Supported Features
==================

NXP considers the LPCXpresso55S36 as a superset board for the LPC55(S)3x
family of MCUs.  This board is a focus for NXP's Full Platform Support for
Zephyr, to better enable the entire LPC55(S)3x family.  NXP prioritizes enabling
this board with new support for Zephyr features.  The lpcxpresso55s36 board
configuration supports the hardware features below.  Another similar superset
board is the :ref:`lpcxpresso55s69`, and that board may have additional features
already supported, which can also be re-used on this lpcxpresso55s36 board:

System Clock
============

The LPC55S36 SoC is configured to use PLL1 clocked from the external 24MHz
crystal, running at 144MHz as a source for the system clock. When the flash
controller is enabled, the core clock will be reduced to 96MHz. Other sources for the system clock are
provided in the SOC, depending on your system requirements.

Serial Port
===========

The LPC55S36 SoC has 8 FLEXCOMM interfaces for serial
communication. One is configured as USART for the console and the
remaining are not used.

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` does not yet
support the LPC55S36 so you must reconfigure the board for one of the
J-Link debug probe instead.

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

Then follow the instructions in
:ref:`lpclink2-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program the J-Link
firmware. Please make sure you have the latest firmware for this
board.

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

Connect a USB cable from your PC to J1 (LINK2), and use the serial
terminal of your choice (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following
settings:

- 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: lpcxpresso55s36
   :goals: flash

Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the RESET button), and you should
see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS v2.2.0 *****
   Hello World! lpcxpresso55s36

Debugging
=========

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

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: lpcxpresso55s36
   :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 zephyr-v2.2.0 *****
   Hello World! lpcxpresso55s36
