  • J-Link Debug Probe

  • 5V power supply

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

Prepare the Demo

The DSP images are built into CM33 image with default project configuration. To build the CM33 image, the DSP images dsp_reset_release.bin, dsp_text_release.bin, dsp_data_release.bin should be built firstly.

  1. Connect 5V power supply and J-Link Debug Probe to the board, switch SW10 to power on the board.

  2. Connect a micro USB cable between the host PC and the J17 USB port on the target board.

  3. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  4. Download the program to the target board.

  5. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the example.

Running the demo

This example run both M33 and DSP at the same time!

When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the M33’s terminal like below.

Sema42 example!
Press any key to unlock semaphore and DSP core will lock it

Wait for DSP core lock the semaphore

Sema42 example succeed!
