Execution Instruction

Quickly Get Started

This BSP provides MDK 5 and IAR projects for developers. Here's an example of the IAR development environment, to introduce how to run the system.

Hardware Connection

Use a USB cable to connect the development board to the PC and turn on the power switch.

Compile and Download

Double-click the project.eww file, to open the IAR project, compile and download the project to the board.

By default, the project uses the CMSIS-DAP to download the program, when the CMSIS-DAP connects the board, clicking the download button can download the program to the board.

Running Results

Once the project is successfully downloaded, the system runs automatically.

Connect the serial port of the board to the PC, communicate with it via a serial terminal tool(115200-8-1-N). Reset the board and the startup information of RT-Thread will be observed:

Advanced Features

This BSP only enables serial port 1 by default. If you need more advanced features, you need to configure the BSP with RT-Thread Env tools, as follows:

Open the env tool under BSP;
Enter menuconfig command to configure the project, then save and exit;
Enter pkgs --update command to update the package;
Enter scons --target=mdk5/iar command to regenerate the project.
