12Building and Running
13********************

15The DAC output is defined in the board's devicetree and pinmux file.
16
17The board's :ref:`/zephyr,user <dt-zephyr-user>` node must have ``dac``,
18``dac-channel-id``, and ``dac-resolution`` properties set. See the predefined
19overlays in :zephyr_file:`samples/drivers/dac/boards` for examples.

225Sample output
226=============
227
228You should see a sawtooth signal with an amplitude of the DAC reference
229voltage and a period of approx. 4 seconds at the DAC output pin specified
230by the board.
231
232The following output is printed:
233
234.. code-block:: console
235
236   Generating sawtooth signal at DAC channel 1.
237
238.. note:: If the DAC is not supported, the output will be an error message.
