Programming and Debugging

TF Card

Prepare a TF card with MBR and FAT32. In the root directory of the TF card:

1. Download and place these firmware files:

   • bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb

   • bootcode.bin

   • start4.elf

2. Copy build/zephyr/zephyr.bin

3. Create a config.txt:

   kernel=zephyr.bin
   arm_64bit=1
   enable_uart=1
   uart_2ndstage=1
   

Insert the card and power on the board. You should see the following output on the serial console (GPIO 14/15):
