Configuring nRF5340 DK

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 Arun,

    This app is currently only support for the nRF91 series. This is why your nRF5340 DK shows up as unsupported.

    To get started, I recommend going through the SDK fundamentals course at https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-fundamentals/. You will need to install the SDK to build and configure the hex files you want

  • Hi Vidar,

    Aint the programmer come as part of the nRF Connect? 
    on opening programmer from nRF Connect I'm getting the below window. 

    Also while trying to use the "Bluetooth Low Energy" Tool in nRF connect, I'm getting this below window saying, "Error occured when opening port. Errorcode: NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT (0xd)",

    How to resolve this and execute programs to configure the chip in BLE modes?

    Basically, what I'm looking for is to configure the chip's BT/BLE modes at first.

    Regards,

  • Hi Arun,

    Thank you for the response. But on changing the parameters in gap.h for advertisement interval, it was working,

    It's not that it doesn't work, but you should generally avoid modifying source files in the SDK tree. When you change this definition, it will change the advertising interval not just for your project, but also for any other project using the same symbol.

  • Got it, but what I'm looking for is to set the connection interval to a set rate just like how I set advertising interval. 

    for which it is not working for me whether editing gap.h or  "CONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL_PREF_MAX_INT" in prj.conf. Is there any way I can set connection interval, through any other example or any other method?

    also please suggest me the examples to configure the device in scan, tx and rx modes.

  • As mentioned earlier, a GAP peripheral cannot set the connection interval.

    How do you determine that it is not working?

    Could you please provide more details about what you are trying to evaluate? TX and RX currents can be measured during connection events, as illustrated by the power profiles in our online power profiler. What is the purpose of testing with a 100% duty cycle?

  • >>>How do you determine that it is not working?

     I added this command "CONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL_PREF_MAX_INT" in prj.conf with intervals to set,
    example- CONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL_PREF_MAX_INT 40,  
    CONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL_PREF_MAX_INT 800 etc.

    But on flashing the program after the changes I still seeing only 30ms connection interval on the power measurement.

  • Hi Vidar,

    how exactly can we measure TX and Rx cases in connected event can you explain the process also is there any other nRF connect examples for these??

    Regards,
