Supported Features¶
Please refer to EFR32 Radio Board Supported Features for details of the configuration and common features supported by the efr32_radio_brd4250b board.
The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
boards/arm/efr32_radio/efr32_radio_brd4250b_defconfig
System Clock¶
The EFR32FG1P SoC is configured to use the 38.4 MHz external oscillator on the board.
Serial Port¶
The EFR32FG1P SoC has two USARTs and one Low Energy UARTs (LEUART). USART0 is connected to the board controller and is used for the console.
Programming and Debugging¶
Please refer to Programming and Debugging EFR32 Radio Board for details on the supported debug interfaces.
Flashing¶
Connect the BRD4001A board with a mounted BRD4250B radio module to your host computer using the USB port.
Here is an example for the Hello World application.
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b efr32_radio_brd4250b samples/hello_world
west flash
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 should see the following message in the terminal:
Hello World! efr32_radio_brd4250b
