System Clock

The NPCK3M8K MCU is configured to use the 90Mhz internal oscillator with the on-chip PLL to generate a resulting EC clock rate of 15 MHz. See Processor clock control register (chapter 4 in user manual)

Serial Port

UART1 is configured for serial logs.

Programming and Debugging

The npck3m8k_evb board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

	flash	debug

This board comes with a Cortex ETM port which facilitates tracing and debugging using a single physical connection. In addition, it comes with sockets for JTAG only sessions.

Flashing

Build the application as usual for the npck3m8k_evb board.

Debugging

Use JTAG/SWD with a J-Link.
