RE: case about nRF54L15 NFC PIN P1.02 & PWM

Hi,

Yes, P1.02 can be used for PWM on nRF54L15 but only after you disable the NFC function and turn it into a normal GPIO. P1.02 is on port 1 and by default P1.02/P1.03 are NFC pins, so it won’t behave like normal GPIO (and therefore can’t output PWM) until NFC is disabled.

On nRF54L15, NFC pins can be changed to GPIO via UICR by adding following configuration in the overlay:

/* Make NFC pins behave as GPIOs */
&uicr {
	nfct-pins-as-gpios;
};

Then you can assign P1.02 to any PWM channel in the overlay and make sure you enable it in prj.conf aswell through CONFIG_PWM=y. If you want a complete PWM sample code, you can check the following exercise and adapt to P1.02:
