QuickFeather

Overview

The QuickFeather development board is a platform with an on-board QuickLogic EOS S3 Sensor Processing Platform.

Hardware

  • QuickLogic EOS S3 MCU Platform

  • mCube MC3635 accelerometer

  • Infineon DPS310 pressure sensor

  • Infineon IM69D130 MEMS microphone

  • 16 Mbit of on-board flash memory

  • User button

  • RGB LED

  • Integrated battery charger

Detailed information about the board can be found in a QuickFeather repository [1].

Programming and Debugging

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

flash debug

Flashing

The QuickFeather platform by default boots from flash. Currently the Zephyr port only enables loading the program directly to SRAM using either OpenOCD and a SWD programmer or SEGGER JLink.

OpenOCD

In order to connect to the target a SWD programmer supported in OpenOCD is needed. To connect to the board run:

openocd -f /path/to/swd-programmer.cfg -f tcl/board/quicklogic_quickfeather.cfg -c "init" -c "reset halt"

The QuickFeather OpenOCD config [3] can be found in the OpenOCD mainline repository.

Debugging

To debug the QuickFeather board please connect to the target with either OpenOCD or JLink and use GDB distributed in Zephyr’s SDK in arm-zephyr-eabi/bin directory.

To load basic sample via GDB:

  • Build the sample in an usual way:

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

  • Connect to the target using either OpenOCD or JLink

  • Connect via GDB and load an ELF file:

/path/to/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi-gdb
target remote <port_number>
file </path/to/zephyr.elf>
load
continue
