Using P0.27 as GPIO with nRF9160

Hello,

I want to use P0.27 as output but no way to get it working (tested on my custom board and on DK). If I just change for another pin to check my code, it's OK.

It looks like if P0.27 is used somewhere else but I Don't know how to get it.

  • Hi.

    By default, P0.27 is used as the CTS pin for UART0 on pca10090.

    On the DK, that pin is not routed to the header by default.

    In this ticket, I explain how to change the pin routing, and provide an application that routes the pins used by UART0 to the headers.

    Can you try to flash the application provided there to the nRF52840 board controller on the DK, and see if that helps?

    You might also have to assign a different pin to UART0.

    Best regards,
