System Clock

The PSOC™ Control C3M6 and evaluation board provide the following clock sources:

IMO (Internal Main Oscillator): 8 MHz
IHO (Internal High-speed Oscillator): 48 MHz
ECO (External Crystal Oscillator): 16 MHz, connected to P1.0 and P1.1
WCO (Watch Crystal Oscillator): 32.768 kHz, connected to P0.0 and P0.1

Serial Port

The Zephyr console output is assigned to the debug UART on SCB3 (uart3).

Default communication settings are 115200 8N1.

Building

Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b kit_psc3m6_evk samples/hello_world

Programming and Debugging

The kit_psc3m6_evk board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

	flash	debug	debugserver	rtt	attach
openocd	✅ (default)	✅ (default)	✅	✅	✅

Use west flash and west debug with OpenOCD and SEGGER J-Link probe (requires SEGGER J-Link version v9.68 or later).

Infineon OpenOCD Installation

The ModusToolbox™ Programming Tools package includes Infineon OpenOCD. Alternatively, a standalone installation can be done by downloading the Infineon OpenOCD release for your system and extracting the files to a location of your choice.

Flashing

Build and flash the application:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b kit_psc3m6_evk -p always samples/hello_world
west flash --openocd <path/to/openocd>
