u-blox EVK-BMD-34/38: BMD-340-EVAL and BMD-341-EVAL
###################################################
Overview
********
The BMD-340-EVAL and BMD-341-EVAL hardware provides support for the
u-blox BMD-340 and BMD-341 Bluetooth 5.0 modules, based on the
Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 ARM Cortex-M4F CPU. the BMD-340 and
BMD-341 are identical in operation except for the antenna. The
BMD-340 has a PCB antenna while the BMD-341 has a U.FL connector.
Both support 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)`
* Segger RTT (RTT Console)
* :abbr:`SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)`
* :abbr:`UART (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter)`
* :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)`
* :abbr:`WDT (Watchdog Timer)`

More information about the BMD-340-EVAL, BMD-340 module, BMD-341-EVAL,
and BMD-341 module can be found at the `u-blox website`_.
All of the Nordic Semiconductor examples for the nRF52840 DK
(nrf52840dk_nrf52840) may be used without modification.
..note::
The BMD-340 and BMD-341 are identical except for the antenna.
Throughout this board support package, the filenames utilize
the ubx_bmd340eval_nrf52840.
Hardware
********
The BMD-340 on the BMD-340-EVAL (or BMD-341 on the BMD-341-EVAL)
contains an internal high-frequency oscillator at 32MHz.
There is also a low frequency (slow) oscillator of 32.768kHz.
The BMD-340 and BMD-341 do not include the slow crystal;
however, the BMD-340-EVAL and BMD-341-EVAL do.
.. note::
When targeting a custom design without a slow crystal, be sure
to modify code to utilize the internal RC oscillator for the
slow clock.

Programming and Debugging
*************************
Applications for the BMD-340-EVAL and BMD-341-EVAL board
configurations can be built and flashed in the usual way
(see :ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run`
for more details); however, the standard debugging targets
are not currently available.
Flashing
========
Follow the instructions in the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install
and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be
found in :ref:`nordic_segger_flashing`. Then build and flash
applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).
Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.
First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.
.. code-block:: console
$ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200
Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the port where the BMD-340-EVAL
or BMD-341-EVAL can be found. For example, under Linux,
:code:`/dev/ttyACM0`.
Then build and flash the application in the usual way.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: ubx_bmd340eval_nrf52840
:goals: build flash
Debugging
=========
Refer to the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to learn about debugging
u-blox boards with a Segger J-LINK-OB IC.
Testing the LEDs and buttons in the BMD-340-EVAL and BMD-341-EVAL
*****************************************************************
There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons
(switches) and LEDs on the board are working properly with Zephyr:
.. code-block:: console
samples/basic/blinky
samples/basic/button
You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running
correctly on your board. The button and LED definitions can be found
in
:zephyr_file:`boards/arm/ubx_bmd340eval_nrf52840/ubx_bmd340eval_nrf52840.dts`.
Using UART1
***********
The following approach can be used when an application needs to use
more than one UART for connecting peripheral devices:
1. Add device tree overlay file to the main directory of your
application:
.. code-block:: devicetree
&pinctrl {
uart1_default: uart1_default {
group1 {
psels = <NRF_PSEL(UART_TX, 0, 14)>,
<NRF_PSEL(UART_RX, 0, 16)>;
};
};
/* required if CONFIG_PM_DEVICE=y */
uart1_sleep: uart1_sleep {
group1 {
psels = <NRF_PSEL(UART_TX, 0, 14)>,
<NRF_PSEL(UART_RX, 0, 16)>;
low-power-enable;
};
};
};
&uart1 {
compatible = "nordic,nrf-uarte";
current-speed = <115200>;
status = "okay";
pinctrl-0 = <&uart1_default>;
pinctrl-1 = <&uart1_sleep>;
pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
};
In the overlay file above, pin P0.16 is used for RX and P0.14 is
used for TX
2. Use the UART1 as ``DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_NODELABEL(uart1))``
Overlay file naming
===================
The file has to be named ``<board>.overlay`` and placed in the app
main directory to be picked up automatically by the device tree
compiler.
Selecting the pins
==================
Pins can be configured in the board pinctrl file. To see the available mappings,
open the data sheet for the BMD-340 at the `u-blox website`_, Section 2
'Pin definition'. In the table 3 select the pins marked 'GPIO'.
Note that pins marked as 'Standard drive, low frequency I/O only
(<10 kH' can only be used in under-10KHz applications.
They are not suitable for 115200 speed of UART.
.. note:
Pins are defined according to the "nRF52" pin number, not the module
pad number.
