Programming and Debugging
*************************

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

Configuring a Debug Probe
=========================

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is
configured by default to use the LPC-Link2 CMSIS-DAP Onboard Debug Probe,
however the :ref:`pyocd-debug-host-tools` do not support this probe so you must
reconfigure the board for one of the following debug probes instead.

:ref:`lpclink2-jlink-onboard-debug-probe`
-----------------------------------------

Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.

Follow the instructions in :ref:`lpclink2-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program
the J-Link firmware.

Configuring a Console
=====================

Connect a USB to FTDI RX, TX & GND pins to P3 Connector.

Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty,
etc.):

- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1

Flashing
========

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: lpcxpresso51u68
   :goals: flash

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v2.6.0-934-g4c438c0c7d13 *****
   Hello World! lpcxpresso51u68

Debugging
=========

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: lpcxpresso51u68
   :goals: debug

Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you
should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v2.6.0-934-g4c438c0c7d13 *****
   Hello World! lpcxpresso51u68
