| 61 | +Devices |
| 62 | +======== |
| 63 | +System Clock |
| 64 | +------------ |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +This board configuration uses a system clock frequency of 24 MHz. |
| 67 | +Cortex-A55 Core runs up to 2.0 GHz. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Serial Port |
| 70 | +----------- |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +This board configuration uses a single serial communication channel with the |
| 73 | +CPU's UART2. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Programming and Debugging |
| 76 | +************************* |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +Use U-Boot to load the zephyr.bin to the memory and kick it: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 81 | +
|
| 82 | + tftp 0x40000000 zephyr.bin; dcache flush; icache flush; dcache off; icache off; go 0x40000000 |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | +Use this configuration to run basic Zephyr applications and kernel tests, |
| 85 | +for example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 88 | + :zephyr-app: samples/synchronization |
| 89 | + :host-os: unix |
| 90 | + :board: roc_rk3568_pc |
| 91 | + :goals: run |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +This will build an image with the synchronization sample app, boot it and |
| 94 | +display the following ram console output: |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 97 | +
|
| 98 | + *** Booting Zephyr OS build bc695c6df5eb *** |
| 99 | + thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on roc_rk3568_pc! |
| 100 | + thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on roc_rk3568_pc! |
| 101 | + thread_a: Hello World from cpu 0 on roc_rk3568_pc! |
| 102 | + thread_b: Hello World from cpu 0 on roc_rk3568_pc! |
| 103 | +
|
| 104 | +
|
| 105 | +roc_rk3568_pc_smp support, use this configuration to run Zephyr smp applications and subsys tests, |
| 106 | +for example, with the :zephyr:code-sample:`synchronization` sample: |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 109 | + :zephyr-app: samples/synchronization |
| 110 | + :host-os: unix |
| 111 | + :board: roc_rk3568_pc_smp |
| 112 | + :goals: run |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +This will build an image with the shell_module sample app, boot it and |
| 115 | +display the following ram console output: |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 118 | +
