Programming and Debugging
*************************

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Applications for the ``raytac_mdbt50q_db_33/nrf52833`` board configuration can be
built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details on building and running.

.. note::
   Flashing and Debugging Zephyr onto the raytac_mdbt50q_db_33/nrf52833 board
   requires an	external J-Link programmer. The programmer is attached to the J1
   or J9 SWD connector.

Flashing
========

Follow the instructions in the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install
and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be
found in :ref:`nordic_segger_flashing`. Then build and flash
applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.

Use a USB to TTL converter to connect the computer and raytac_mdbt50q_db_33/nrf52833
J10 connector. Then run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200

Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the port where the USB to TTL converter
can be found. For example, under Linux, :code:`/dev/ttyUSB0`.

Then build and flash the application in the usual way.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: raytac_mdbt50q_db_33/nrf52833
   :goals: build flash

Debugging
=========

The ``raytac_mdbt50q_db_33/nrf52833`` board does not have an on-board-J-Link debug IC,
however, instructions from the :ref:`nordic_segger` page also apply to this board.
Use the Debug out connector of nRF52x DK to connect to the J1 connector, and use SEGGER
J-Link OB IF to debug.

Testing the LEDs and buttons in the Raytac MDBT50Q-DB-33
********************************************************

There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on
the board are working properly with Zephyr:

.. code-block:: console

   samples/basic/blinky
   samples/basic/button

You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running correctly on
your board. The button and LED definitions can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/raytac/mdbt50q_db_33/raytac_mdbt50q_db_33_nrf52833.dts`.

Selecting the pins
==================

Pins can be configured in the board pinctrl file. To see the available mappings,
open the `MDBT50Q-DB-33 Specification`_, chapter 2.5 'Pin Assignment'.
Select the pins marked 'General-purpose I/O'. Note that pins marked as 'low-frequency I/O
only' can only be used in under-10KHz applications. They are not suitable for SPI, I2C,
UART, and PWM.
