Connections and IOs

Programming and Debugging

Flashing

The flash on board is not supported by Zephyr at this time. Board is booted over PCIe interface.

Debugging

The bcm958401m2 board includes pads for soldering a JTAG connector. Zephyr applications running on the M7 core can also be tested by observing UART console output.
