## Execution Instruction

### Quickly Get Started

This BSP provides MDK 5 and IAR projects for developers. Here's an example of the IAR development environment, to introduce how to run the system.

Then, the necessary libraries should be pulled; otherwise, the compilation will fail.

```bash
    pkgs --update
```

#### Hardware Connection

Use a USB cable to connect the development board to the PC and turn on the power switch.

#### Compile and Download

Double-click the project.eww file, to open the IAR project, compile and download the project to the board.

> By default, the project uses the CMSIS-DAP to download the program, when the CMSIS-DAP connects the board, clicking the download button can download the program to the board.

### **Running Results**

Once the project is successfully downloaded, the system runs automatically.

Connect the serial port of the board to the PC, communicate with it via a serial terminal tool(115200-8-1-N). Reset the board and the startup information of RT-Thread will be observed:

```

```

## **Advanced Features**

This BSP only enables serial port 1 by default. If you need more advanced features, you need to configure the BSP with RT-Thread [Env tools](https://www.rt-thread.io/download.html?download=Env), as follows:

1. Open the env tool under BSP;
2. Enter menuconfig command to configure the project, then save and exit;
3. Enter pkgs --update command to update the package;
4. Enter scons --target=mdk5/iar command to regenerate the project.

## 使用说明

使用说明分为如下两个章节：

- 快速上手

    本章节是为刚接触 RT-Thread 的新手准备的使用说明，遵循简单的步骤即可将 RT-Thread 操作系统运行在该开发板上，看到实验效果 。

- 进阶使用

    本章节是为需要在 RT-Thread 操作系统上使用更多开发板资源的开发者准备的。通过使用 ENV 工具对 BSP 进行配置，可以开启更多板载资源，实现更多高级功能。


### 快速上手

本 BSP 为开发者提供 MDK5 和 IAR 工程。下面以 IAR 开发环境为例，介绍如何将系统运行起来。

**请注意！！！**

在执行编译工作前请先打开ENV执行以下指令（该指令用于拉取必要的库，否则无法通过编译）：

```bash
pkgs --update
```

#### 硬件连接

使用数据线连接开发板到 PC，打开电源开关。

#### 编译下载

双击 project.eww 文件，打开 IAR 工程，编译并下载程序到开发板。

> 工程默认配置使用 CMSIS-DAP 下载程序，在通过 CMSIS-DAP 连接开发板的基础上，点击下载按钮即可下载程序到开发板

#### 运行结果

下载程序成功之后，系统会自动运行。

连接开发板对应串口到 PC , 在终端工具里打开相应的串口（115200-8-1-N），复位设备后，可以看到 RT-Thread 的输出信息:

```

- RT -     Thread Operating System
 / | \     4.1.1 build May 13 2022 11:37:59
 2006 - 2022 Copyright by RT-Thread team
```


### 进阶使用

此 BSP 默认只开启了串口 1 的功能，如果需使用更多高级外设功能，需要利用 ENV 工具对 BSP 进行配置，步骤如下：

1. 在 bsp 下打开 env 工具。

2. 输入 `menuconfig` 命令配置工程，配置好之后保存退出。

3. 输入 `pkgs --update` 命令更新软件包。

4. 输入 `scons --target=mdk5/iar` 命令重新生成工程。
