Overview
********

`NXP UCANS32K1SIC`_ is a CAN signal improvement capability (SIC) evaluation
board designed for both automotive and industrial applications. The UCANS32K1SIC

============  ==========  ================================

The default configuration can be found in the Kconfig file
:zephyr_file:`boards/nxp/ucans32k1sic/ucans32k1sic_defconfig`.

Connections and IOs
===================

This board has 5 GPIO ports named from ``gpioa`` to ``gpioe``.

Pin control can be further configured from your application overlay by adding
children nodes with the desired pinmux configuration to the singleton node
``pinctrl``. Supported properties are described in
:zephyr_file:`dts/bindings/pinctrl/nxp,kinetis-pinctrl.yaml`.

LEDs
----

The UCANS32K1SIC board has one user RGB LED that can be used either as a GPIO
LED or as a PWM LED.

.. table:: RGB LED as GPIO LED
   :widths: auto

   ===============  ================  ===============  =====
   Devicetree node  Devicetree alias  Label            Pin
   ===============  ================  ===============  =====

.. table:: RGB LED as PWM LED
   :widths: auto

   ===============  ========================  ==================  ================
   Devicetree node  Devicetree alias          Label               Pin

   led1_blue_pwm    pwm-led2 / blue-pwm-led   LED1_RGB_BLUE_PWM   PTD0 / FTM0_CH2
   ===============  ========================  ==================  ================

The user can control the LEDs in any way. An output of ``0`` illuminates the LED.

Buttons
-------

The UCANS32K1SIC board has one user button:

=======================  ==============  =====
Devicetree node          Label           Pin
=======================  ==============  =====
sw0 / button_3           SW3             PTD15
=======================  ==============  =====

Serial Console
==============

The serial console is provided via ``lpuart1`` on the 7-pin DCD-LZ debug
connector ``P6``.

=========  =====  ============
Connector  Pin    Pin Function
=========  =====  ============
P6.2       PTC7   LPUART1_TX
P6.3       PTC6   LPUART1_RX
=========  =====  ============

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

The Arm Cortex-M4F core is configured to run at 80 MHz (RUN mode).

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

Applications for the ``ucans32k1sic`` board can be built in the usual way as
documented in :ref:`build_an_application`.

This board configuration supports `Lauterbach TRACE32`_ and `SEGGER J-Link`_
West runners for flashing and debugging applications. Follow the steps described
in :ref:`lauterbach-trace32-debug-host-tools` and :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools`,
to setup the flash and debug host tools for these runners, respectively. The
default runner is J-Link.

Flashing
========

Run the ``west flash`` command to flash the application using SEGGER J-Link.
Alternatively, run ``west flash -r trace32`` to use Lauterbach TRACE32.

The Lauterbach TRACE32 runner supports additional options that can be passed
through command line:

.. code-block:: console

   west flash -r trace32 --startup-args elfFile=<elf_path> loadTo=<flash/sram>
      eraseFlash=<yes/no> verifyFlash=<yes/no>

Where:

- ``<elf_path>`` is the path to the Zephyr application ELF in the output
  directory
- ``loadTo=flash`` loads the application to the SoC internal program flash
  (:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_XIP` must be set), and ``loadTo=sram`` load the
  application to SRAM. The default is ``flash``.
- ``eraseFlash=yes`` erases the whole content of SoC internal flash before the
  application is downloaded to either Flash or SRAM. This routine takes time to
  execute. The default is ``no``.
- ``verifyFlash=yes`` verify the SoC internal flash content after programming
  (use together with ``loadTo=flash``). The default is ``no``.

For example, to erase and verify flash content:

.. code-block:: console

   west flash -r trace32 --startup-args elfFile=build/zephyr/zephyr.elf loadTo=flash eraseFlash=yes verifyFlash=yes

Debugging
=========

Run the ``west debug`` command to start a GDB session using SEGGER J-Link.
Alternatively, run ``west debug -r trace32`` to launch the Lauterbach TRACE32
software debugging interface.
