77Serial Port
78===========
79
80The GD32E507Z-EVAL board has one serial communication port. The default port
81is USART0 with TX connected at PA9 and RX at PA10. USART0 is exposed as a
82virtual COM port via the J1 USB connector.

84Programming and Debugging
85*************************
86
87Before programming your board make sure to configure boot jumpers as
88follows:
89
90- JP3/4: Select 2-3 for both (boot from user memory)
91
92Using GD-Link or J-Link
93=======================
94
95The board comes with an embedded GD-Link programmer. It can be used with pyOCD
96provided you install the necessary CMSIS-Pack:
97
98.. code-block:: console
99
100   pyocd pack install gd32e507ze
101
102J-Link can also be used to program the board using the JTAG interface exposed in
103the JP2 header.
104
105#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :ref:`hello_world` sample application:
106
107   .. zephyr-app-commands::
108      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
109      :board: gd32e507z_eval
110      :goals: build
111      :compact:
112
113#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. On Linux the
114   terminal should be something like ``/dev/ttyUSB0``. For example:
115
116   .. code-block:: console
117
118      minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o
119
120   The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
121   string. Connection should be configured as follows:
122
123      - Speed: 115200
124      - Data: 8 bits
125      - Parity: None
126      - Stop bits: 1
127
128#. To flash an image:
129
130   .. zephyr-app-commands::
131      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
132      :board: gd32e507z_eval
133      :goals: flash
134      :compact:
135
136   You should see "Hello World! gd32e507z_eval" in your terminal.
137
138#. To debug an image:
139
140   .. zephyr-app-commands::
141      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
142      :board: gd32e507z_eval
143      :goals: debug
