96Boards Nitrogen

Contents

Hardware

Platform :ref:`platform_nordicnrf52`: The nRF52 Series are built for speed to carry out increasingly complex tasks in the shortest possible time and return to sleep, conserving precious battery power. They have a Cortex-M4F processor which makes them quite capable Bluetooth Smart SoCs.

Microcontroller NRF52832
Frequency 64MHz
Flash 512KB
RAM 64KB
Vendor 96Boards

Configuration

Please use 96b_nitrogen ID for :ref:`projectconf_env_board` option in :ref:`projectconf`:

[env:96b_nitrogen]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = 96b_nitrogen

You can override default 96Boards Nitrogen settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest 96b_nitrogen.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:96b_nitrogen]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = 96b_nitrogen

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = nrf52832

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 64000000L

Uploading

96Boards Nitrogen supports the following uploading protocols:

  • blackmagic
  • jlink
  • nrfjprog
  • stlink

Default protocol is jlink

You can change upload protocol using :ref:`projectconf_upload_protocol` option:

[env:96b_nitrogen]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = 96b_nitrogen

upload_protocol = jlink

Debugging

:ref:`piodebug` - "1-click" solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging :ref:`debugging_tools` using :ref:`projectconf_debug_tool` option in :ref:`projectconf`.

96Boards Nitrogen does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.

Compatible Tools On-board Default
:ref:`debugging_tool_blackmagic`   Yes
:ref:`debugging_tool_jlink`    
:ref:`debugging_tool_stlink`    

Frameworks

Name Description
:ref:`framework_zephyr` Zephyr is a new generation, scalable, optimized, secure RTOS for multiple hardware architectures
