.. zephyr:board:: promicro_nrf52840
More of a board type than a unique board, It is based on Nice!Nano.
Also referred to as Pro Micro, Promicro, SuperMini nRF52840 boards.
Overview
********
The hardware provides support for the Nordic
Semiconductor nRF52840 ARM Cortex-M4F CPU and the following devices:
* :abbr:`ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)`
* CLOCK
* FLASH
* :abbr:`GPIO (General Purpose Input Output)`
* :abbr:`I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)`
* :abbr:`MPU (Memory Protection Unit)`
* :abbr:`NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)`
* :abbr:`PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)`
* RADIO (Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4)
* :abbr:`RTC (nRF RTC System Clock)`
* :abbr:`SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)`
* :abbr:`UART (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter)`
* :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)`
* :abbr:`WDT (Watchdog Timer)`
More information about the original board can be found at the
`Nice!Nano website`_.
Information about clones can be found at `Clone Wiki`_.
Pinout and Schematic are available in the `Nice!Nano Documentation`_
Supported Features
==================
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
Connections and IOs
===================
LED
---
* LED0 = P0.15, can be any color.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::
Applications for the ``promicro_nrf52840/nrf52840`` board target can be
built in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application` for more details).
Flashing
========
The board is factory-programmed with Adafruit's UF2 bootloader
#. Reset the board into the bootloader by bridging ground and RST 2 times
quickly
The status LED should start a fade pattern, signalling the bootloader is
running.
#. Compile a Zephyr application; we'll use :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky`.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:app: zephyr/samples/basic/blinky
:board: promicro_nrf52840/nrf52840/uf2
:goals: build
#. Flash it onto the board. You may need to mount the device.
.. code-block:: console
west flash
When this command exits, observe the red LED on the board blinking,
Debugging
=========
You may debug this board using the broken out pads on the back.
PyOCD and openOCD can be used to flash and debug this board.
Recovery
========
In case of a error resulting in a board's bootloader becoming inaccessible,
it is possible to flash anything directly using openOCD:
#. Setup OpenOCD correctly, here for WCH linkE in ARM mode:
.. code-block:: console
openocd -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/nrf52.cfg
Note interface and target folders are from openOCD's tcl folder.
#. Connect to openOCD, for example with telnet or GDB:
.. code-block:: console
telnet localhost 4444
.. code-block:: console
target extended-remote localhost:3333
#. Erase flash:
.. code-block:: console
reset halt
nrf5 mass_erase
or
.. code-block:: console
mon reset halt
mon nrf5 mass_erase
#. Flash Bootloader
.. code-block:: console
flash write_image erase nice_nano_bootloader-0.9.2_s140_6.1.1.hex
or
.. code-block:: console
mon flash write_image erase nice_nano_bootloader-0.9.2_s140_6.1.1.hex
