| 87 | +System Clock |
| 88 | +============ |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +The EFR32MG24 SoC is configured to use the 39 MHz external oscillator on the |
| 91 | +board. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +Serial Port |
| 94 | +=========== |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +The EFR32MG24 SoC has one USART and two EUSARTs. |
| 97 | +USART0 is connected to the board controller and is used for the console. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +Programming and Debugging |
| 100 | +************************* |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +.. note:: |
| 103 | + Before using the kit the first time, you should update the J-Link firmware |
| 104 | + in Simplicity Studio. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +Flashing |
| 107 | +======== |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +The sample application :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` is used for this example. |
| 110 | +Build the Zephyr kernel and application: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 113 | + :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| 114 | + :board: xg24_ek2703a |
| 115 | + :goals: build |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Connect the xg24_ek2703a to your host computer using the USB port and you |
| 118 | +should see a USB connection. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings: |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +- Speed: 115200 |
| 123 | +- Data: 8 bits |
| 124 | +- Parity: None |
| 125 | +- Stop bits: 1 |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +Reset the board and you'll see the following message on the corresponding serial port |
| 128 | +terminal session: |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 131 | +
|
| 132 | + Hello World! xg24_ek2703a |
| 133 | +
|
| 134 | +Bluetooth |
| 135 | +========= |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +To use the BLE function, run the command below to retrieve necessary binary |
| 138 | +blobs from the SiLabs HAL repository. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 141 | +
|
| 142 | + west blobs fetch hal_silabs |
| 143 | +
|
| 144 | +Then build the Zephyr kernel and a Bluetooth sample with the following |
| 145 | +command. The :zephyr:code-sample:`bluetooth_observer` sample application is used in |
| 146 | +this example. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 149 | + :zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/observer |
| 150 | + :board: xg24_ek2703a |
