Overview
********

The GD32E507Z-EVAL board is a hardware platform that enables prototyping
on GD32E507ZE Cortex-M33 High Performance MCU.

The GD32E507ZE features a single-core ARM Cortex-M33 MCU which can run up
to 180 MHz with flash accesses zero wait states, 512kiB of Flash, 128kiB of
SRAM and 112 GPIOs.

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

The GD32E507Z-EVAL board has one serial communication port. The default port
is USART0 with TX connected at PA9 and RX at PA10. USART0 is exposed as a
virtual COM port via the J1 USB connector.

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

Before programming your board make sure to configure boot jumpers as
follows:

- JP3/4: Select 2-3 for both (boot from user memory)

Using GD-Link or J-Link
=======================

The board comes with an embedded GD-Link programmer. It can be used with pyOCD
provided you install the necessary CMSIS-Pack:

.. code-block:: console

   pyocd pack install gd32e507ze

J-Link can also be used to program the board using the JTAG interface exposed in
the JP2 header.

#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :ref:`hello_world` sample application:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: gd32e507z_eval
      :goals: build
      :compact:

#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. On Linux the
   terminal should be something like ``/dev/ttyUSB0``. For example:

   .. code-block:: console

      minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o

   The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
   string. Connection should be configured as follows:

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

#. To flash an image:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: gd32e507z_eval
      :goals: flash
      :compact:

   You should see "Hello World! gd32e507z_eval" in your terminal.

#. To debug an image:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: gd32e507z_eval
      :goals: debug
      :compact:
