Porting project from nrf52840 to nrf54L15 (device tree)

Question

Hello,

I have a program working well in SDK 2.9.1 on nrf52840DK. I want to port it over to nrf54L15DK.

Please help me identify corresponding ports I can use on nrf54L15. I am just listing the relevant ports, the code I am showing is incomplete.
Your help would be much appreciated.

I am using the following ports:

Overlay file

SPI display:

        dc-gpios = <&gpio0 30 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
        reset-gpios = <&gpio0 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        spi-dev = <&spi3>;
        
&spi3_default {
	group1 {
		psels = <NRF_PSEL(SPIM_SCK, 0, 28)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(SPIM_MISO, 0, 4)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(SPIM_MOSI, 0, 29)>;
		nordic,drive-mode = <NRF_DRIVE_H0H1>;
	};
};

watchdog

// Watchdog
&wdt {
    status = "okay";
};

buttons:

/{
    aliases {
        sw0 = &button_left;
        sw1 = &button_right;
        sw2 = &button_select;
        sw3 = &button_select2;
    };
};
/{
    buttons {
        compatible = "gpio-keys";

        button_left: button_0 {
            gpios = <&gpio0 11 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)>;
            label = "Button Up";
        };

        button_right: button_1 {
            gpios = <&gpio0 12 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)>;
            label = "Button Down";
        };

        button_select: button_2 {
            gpios = <&gpio0 24 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)>;
            label = "Button Select";
        };

		button_select2: button_3 {
            gpios = <&gpio0 25 (GPIO_PULL_UP | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW)>;
            label = "Button Select2";
        };
    };
};

In code

LED / PWM:

#define PIN_R 13
#define PIN_G 14
#define PIN_B 15

static NRF_PWM_Type *pwm = NRF_PWM0;

Display backlight / PWM:

#define DISPLAY_PWM_INSTANCE NRF_PWM1

Storage (NVS)

#define NVS_PARTITION             storage_partition

Wakeup pin

#define WAKEUP_PIN 24  

void configure_wakeup_pin(void) {
    nrf_gpio_cfg_input(WAKEUP_PIN, NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLUP);
    nrf_gpio_cfg_sense_set(WAKEUP_PIN, NRF_GPIO_PIN_SENSE_LOW);
}

Hi, 
 The best approach here is to go through the PS and find the relevant GPIOs so that they match your design https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf54L15/page/keyfeatures_html5.html#ariaid-title1 
 A Nordic FAE has also made this unofficial experimental tool that you can try to use for pin planning that might be helpful: https://hlord2000.github.io/ 
 You can also compare the nRF54L15 DK board files up towards your existing board file: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/blob/main/boards/nordic/nrf54l15dk/nrf54l15dk_common.dtsi

 The nRF54L uses RRAM instead of Flash, so you might want to evaluate migrating to ZMS backend https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/app_dev/device_guides/nrf54l/zms.html 
 Kind regards, Andreas
