Use NFC pin and RESET pin as inputs

[Edward_Atam]

Hi, I am using nRF5 SDK for Thread and Zigbee v3.0.0, and I want use NFC pin and RESET pin as inputs.

I wrote in my .emProject this preprocessor definition "CONFIG_NFCT_PINS_AS_GPIOS" and erased "CONFIG_GPIO_AS_PINRESET" but it didn't work.

I erased flash memory before to build and debug my project.

Thanks in advance, any coments are welcome.

Hi,

 

In order to use the reset pin (P0.18) as an normal GPIO, you need to remove the define "CONFIG_GPIO_AS_PINRESET", and rebuild your project (clean it first, then build).

To use the NFC pins (P0.09 and P0.10), the procedure is similar, but you add the define "CONFIG_NFCT_PINS_AS_GPIOS" instead. If you are using the nRF52840-DK for this, you need to move two resistors as well, as described here:

Note: it's always recommended that you erase the flash before programming the updated firmware:

nrfjprog -e -f nrf52

nrfjprog --program <myhex> -f nrf52 --reset

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
