Programming and debugging on it82202

In order to upload the application to the device, you’ll need our flash tool and Download board. You can get them at: ITE’s website [1].

Wiring

1. Connect the Download Board to your host computer using the USB cable.

2. Connect the it82xx2_evb to the evolution motherboard.

3. Connect the Download Board J5 to J41 on the evolution motherboard.

4. Connect the USB to UART wire to J33 on the evolution motherboard.

   

   Note

   Be careful during connection! Use separate wires to connect I2C pins with pins on the it82xx2_evb board. Wiring connection is described in the table below.

   J5 Connector	it82xx2_evb J41 Connector
   2	E0
   3	E7
   4	GND

   For USB to UART cable, connect the evolution motherboard as below:

   USB to UART cable	Evolution motherboard J33 Connector
   RX	B0
   TX	B1
   GND	GND

Building

1. Build Hello World application as you would normally do (see :Zephyr Getting Started Guide [2]):.

   # From the root of the zephyr repository
   west build -b it82xx2_evb samples/hello_world
   

2. The file zephyr.bin will be created by west.

Flashing

Windows

Use the winflash tool to program a zephyr application to the it82xx2 board flash.

1. Open the winflash tool and make sure the order you open the switch is right. First, turn on the Download board switch. Second, turn on the it82xx2_evb board switch. Then, configure your winflash tool like below.

   

   

2. Using the winflash tool flash zephyr.bin into your ITE board. First, click the Load button and select your zephyr.bin file. Second, click run to flash the image into board.

   

3. At this point, you have flashed your image into ITE board and it will work if you turn on the ITE board. You can use a terminal program to verify flashing worked correctly.

   For example, open device manager to find the USB Serial Port(COM4) and use your terminal program to connect it(Speed: 115200).

   

4. Turn on the it82xx2_evb board switch, you should see "Hello World! it82xx2_evb" sent by the board. If you don’t see this message, press the Reset button and the message should appear.

Ubuntu

1. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. Under Linux the terminal should be /dev/ttyUSB0. Do not close it.

   For example:

   $ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
   

2. Open a second terminal window and use the Linux flash tool to flash your board.

   $ sudo ~/itetool/ite -f build/zephyr/zephyr.bin
   

   Note

   The source code of ITE tool can be downloaded here: https://www.ite.com.tw/upload/2024_01_23/6_20240123162336wu55j1Rjm4.bz2

3. Split first and second terminal windows to view both of them. You should see "Hello World! it82xx2_evb" in the first terminal window. If you don’t see this message, press the Reset button and the message should appear.

Debugging

it82xx2_evb board can be debugged by connecting USB to UART. We can write commands and read messages through minicom in the Ubuntu terminal.

Troubleshooting

1. If the flash tool reports a failure, re-plug the 8390 Download board or power cycle the it82xx2_evb board and try again.
