
43+
==================
44+
45+
Please refer to
46+
:ref:`EFR32 Radio Board Supported Features <efr32_radio_supported_features>`
47+
for details of the configuration and common features supported by the
48+
efr32_radio_brd4255a board.
49+
50+
The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
51+
52+
``boards/arm/efr32_radio/efr32_radio_brd4255a_defconfig``
53+
54+
System Clock
55+
============
56+
57+
The EFR32FG13P SoC is configured to use the 38.4 MHz external oscillator on the
58+
board.
59+
60+
Serial Port
61+
===========
62+
63+
The EFR32FG13P SoC has three USARTs and one Low Energy UARTs (LEUART).
64+
USART0 is connected to the board controller and is used for the console.
65+
66+
Programming and Debugging
67+
*************************
68+
69+
Please refer to
70+
:ref:`Programming and Debugging EFR32 Radio Board <efr32_radio_programming>`
71+
for details on the supported debug interfaces.
72+
73+
Flashing
74+
========
75+
76+
Connect the BRD4001A board with a mounted BRD4255A radio module to your host
77+
computer using the USB port.
78+
79+
Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.
80+
81+
.. zephyr-app-commands::
82+
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
83+
:board: efr32_radio_brd4255a
84+
:goals: flash
85+
86+
Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:
87+
88+
- Speed: 115200
89+
- Data: 8 bits
90+
- Parity: None
91+
- Stop bits: 1
92+
93+
Reset the board and you should see the following message in the terminal:
94+
95+
.. code-block:: console
