Configuring nRF5340 DK

arun12

Hi,

How to configure nRF5340 DK for evaluation. 

While I tried using nRF connect for desktop and while using "Quick start" tool, it only stays in the searching for device window and doesn't show any progress from there.

the tool shows a window like this and stays there. 
And while using PROGRAMMER application, it shows the device is connected, "Device is loaded and ready for further operation". But where can I find the hex files to program the device.

In short, I want to configure the device in different modes for evaluation and measure the Current consumption and RF performance of the device in those states.

please help me configure the device.

Regards,

Arun

    Hi Vidar,

    I'm programming the DK, nRF4350 using the VS Code extension. But all the example programs are giving current measurement way higher than expected, it looks like the chip is not going to sleep.

    For example while advertising, we expect the chip to go back to sleep at the time where it is not advertising right? Like that how to configure the device in sleep in general and in these modes?

    Please help me configure this.

    Regards,

    Arun

    Hi Arun,

    All samples are set up to enter sleep mode between tasks. However, the sleep current can be in the 0.5-1mA range since the UART driver is enabled by default. Have you tried disabling UART by adding 'CONFIG_SERIAL=n' to your prj.conf file?

    Hi Vidar,
    I was facing issues on flashing programs through VS code.

    The thing is where can I see the status of the flashed program, 

    for example the throughput example says it can be switched between peer and tester. But where can I monitor and make the changes accodingly?

    is it TeraTerm or any other tool, this was a little unclear from the documentations.

    Also can you direct me to configure the below modes in the nRF5340 board for soc 5340.

    1, sleep

    2, BLE Advertisement

    3, BLE Scan

    4,BLE Connected 

    5,BLE TX and RX

    What is the issue? Do you get any errors?

    Yes, you can use TeraTerm.

    As mentioned, all samples will enter sleep mode during idle periods. This means the CPU will go into sleep mode between advertising and connection events.

    Hi Vidar,
    I'm not able to see the device status in TeraTerm.

    which examples in the nRF connect can be used to put the device is advertising and connection event?


    I mean which all examples in VS Code nRF Connect can I be used to get current measuremt of nRF5340 at the above mentioned modes?

    Regards,

    Arun
