The default configuration can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/silabs/dev_kits/xg24_dk2601b/xg24_dk2601b_defconfig`

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

The EFR32MG24 SoC is configured to use the 39 MHz external oscillator on the
board.

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

The EFR32MG24 SoC has one USART and two EUSARTs.
USART0 is connected to the board controller and is used for the console.

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

.. note::
   Before using the kit the first time, you should update the J-Link firmware
   from `J-Link-Downloads`_

Flashing
========

The sample application :ref:`hello_world` is used for this example.
Build the Zephyr kernel and application:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: xg24_dk2601b
   :goals: build

Connect the xg24_dk2601b to your host computer using the USB port and you
should see a USB connection.

Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:

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

Reset the board and you'll see the following message on the corresponding serial port
terminal session:

.. code-block:: console

   Hello World! xg24_dk2601b

Bluetooth
=========

To use the BLE function, run the command below to retrieve necessary binary
blobs from the SiLabs HAL repository.

.. code-block:: console

   west blobs fetch hal_silabs

Then build the Zephyr kernel and a Bluetooth sample with the following
command. The :ref:`bluetooth-observer-sample` sample application is used in
this example.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/observer
   :board: xg24_dk2601b
   :goals: build
