Button
------

Thingy:52 has a pushbutton, connected to the P0.11 SOC GPIO pin.

Serial
------

By default the system UART has the following pin configuration:

+---------+--------+
| SOC Pin | Signal |
+=========+========+
| P0.02   | TX     |
+---------+--------+
| P0.03   | RX     |
+---------+--------+

The pins can be found on the P4 and P6 connectors. The system UART console
uses these pins by default.

Internal I2C Bus
----------------

The internal I2C bus (I2C_0) is not routed to any of the external connectors,
but most of the on-board devices are accessed through it. The following pins
have been assigned to the bus:

+---------+---------+
| SOC Pin | Signal  |
+=========+=========+
| P0.07   | SDA     |
+---------+---------+
| P0.08   | SCL     |
+---------+---------+

The following devices are attached to the bus.

+----------+---------+
| Device   | Address |
+==========+=========+
| SX1509B  | 0x3e    |
+----------+---------+
| LPS22HB  | 0x5c    |
+----------+---------+
| HTS221   | 0x5f    |
+----------+---------+
| CCS811   | 0x5a    |
+----------+---------+

External I2C Bus
----------------

The external I2C bus (I2C_1) can be found on the P4 header and the P5 and P7
connectors.

+---------+---------+
| SOC Pin | Signal  |
+=========+=========+
| P0.14   | SDA_EXT |
+---------+---------+
| P0.15   | SCL_EXT |
+---------+---------+

Pin Header
----------

This is the pinout of the P4 pin header. Some of the SOC GPIO pins and I2C GPIO
expander pins are accessible through it. It also allows attaching external
devices to the four on-board N-channel MOSFET transistors.

+-----+---------------+-----------------------+
| Pin | Device        | Signal / Device Pin   |
+=====+===============+=======================+
| 1   | SOC           | SCL_EXT / P0.15       |

| 9   | GPIO Expander | Pin 2                 |
+-----+---------------+-----------------------+
| 10  | GPIO Expander | Pin 3                 |
+-----+---------------+-----------------------+

+-----+---------------+-----------------------+

MOSFETs
~~~~~~~

The MOSFETs are attached to the following SOC GPIO pins:

+----------+----------+
| Device   | Gate Pin |
+==========+==========+
| MOSFET 1 | P0.18    |
+----------+----------+
| MOSFET 2 | P0.19    |
+----------+----------+
| MOSFET 3 | P0.20    |
+----------+----------+
| MOSFET 4 | P0.21    |
+----------+----------+

Power Rails
-----------

Thing:52 has multiple power rails. The necessary rails for the currently
supported devices are listed here.

+---------+--------------+----------------------+
| Name    | Derived from | Controlled by        |
+=========+==============+======================+
| VREG    | The battery  | Always on            |
+---------+--------------+----------------------+
| VDD_nRF | VREG         | Always on            |
+---------+--------------+----------------------+
| VDD     | VREG         | SOC pin P0.30        |
+---------+--------------+----------------------+
| VDD_CCS | VDD          | GPIO expander pin 10 |
+---------+--------------+----------------------+

Due to the dependencies of the power rails, multiple rails may need to be
powered for a given device to turn on. The correct order of powering up the
rails is the order of the rails down the dependency chain. For example, in order
to power the CCS811 gas sensor, VDD has to be turned on first and VDD_CCS after
it. Here's a list of the devices and their power rails:

+----------+---------+
| Device   | Rail    |
+==========+=========+
| nRF52832 | VDD_nRF |
+----------+---------+
| SX1509B  | VDD     |
+----------+---------+
| LPS22HB  | VDD     |
+----------+---------+
| HTS221   | VDD     |
+----------+---------+
| CCS811   | VDD_CCS |
+----------+---------+

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

Flashing
========

Flashing Zephyr onto Thingy:52 requires an external J-Link programmer. The
programmer is attached to the P9 programming header.


Debugging
=========

Thingy:52 does not have an on-board J-Link debug IC as some other nRF5
development boards, however, instructions from the :ref:`nordic_segger` page
also apply to this board, with the additional step of connecting an external
debugger. A development board with a Debug out connector such as the
:ref:`nrf52dk_nrf52832` can be used as a debugger with Thingy:52.

Testing board features
**********************

The green lightwell LED can be tested with the :ref:`blinky-sample` example.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
   :board: thingy52_nrf52832
   :goals: build flash


Also the temperature and humidity sensor can be tested with the :ref:`hts221`
sample.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/hts221
