NPCX7M6FB_EVB¶
Overview¶
The NPCX7M6FB_EVB kit is a development platform to evaluate the Nuvoton NPCX7 series microcontrollers. This board needs to be mated with part number NPCX796FB.
Hardware¶
ARM Cortex-M4F Processor
256 KB RAM and 64 KB boot ROM
ADC & GPIO headers
UART0 and UART1
FAN PWM interface
Jtag interface
Intel Modular Embedded Controller Card (MECC) headers

Connections and IOs¶
Nuvoton to provide the schematic for this board.
System Clock¶
The NPCX7M6FB MCU is configured to use the 90Mhz internal oscillator with the on-chip PLL to generate a resulting EC clock rate of 15 MHz. See Processor clock control register (chapter 4 in user manual)
Serial Port¶
UART1 is configured for serial logs.
Programming and Debugging¶
This board comes with a Cortex ETM port which facilitates tracing and debugging using a single physical connection. In addition, it comes with sockets for JTAG only sessions.
Flashing¶
Build application as usual for the npcx7m6fb_evb board, and flash
using Servo V2, μServo, or Servo V4 (CCD). See the
Chromium EC Flashing Documentation 1 for more information.
Debugging¶
Use JTAG/SWD with a J-Link
