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
