Hi,

Happy to help out!

[quote user="AndersG0"]its interesting to get a little bit under the bonnet and understand how things work. [/quote]

If you are interested in how the RTOS works, I can recommend looking at our dev academy:

https://academy.nordicsemi.com/

The quiz after each exercise is quite educational.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Thanks a lot!
As newbie to both the 54L and the "zephyr / nrfConnect" environment,
its interesting to get a little bit under the bonnet and understand how things work.

Hi,

Oh, you are indeed correct! Sorry about that mis-alignment from my side.

The correct placement for the nRF54L-series devices is in the system file:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/hal_nordic/blob/master/nrfx/bsp/stable/mdk/system_nrf54l.c#L141-L142

If calibration is required, the loading from ficr to the appropriate peripheral will be included.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Håkon,
With reference to the above now closed ticket.
After the last communication, I was in contact with my RSM and there will be a new production batch of nrf54lm20a any day now.

Also looked at what is supported in the latest SDK 3.2.3, which I use:
From what I could see, none of the nrf54LXX-SOCs seem to be supported, only nrf54h20_types(.h) and nrf9230_engb_types(.h).
That is, NRF_FICR_HAS_GLOBAL_SAADC_LINCALCOEFF, was not defined for any others...

If I understand the matter correctly, the SDK will need to be updated for the whole thing to work without modification.
Is it in the pipeline to be done soon?

Thanks, I have the contact details of my RSM, we can close the issue now.

Kind regards, Anders

Hi Anders,

There are no official specs for the nRF54LM20A device as of this time. The device in question is still in the engineering phase.

If you require roadmap related information, I would recommend that you contact your local regional sales manager.

If you do not have the contact details of your local RSM, please send me a direct message with your location, and I will provide you with this information.

Kind regards,

Håkon

OK,
I saw the elec-specs for the others.
What is the easiest way to find out if my samples are ADC calibrated or not?
(To initate the ADC and the look at the register content...?)

KInd regards, Anders

Hi,

Production grade silicon will be calibrated, while engineering silicon is not guaranteed to be.

SAADC electrical specs are not yet present for the nRF54LM20A device:

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf54LM20A/page/chapters/current_consumption/doc/current_consumption.html

They are however present for the nRF54L15/10/05 devices:

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf54L15/page/_tmp/nrf54l15/autodita/SAADC/parameters.elec_spec.html

Kind regards,

Håkon

OK, Thanks.
So does that mean that every device ADC is calibrated during production testing?
(Also current engineering samples of nrf54LM20A?)

Kind regards, Anders

Hi,

This is a register that is written to when the driver is initialised.

There will be data copied from the FICR area, which is device specific data, and placed into the driver area, as shown here:

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/hal_nordic/blob/nrfx-4.0.1/nrfx/drivers/src/nrfx_saadc.c#L382-L386

This register should not be written to by the application.

Kind regards,

Håkon
