+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:

	``boards/arm/efm32wg_stk3800/efm32wg_stk3800_defconfig``

Other hardware features are currently not supported by the port.

Connections and IOs
===================

The EFM32WG SoC has six gpio controllers (PORTA to PORTF), but only three are
currently enabled (PORTB, PORTE and PORTF) for the EFM32WG-STK3800 board.

In the following table, the column Name contains Pin names. For example, PE2
means Pin number 2 on PORTE, as used in the board's datasheets and manuals.

+-------+-------------+-------------------------------------+
| Name  | Function    | Usage                               |
+=======+=============+=====================================+

+-------+-------------+-------------------------------------+

System Clock
============

The EFM32WG SoC is configured to use the 48 MHz external oscillator on the
board.

Serial Port
===========

The EFM32WG SoC has three USARTs, two UARTs and two Low Energy UARTs (LEUART).
UART0 is connected to the board controller and is used for the console.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

.. note::
   Before using the kit the first time, you should update the J-Link firmware
   from `J-Link-Downloads`_

Flashing
========

The EFM32WG-STK3800 includes an `J-Link`_ serial and debug adaptor built into the
board. The adaptor provides:

- A USB connection to the host computer, which exposes a Mass Storage and a
  USB Serial Port.
- A Serial Flash device, which implements the USB flash disk file storage.
- A physical UART connection which is relayed over interface USB Serial port.

Flashing an application to EFM32-STK3800
----------------------------------------

The sample application :ref:`hello_world` is used for this example.
Build the Zephyr kernel and application:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: efm32wg_stk3800
   :goals: build

Connect the EFM32WG-STK3800 to your host computer using the USB port and you
should see a USB connection which exposes a Mass Storage (STK3800) and a
USB Serial Port. Copy the generated zephyr.bin in the STK3800 drive.

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 be able to see on the corresponding Serial Port
the following message:

.. code-block:: console

   Hello World! arm
