nRF5340 U-Blox Nora B120 FEM module

[.....]

Hello,


I have U-Blox Nora B120 dev boards. Nora B120 chip has built in Skyworks SKY66405-11 FEM IC and I want to use it.

I read in the documentation to copy folder with board to SDK folder. I did that, but my program didn't compile.

Regarding to image above (which is a screenshot from the documentation): I copied ubx_evknorab12_nrf5340  - NOT ubx_evknorab10_nrf534 as in the picture above (nora B10 does not have built-in FEM)


Then I read to modify nrf5340dk folder. I did it and my program compiled. (screenshots from the documentation below)



Documentation links:
EVK-NORA-B1 User Guide
NORA-B1 series, system integration manual



But there is a problem.
My program is a combination of modified "ble-timesync-demo" and "Multi-NUS Central" / "Peripheral UART" programs.
LINKS:
https://github.com/nordic-auko/nRF5-ble-timesync-demo
https://github.com/NordicMatt/multi-NUS

This program has been divided into 2 separate programs. One is the MASTER - data receiver which sends the synchronization and second one is the PERIPHERAL - data transmitter which receives the synchronization.

With "normal" 5340dk configuration it works properly, but on modified 5340 board config - MASTER is receiving data and sending synchronization, but PERIPHERAL isn't receiving synchronization data.


Can you help me resolve this problem?

PS: For now I am using SDK v2.5.0. but I plan to upgrade to v2.8.0 or newer. Will the configuration changes needed to run FEM on Nora B120 in SDK v2.5.0 be the same as in v2.8.0 and v2.9.1?


Best Regards

Hello,

I tried also on NCS v2.6.1 and beacon sample compiles but my program is not working (for normal 5340dk it compiles).

Best regards

Those are DTS errors. Look at the generated dts files in build/zephyr directories - some of the GPIOTE stuff is either missing or not enabled.

[.....]

But why it compiles for normal nrf5340dk but not for nora B12 ? This is the same code.
Nora added this config which 5340dk hasn't:

nrf_radio_fem: norab12_fem {

        compatible = "skyworks,sky66112-11", "generic-fem-two-ctrl-pins";

        ctx-gpios = < &gpio1 0x8 0x0 >;

        crx-gpios = < &gpio1 0x9 0x0 >;

        tx-gain-db = < 0xa >;

        rx-gain-db = < 0x5 >;

};


Why it is not working for nora ?

I am having issue reproducing your observation, both your latest one with NCS v2.6.1, and your previous one 

..... said:

warning: the default selection BT_HCI_IPC (undefined) of <choice BT_HCI_BUS_TYPE> (defined at boards/shields\x_nucleo_idb05a1\Kconfig.defconfig:11, C:/ncs/v2.5.0/zephyr/boards/arm/ubx_evknorab12_nrf5340/Kconfig.defconfig:84, drivers/bluetooth/hci/Kconfig:11) is not contained in the choice

error: Aborting due to Kconfig warnings

Could you please confirm that this is the board file you are using?
https://github.com/u-blox/u-blox-sho-OpenCPU/tree/master/zephyr/boards/arm/ubx_evknorab12_nrf5340

Please download another copy and run a compare.

I have been hesitating to mention this, but have you contacted u-blox for more information on which board files should be used, and which SDK versions are supported with the board files?

I would like to help you pinpoint more the issues first before recommending this, but this progress makes me think maybe it's better to check with them first.

[.....]

I found why I had an error while compiling. In my project I have boards files, so I copied "nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet" and "nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpunet" files and changed name to "ubx_evknorab12_nrf5340_cpunet" and "ubx_evknorab12_nrf5340_cpuapp".
Now it compiles.


But I have question.
How to turn on fem module ?

For now I have this functions, but I'm not sure that is this proper way to turn on fem.

CODE:

#define TX_EN_PIN 8
#define RX_EN_PIN 9

void enable_pa() {
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(TX_EN_PIN);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(TX_EN_PIN);
}
void enable_lna() {
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(RX_EN_PIN);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(RX_EN_PIN);
}

I call this function in main() - (enable_lna() for central device and enable_pa() for peripheral device).

My CENTRAL device mainly receives data, but also sends data sometimes.
My PERIPHERAL device mainly sends data, but also receives data sometimes.

Will it be good to turn on LNA (RX_EN) for CENTRAL device and PA (TX_EN) for PERIPHERAL device. I want to increase the transmission range.
Will these settings improve the receiving range in CENTRAL and worsen the sending range and will they improve the sending range in PERIPHERAL and worsen the receiving range, or will they only improve those ranges without worsening anything?
