11Configuring
12===========
13Step 1: Download SDK
14--------------------
15To configure this Pigweed target you will first need to download an NXP
16`MCUXpresso SDK`_ for your device and unpack it within your project source tree.
17
18.. _MCUXpresso SDK: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome
19
20Step 2: Create SDK source set
21-----------------------------
22You'll next need to create a source set based on the downloaded SDK, and set
23the ``pw_third_party_mcuxpresso_SDK`` build arg to the name of the source set
24you create. See :ref:`module-pw_build_mcuxpresso` for more details.
25
26Alternatively to get started you can start with the basic project template by
27setting the ``pw_target_mimxrt595_evk_MANIFEST`` build arg to the location of
28the manifest file within the unpacked SDK, and then setting the
29``pw_third_party_mcuxpresso_SDK`` to the ``sample_sdk`` source set within the
30Pigweed target directory.
31
32.. code-block:: sh
33
34   $ gn args out
35   # Modify and save the args file to use the sample SDK.
36   pw_target_mimxrt595_evk_MANIFEST = "//third_party/mcuxpresso/sdk/EVK-MIMXRT595_manifest_v3_13.xml"
37   pw_third_party_mcuxpresso_SDK = "//targets/mimxrt595_evk:sample_sdk"
38
39Building
40========
41Once configured, to build for this Pigweed target, simply build the top-level
42"mimxrt595" Ninja target.
43
44.. code-block:: sh
45
46   $ ninja -C out mimxrt595
47
48Running and Debugging
49=====================
50First Time Setup
51----------------
52The MIMXRT595-EVK comes with an integrated Link2 debug probe that can operate in
53either CMSIS-DAP or SEGGER J-Link mode. CMSIS-DAP is how the board will likely
54come by default, but J-Link is the mode that is currently known to work, so
55you'll need to flash the Link2 with the correct firmware.
56
571. Download and install the LPCScrypt_ utility from the NXP website.
58
592. Place a jumper over **JP1** (not **J1**). If you're having trouble locating
60   this, it's in the top-right of the board in a block of four jumpers closest
61   to the USB ports.
62
633. Connect a USB cable into the top-right USB port (**J40**) and your computer.
64
654. Run ``scripts/boot_lpcscrypt`` from the LPCScrypt installation.
66
675. Run ``scripts/program_JLINK`` from the LPCScrypt installation, press the
68   *SPACE* key to update the firmware.
69
706. Unplug the USB cable and remove the **JP1** jumper.
71
72Now is also a good time to download and install the J-Link_ package from the
73SEGGER website.
74
75.. _LPCScrypt: https://www.nxp.com/design/microcontrollers-developer-resources/lpcscrypt-v2-1-2:LPCSCRYPT
76.. _J-Link: https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/
77
78General Setup
79-------------
80Each time you prepare the MIMXRT595-EVK for use, you'll need to do a few steps.
81You don't need to repeat these if you leave everything setup and don't
82disconnect or reboot.
83
841. Ensure the **SW7** DIP switches are set to Off-Off-On (boot from QSPI Flash).
85
862. Connect a USB cable into the top-right USB port (**J40**) and your computer.
87
883. Start the J-Link GDB Server and leave this running:
89
90   .. code-block:: sh
91
92      JLinkGDBServer -select USB -device MIMXRT595S -endian little -if SWD -speed 4000 -noir
93
94On Linux, you may need to install the `libncurses5` library to use the tools:
95
96.. code-block:: sh
97
98   sudo apt install libncurses5
99
100Running and Debugging
101---------------------
102Use ``arm-none-eabi-gdb`` to load an executable into the target, debug, and run
103it.
104
105.. code-block::
106   :emphasize-lines: 1,6,10,12,20
107
108   (gdb) target remote :2331
109   Remote debugging using :2331
110   warning: No executable has been specified and target does not support
111   determining executable automatically.  Try using the "file" command.

127   (gdb) monitor reset
128   Resetting target
129
130You can now set any breakpoints you wish, and ``continue`` to run the
131executable.
132
133To reset the target use ``monitor reset``.
134
135To load an updated version of the same file, after resetting the target,
136use ``load`` and a second ``monitor reset`` as shown above.
137
138To debug a new file, use ``file`` before ``load``.
139
140Debug console is available on the USB serial port, e.g. ``/dev/ttyACM0``
141(Linux) or ``/dev/tty.usbmodem*`` (Mac).
