Overview
4+
********
5+
6+
The EK-RZ/A3M evaluation kit enables users to easily evaluate the features of the RZ/A3M MPU.
7+
This kit includes an EK-RZ/A3M board, 5-inch 720x1280 pixel LCD MIPI graphics expansion board, and
8+
USB cables, allowing the seamless evaluation of high-definition human machine interface (HMI), camera
9+
input through USB, and more features. Equipped with an on-board J-Link debugger, users can
10+
conveniently start debugging without additional debuggers.
11+
Additionally, it also has several expansion connectors such as SDIO, PMOD,and Arduino to connect
12+
sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE), allowing users to add more features without
13+
expanding the board space.

Programming and Debugging
80+
*************************
81+
82+
EK-RZ/A3M uses Initial Program Loader (IPL) to perform initial settings and copy the Zephyr image from flash to DDR SRAM for execution. It only needs to be written to flash once.
83+
84+
There are two options to write IPL:
85+
86+
1. (Recommended) Follow "4. Tutorial: Your First RZ MPU Project - Blinky" of `Getting Started with RZ/A Flexible Software Package`_
87+
to start writing a blinky sample with FSP. The IPL will be written to flash by default in debugging time.
88+
89+
2. Follow the `Initial Program Loader Application Note`_ to write the IPL separately. The minimal steps are described below.
90+
91+
a. Follow "5. IPL development environment construction procedure" to prepare the build environment.
92+
93+
b. Follow "6. IPL build environment construction procedure" to build Initial Program Loader.
94+
If the build is successful, Initial Program Loader file will be generated in /build/a3m/release/a3m_ek_nor_ipl.srec
95+
96+
c. Follow "7.1 Create Debug Configuration" to create a Debug configuration to run Initial Program Loader on the target board.
97+
98+
d. For the board setup and connections, follow "3.2 Board Setup" of `Getting Started with RZ/A Flexible Software Package`_.
99+
100+
e. Follow "7.4 Execution procedure of IPL" to write Initial Program Loader to the target board.
101+
102+
Applications for the ``rza3m_ek`` board can be built in the usual way as
103+
documented in :ref:`build_an_application`.
104+
105+
Console
106+
=======
107+
The UART port is accessed by USB Debug connector (J10).
108+
109+
Debugging
110+
=========
111+
112+
It is possible to load and execute a Zephyr application binary on this board on the Cortex-A55 System Core
113+
from the DDR SDRAM, using ``JLink`` debugger (:ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools`).
114+
115+
Here is an example for building and debugging with the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.
116+
117+
.. zephyr-app-commands::
118+
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
119+
:board: rza3m_ek
120+
:goals: build debug
121+
122+
Flashing
123+
========
124+
125+
Zephyr application can be flashed to Quad-SPI storage and then loaded by Initial Program Loader.
126+
127+
.. zephyr-app-commands::
128+
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
129+
:board: rza3m_ek
130+
:goals: build flash
