NRF52840 Dongle Missing Green LED on LD2

[jdts]

Hello All,

I've recently run into an issue with the nRF52840 Dongle where the Green channel for LD2 is not lighting up, this is a problem that is persistent across all four nRF2840 Dongles in my possession.

Two of the dongles are dated 2018.42, and the other two are dated 2018.34.

I can see 4 traces leading into the LEDs so I am assuming all 3 channels are connected, perhaps it's a misconfiguration in the BSP?

LEDs are defined as follow in pca10059.h from nRF5 SDK 15.2.0.

// LED definitions for PCA10059
// Each LED color is considered a separate LED
#define LEDS_NUMBER    4

#define LED1_G         NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(0,6)
#define LED2_R         NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(0,8)
#define LED2_G         NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(1,9)
#define LED2_B         NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(0,12)

#define LED_1          LED1_G
#define LED_2          LED2_R
#define LED_3          LED2_G
#define LED_4          LED2_B

#define LED_START      LED_1
#define LED_STOP       LED_4

#define LEDS_ACTIVE_STATE 0

#define LEDS_LIST { LED_1, LED_2, LED_3, LED_4 }

#define LEDS_INV_MASK  LEDS_MASK

#define BSP_LED_0      LED_1
#define BSP_LED_1      LED_2
#define BSP_LED_2      LED_3
#define BSP_LED_3      LED_4

Any comments on the matter would be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!

Hi,

I have booted up a nRF52840 Dongle dated 2018.34, and run the blinky LED example via nRF connect, and all all LEDs are working just fine. I suggest you try running this example to verify that your hardware is working.

I also see that you have

 

#define LED_START      LED_1
#define LED_STOP       LED_4

which does not exist in the original SDK header file.

Could you please share your BSP-configurations and firmware so that I can look into it?

Best regards,

Simon

Hello Simonr,

I am currently using the nRF Mesh SDK3.0.0 light_switch_server example and have (mostly) adapted it to the nrf52840 dongle, the LED_START and LED_STOP were added to suppress errors that were given by simple_hal.c in the hal_leds_init function found on line 167. It expects a start point and stop point in the for loop.

Here's my firmware, other than adapting it to have 2 Generic OnOffs, it's mostly untouched.

In the initial startup of the PCA10059 leds and PCA10056, all 4 LEDs work fine on PCA10056, but only 3 of the 4 light up on the PCA10059 (Green missing).

I ran the blinky example and green led turned on just fine, so I am suspecting a bug in the SDK.

I should also mention that the button doesn't work either; oddly enough.

Preprocessor is set to include BOARD_PCA10059

Update

Green LED seems to work fine if I use the GPIO approach, ie.

#define PIN_LEDG                    NRF_GPIO_PIN_MAP(1,9)
...

static void app_onoff_server_set_cb(const app_onoff_server_t * p_server, bool onoff)
{
    if(onoff){
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(PIN_LEDG);
    }else{
    nrf_gpio_pin_clear(PIN_LEDG);
    }
}

static void initialize(void){
...
nrf_gpio_cfg_output(PIN_LEDG);
...
}

Might just be a bug with how simple_hal is handling the dongle.
