Nordic nRF91
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The nRF91 series of chips from Nordic Semiconductor are based around an ARM Cortex-M33 core
|
|
with integrated LTE-M/NB-IoT modem and GNSS.
|
|
|
|
Modem Support
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Modem is supported in the nRF91 using Nordic's `Modem library <https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrfxlib/nrf_modem/README.html>`_.
|
|
|
|

========== ======= =================

|
I2C
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
I2C is supported both in polling and interrupt mode (via EasyDMA).
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The I2C peripheral does not support sending two transfers without sending
|
|
a START nor RSTART. For this reason, this is supported via an internal buffer where
|
|
messages will be first copied to and sent together.
|
|
|
|
The lower-half of I2C bus is initialized by :c:func:`nrf91_i2cbus_initialize`.
|
|
|
|
SPI
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
SPI is supported both in polling and interrupt-based (via EasyDMA) mode. The latter
|
|
supports arbitrarily long transfers using Nordic's list-mode EasyDMA (intermediate
|
|
transfers are currently still manually started).
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use SPI without either MOSI/MISO pin defined by simply not providing
|
|
the relevant ``BOARD_SPI*_MISO/MOSI_PIN`` definition.
|
|
|
|
This implementation support power management hooks, which will disable SPI peripheral when
|
|
entering either SLEEP or STANDBY modes and reconfigure it when going back to NORMAL mode.
|
|
|
|
UART
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
UART is implemented using polling. UARTE EasyDMA feature is not yet supported.
|
|
This may introduce a large number of interrupts which may be undesirable.
|
|
|
|
PWM
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
PWM is supported via standard driver. This means that more advanced features such as
|
|
complex sequences or waveform modes are not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
TIMER
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The TIMER peripheral is exposed as standard timer.
|
|
|
|
RTC
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The RTC peripheral is exposed as a standard timer, since it is really a low-power
|
|
timer, without any date handling capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Tool Issues
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
OpenOCD
|
|
-------------
|
|
There is no official support for Nordic Cortex M33 chips (nRF9160 or nRF5340).
|
|
|
|
Segger J-Link
|
|
-------------
|
|
To start the GDB servers for the application core, use these commands::
|
|
|
|
JLinkGDBServer -device nRF9160 -if SWD -speed 4000 -port 2331
|
|
|
|
Then you can connect GDB to targets::
|
|
|
|
(gdb) target remote localhost:2331
