.. zephyr:board:: arduino_portenta_c33
2+
3+
Overview
4+
********
5+
6+
The Portenta C33 is a powerful System-on-Module based on the Renesas RA6M5
7+
microcontroller group, which utilizes the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33
8+
core. The Portenta C33 shares the same form factor as the Portenta H7 and is
9+
backward compatible with it, making it fully compatible with all Portenta
10+
family shields and carriers through its High-Density connectors.
11+
12+
Hardware
13+
********
14+
15+
- Renesas RA6M5 ARM Cortex-M33 processor at 200 MHz
16+
- 24 MHz crystal oscillator
17+
- 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator for RTC
18+
- 2 MB flash memory and 512 KiB of RAM
19+
- 16 MB external QSPI flash
20+
- One RGB user LED
21+
- One reset button
22+
- NXP SE050 secure element
23+
- Onboard 10/100 Ethernet PHY
24+
- WiFi + Bluetooth via ESP32-C3 running `esp-hosted`_ firmware
25+
- Battery charger
26+
- MKR header connector exposing standard peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, PWM)
27+
- 160 pins high density Portenta connectors exposing SD, CAN, I2S, SWD interfaces
28+

Supported Features
30+
==================
31+
32+
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
33+
34+
Connections and IOs
35+
===================
36+
37+
The `Arduino store`_ has detailed information about board connections. Download
38+
the `Arduino Portenta C33 Schematic`_ for more details.
39+
40+
Serial Port
41+
===========
42+
43+
The Portenta C33 exposes 4 serial ports with hardware flow control.
44+
45+
PWM
46+
===
47+
48+
The Portenta C33 exposes 10 dedicated independent PWM pins.
49+
50+
USB Device Port
51+
===============
52+
53+
The RA6M5 MCU has an high speed USB device port that can be used to communicate
54+
with a host PC. See the :zephyr:code-sample-category:`usb` sample applications for
55+
more, such as the :zephyr:code-sample:`usb-cdc-acm` sample which sets up a virtual
56+
serial port that echos characters back to the host PC.
57+
A second full speed USB interface is exposed on the high density connectors.
58+
59+
DAC
60+
===
61+
62+
The RA6M5 MCU has two DACs with 12 bits of resolution. On the
63+
Arduino Portenta C33, the DACs are available on pins A5 and A6.
64+
65+
Programming and Debugging
66+
*************************
67+
68+
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::
69+
70+
The Arduino Portenta C33 ships with a DFU compatible bootloader. The
71+
bootloader can be entered by quickly tapping the reset button twice.
72+
73+
Flashing
74+
========
75+
76+
#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` sample application:
77+
78+
.. zephyr-app-commands::
79+
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
80+
:board: arduino_portenta_c33
81+
:goals: build
82+
:compact:
83+
84+
#. Connect the Portenta C33 to your host computer using USB
85+
86+
#. Connect a 3.3 V USB to serial adapter to the board and to the
87+
host. See the `Serial Port`_ section above for the board's pin
88+
connections.
89+
90+
#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. Under Linux the
91+
terminal should be :code:`/dev/ttyACM0`. For example:
92+
93+
.. code-block:: console
94+
95+
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -o
96+
97+
The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
98+
string. Connection should be configured as follows:
99+
100+
- Speed: 115200
101+
- Data: 8 bits
102+
- Parity: None
103+
- Stop bits: 1
104+
105+
#. Tap the reset button twice quickly to enter bootloader mode
106+
107+
#. Flash the image:
108+
109+
.. zephyr-app-commands::
110+
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
111+
:board: arduino_portenta_c33
112+
:goals: flash
113+
:compact:
114+
115+
You should see "Hello World! arduino_portenta_c33" in your terminal.
