 I&amp;#39;m going to make a prototype board and use it soon. I will make a prototype board with nrf52840 and use it soon. 
 It&amp;#39;s my first time developing a prototype board because I&amp;#39;ve only used a development board. So I have a question about this. </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2020 11:58:36 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/65280/i-have-a-question-about-developing-prototype-board-firmware" /><item><title>RE: I have a question about developing prototype board firmware.</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/266723?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2020 11:58:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3da40d5f-cf17-449d-b571-846a082db873</guid><dc:creator>Simonr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First off, I would like to point you towards These application notes and white papers that we have on PCB design and antenna tuning: &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/nan_040/APP/nan_040/nan40_intro.html"&gt;nAN40 - Circuit Board Guidelines for aQFN packages&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_015.pdf"&gt;nWP015 - Crystal Oscillator Design Considerations&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_017.pdf"&gt;nWP017 - Antenna Tuning&lt;/a&gt;. You should also check out our &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/short-range-guides/b/hardware-and-layout"&gt;guides/blog posts here on DevZone regarding Hardware and layout&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The simplest way to create an ON/OFF button in HW would be to have one that just cuts the power to the chip. The nRF52840 is equipped with a &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fps_nrf52840%2Fpower.html&amp;amp;&amp;amp;anchor=register.POFCON"&gt;Power-fail comparator&lt;/a&gt; that can be enabled in order to provide the CPU with an early warning of an impending power supply failure.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]And I&amp;#39;m testing with nrf52DK right now, can I use the code I just developed? Should I change a lot of things other than changing the pin number?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;By this, do you mean if there are any changes necessary to port a project developed for the nRF52840 to work on the nRF52832?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
