Power supply
============
M5Stack Core2 module is equipped with the feature-rich power management IC
(:dtcompatible:`x-powers,axp192-regulator`).
Following regulators are utilized on this module:

- **vdd_mcu**:
  Main power supply for the MCU.
- **lcd_bg**:
  Display backlight voltage.
- **v_peri**:
  Periphal supply. This regulator controls supply for the display, SD-Card.
- **vib_motor**:
  Vibration motor regulator.
- **bus_5v**
  BUS_5V supply for Grove port.
  Note: This fixed regulator supply is disabled by default.


These voltages can be controlled via regulator api.

Start Application Development
*****************************

Before powering up your M5Stack Core2, please make sure that the board is in good
condition with no obvious signs of damage.

System requirements
===================

Prerequisites
-------------

Espressif HAL requires WiFi and Bluetooth binary blobs in order work. Run the command
below to retrieve those files.

.. code-block:: console

   west blobs fetch hal_espressif

.. note::

   It is recommended running the command above after :file:`west update`.

Building & Flashing
-------------------

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: m5stack_core2/esp32/procpu
   :goals: build

The usual ``flash`` target will work with the ``m5stack_core2`` board
configuration. Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world`
application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: m5stack_core2/esp32/procpu
   :goals: flash

The baud rate of 921600bps is set by default. If experiencing issues when flashing,
try using different values by using ``--esp-baud-rate <BAUD>`` option during
``west flash`` (e.g. ``west flash --esp-baud-rate 115200``).

You can also open the serial monitor using the following command:

.. code-block:: shell

   west espressif monitor

After the board has automatically reset and booted, you should see the following
message in the monitor:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS vx.x.x-xxx-gxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
   Hello World! m5stack_core2

Debugging
---------

M5Stack Core2 debugging is not supported due to pinout limitations.
