More information about the board can be found at the
`nRF91 DK website`_. The `Nordic Semiconductor Documentation library`_
contains the processor's information and the datasheet.
Hardware
********
nRF9160 DK has two external oscillators. The frequency of
the slow clock is 32.768 kHz. The frequency of the main clock
is 32 MHz.

for a complete list of nRF9160 Development Kit board hardware features.
Connections and IOs
===================
LED
---
* LED1 (green) = P0.2
* LED2 (green) = P0.3
* LED3 (green) = P0.4
* LED4 (green) = P0.5
Push buttons and Switches
-------------------------
* BUTTON1 = P0.6
* BUTTON2 = P0.7
* SWITCH1 = P0.8
* SWITCH2 = P0.9
* BOOT = SW5 = boot/reset
Security components
===================
- Implementation Defined Attribution Unit (`IDAU`_). The IDAU is implemented
with the System Protection Unit and is used to define secure and non-secure
memory maps. By default, all of the memory space (Flash, SRAM, and
peripheral address space) is defined to be secure accessible only.
- Secure boot.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
nrf9160_pca10090 supports the Armv8m Security Extension, and by default boots
in the Secure state.
Building Secure/Non-Secure Zephyr applications
==============================================
The process requires the following steps:
1. Build the Secure Zephyr application using ``-DBOARD=nrf9160_pca10090`` and
``CONFIG_TRUSTED_EXECUTION_SECURE=y`` in the the application project configuration file.
2. Build the Non-Secure Zephyr application using ``-DBOARD=nrf9160_pca10090ns``.
3. Merge the two binaries together.
When building a Secure/Non-Secure application, the Secure application will
have to set the IDAU (SPU) configuration to allow Non-Secure access to all
CPU resources utilized by the Non-Secure application firmware. SPU
configuration shall take place before jumping to the Non-Secure application.
Building a Secure only application
==================================
Build the Zephyr app in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application`
and :ref:`application_run`), using ``-DBOARD=nrf9160_pca10090``.
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 board nRF9160 DK
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: nrf9160_pca10090
:goals: build flash
Debugging
=========
Refer to the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to learn about debugging Nordic boards with a
Segger IC.
Testing the LEDs and buttons in the nRF9160 DK
**********************************************
There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on
the board are working properly with Zephyr:
* :ref:`blinky-sample`
* :ref:`button-sample`
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/nrf9160_pca10090/nrf9160_pca10090_common.dts`.
