Programming and Debugging

Flashing

The Teensy 4.0 and Teensy 4.1 and Micromod ship with a dedicated bootloader chip, which supports flashing using USB. This allows easy flashing of new images, but does not support debugging the device.

1. Build the Zephyr kernel and the Blinky sample application.

Teensy 4.0Teensy 4.1Teensy Micromod

west build -b teensy40 samples/basic/blinky

1. Connect the board to your host computer using USB.

2. Tap the reset button to enter bootloader mode. Red LED blinks.

3. Flash the image.

Teensy 4.0Teensy 4.1Teensy Micromod

west build -b teensy40 samples/basic/blinky
west flash

1. You should see the orange LED blink.

Configuring a Console

UART-ConsoleUSB-Console

By default console output is mapped to teensy pins 0 (RX1) and 1 (TX1). Connect a usb-to-serial adapter to use this serial console. Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty, etc.):

• Speed: 115200

• Data: 8 bits

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1
