MAX32655FTHR
Overview
The MAX32655FTHR is a rapid development platform to help engineers quickly implement ultra low-power wireless solutions using MAX32655 Arm© Cortex®-M4F and Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy (LE). The board also includes the MAX20303 PMIC for battery and power management. The form factor is a small 0.9in x 2.6in dual-row header footprint that is compatible with Adafruit Feather Wing peripheral expansion boards. The board includes a variety of peripherals, such as a digital microphone, lowpower stereo audio CODEC, 128MB QSPI Flash, micro SD card connector, RGB indicator LED, and pushbutton. The MAX32655FTHR provides a power-optimized flexible platform for quick proof-of-concepts and early software development to enhance time to market.

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