.. zephyr:board:: gd32e507v_start
Overview
********
The GD32E507V-START board is a hardware platform that enables prototyping
on GD32E507VE Cortex-M33 High Performance MCU.
The GD32E507VE features a single-core ARM Cortex-M33 MCU which can run up
to 180 MHz with flash accesses zero wait states, 512kiB of Flash, 128kiB of
SRAM and 80 GPIOs.
Hardware
********
- GD32E507VET6 MCU
- 1 x User LEDs
- 1 x User Push buttons
- 1 x USART (RS-232 at J1 connector)
- GD-Link on board programmer
- J-Link/SWD connector

Supported Features
==================
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
Serial Port
===========
The GD32E507V-START board has one serial communication port. The default port
is USART0 with TX connected at PB6 and RX at PB7. USART0 is exposed as a
virtual COM port via the CN3 USB connector.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Before programming your board make sure to configure boot jumpers as
follows:
- JP3/4: Select 2-3 for both (boot from user memory)
Using GD-Link or J-Link
=======================
The board comes with an embedded GD-Link programmer. It can be used with pyOCD
provided you install the necessary CMSIS-Pack:
.. code-block:: console
pyocd pack install gd32e507ve
J-Link can also be used to program the board using the SWD interface exposed in
the JP1 header.
#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` sample application:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: gd32e507v_start
:goals: build
:compact:
#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. On Linux the
terminal should be something like ``/dev/ttyUSB0``. For example:
.. code-block:: console
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o
The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
string. Connection should be configured as follows:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
#. To flash an image:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: gd32e507v_start
:goals: flash
:compact:
You should see "Hello World! gd32e507v_start" in your terminal.
#. To debug an image:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: gd32e507v_start
:goals: debug
