Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

Push Buttons

There are six pushbuttons on the MAX32655FTHR board

SW1

PMIC Power Button, when the board is powered on state, pressing this button for 12 seconds performs a hard powerdown. When the board is in a powered-off state, pressing this button powers on the board. This button can also be read by MAX32655 firmware, PMIC_PFN2 signal connected to Port 0.13 is a buffered input of the button status. When the button is pressed, this signal goes to a logic-low state.

SW2

User-programmable function button connected to MAX32655 Port 0.2 through a debouncer IC.

SW3

User-programmable function button connected to MAX32655 Port 0.3 through a debouncer IC.

SW4

Wake-up button connected to MAX32655 Port 3.1.

SW5

Resets the MAX32655 through RSTN input of the MAX32655.

SW6

DAPLink adapter button. Keep this button pressed while applying power to the board to put the MAX32625 DAPLink adapter on board to MAINTENANCE mode for DAPLink firmware updates.

LEDs

There are three RGB LEDs on the MAX32655FTHR board

LED1 (D1)

Connected to the MAX32655FTHR GPIO ports. This LED can be controlled by user firmware. Port 0.18: Red color Port 0.19: Green color Port 0.26: Blue color

LED2 (D2)

Connected to MAX20303 PMIC LEDx outputs. These LEDs can be controlled through I2C commands. They also can be configured as charge status indicators by issuing I2C commands.

LED3 (D3)

DAPLink adapter MAX32625 status LED. Controlled by the DAPLink adapter and cannot be used as a user LED.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Flashing

The MAX32625 microcontroller on the board is flashed with DAPLink firmware at the factory. It allows debugging and flashing the MAX32655 Arm Core over USB.

Once the USB cable is connected to your host computer, then you can simply run the west flash command to write a firmware image into flash. To perform a full erase, pass the --erase option when executing west flash.

Debugging

Please refer to the Flashing_ section and run the west debug command instead of west flash.
