Serial Port

USART0 is on the opposite end of the USB. Connect to TX0 (PA9) and RX0 (PA10).

Programming and debugging

Building & Flashing

Here is an example for building the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b longan_nano samples/basic/blinky
west flash

When using a custom toolchain it should be enough to have the downloaded version of the binary in your PATH.

The default runner tries to flash the board via an external programmer using openocd. To flash via the USB port, select the DFU runner when flashing:

west flash --runner dfu-util

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b longan_nano samples/basic/blinky
west debug
