 in our new project we need to drive a GPIO high as soon as possible after startup. 
 I have tried with the PRE_KERNEL_1 priority for the device driver but still takes 500ms after POR. 
 Is there a way to boot faster or toggle the pin eralier</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 13:16:31 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/127955/drive-gpio-high-at-startup-as-soon-as-possible-with-the-nrf54l15" /><item><title>RE: Drive GPIO high at startup as soon as possible with the nRF54L15</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/565685?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 13:16:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:aab54442-4712-4719-93d6-f9af97909c08</guid><dc:creator>Susheel Nuguru</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Andrea,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems like 500ms is a bit too much. Are you using crystal LF and/or HF clocks. It is good to check if the clock calibration is taking that long time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are using secure mode, then TF-M initialization is known to take time aswell. Did you try to use EARLY instead of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;PRE_KERNEL_1?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
