nRF9160 DK board controller SourceCode

[Hoang]

Dear, 

I am using nrf9160 DK, we can download hex fiel for boardcontroller 

nRF9160 DK board controller firmware 

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF9160-DK/Download#infotabs

nRF9160_DK_board_controller_FW.hex 

It will be programmed for nRF52 to control nRF9160 DK board

Can you share the source code?

Thanks, 

Regards,

Hi,

The board controller fw is currently not available in source code. But as mentioned at this link, it's possible to route some pins differently from what is done in the preprogrammed firmware.

The nRF9160 DK User Guide v0.7.2 states: «Configurable code examples for the nRF52840 allowing to change the board routing can be found in the nRF Connect SDK».

I've looked in the applications and samples folder, but I can't find it. Is it still not available? Is there a trace on the PCB I can cut to use P0.02-P0.09 from the pin headers?

Hi gregers,

Take a look at this post. It covers routing UART pins, but the same method is used for the LEDs and buttons. The board controller can be found here. (it's included when you build e.g. hello_world sample for target nrf52840_pca10090, and configurable with kconfig/menuconfig)
