 What is the boot_PIN or Boot_Mode PIN

&lt;p&gt;I am not familiar with the terms&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;quot;boot mode&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;boot pin&amp;quot;, but it sounds to me like you just want to check if a GPIO is pressed during (power-on) reset, and make a decision based on that. This should be straight forward: Just configure a pin as GPIO input and read it in the start of your application (the pin must still be asserted when&amp;nbsp;the application starts up in this case, but that should not be a problem). Then enter test mode where you accept UART commands and do the various tests you have implemented. The SDK does not have any single example&amp;nbsp;that match your requirement, but you should find most of the pieces you&amp;nbsp;need in the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v12.3.0/examples_hw_peripheral_devices.html?cp=4_0_7_4_5"&gt;hardware peripheral examples&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
