Hi,

Tx power is reset to 0 between each time the radio is active.

Hi Dimitry,

What you are saying surprises me. My understanding is that the RF Tx power is set based on the value of this register.

Regardless of whether RF is enabled or not, we should be able to read the register value, right?

Hi,

the radio is active for short periods of time, so you will get zeroes most of the time. You can try to catch the values directly with jlink.exe, by typing command "mem32 0x4000150c,5" until you get non-zero result (nrfjprog halts core when connecting, giving you only one attempt)

Hi,

You don't need to provide the number of bytes to read or the width. You can read the TX power of the nRF52840 by using the nrfjprog memrd:

nrfjprog --memrd 0x4000150C
