Hello,
I am looking for some some nRF5340 example code that reads the nRF5340 die temperature using zephyr APIs.
I've looked at previous posts but I could only find this one https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/56171/how-to-get-die-temperature-on-nrf52832-using-zephyr from 10 months ago that stated none existed. I am hoping someone, somewhere musty have done something similar.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Hi,
The temp peripheral is only accessible on the network core:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf5340/temp.html?cp=3_0_0_6_33
So we need to configure the board nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpunet, but since the network core is started from the app cpu, you first need to have something on the app core running with this config set:
CONFIG_BOARD_ENABLE_CPUNET=y
I used sample/nrf5340/empty_app_core.
For uart output from the network core, connect P0.25 to P0.20.
If you also need UART RXD, connect P0.26 to P0.22.
Here's an example that shows how to use the NRF_TEMP peripheral:
Kind regards,
Håkon
Hi Hakon,
I have built and run the project that reads the die temperature. I can see the see the temperature values going up and down as I heat and cool the device. However, I am still not clear how to read these values from the network core into my application.
Please advise.
Kind regards
Mohamed
Hi Hakon,
I have received a notification about your previous reply. Have you made any changes on your side? Anyway, Notifications are working now.
I still have not had a chance to try your proposed die temperature solution. While waiting for your response I started another task and I need to complete it before I can go back to the die temperature. I will probably look at it sometimes tomorrow.
Kind regards
Mohamed

I am glad to hear that the notifications are now working!

No worries. If you run into any issues, please let us know.

Hi Hakon,
I have implemented the changes in my project as per your example but I am unable to load my project in SES. Below in blue is the error I am getting. Note, I am using SES v5.34a and NCS v1.5.0-rc1.

Hi,
Learner said:What are the two folders blinky_send and blinky_temp for?
Those should have been deleted, as the project name wasn't descriptive from my side. My apologies for this.
You should use blinky_netcore_temp (nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpunet) and blinky_appcore.
Were you able to run these successfully and fetch the temperature data from one core to the other?
You are getting an error wrt. spi sources. Could you try adding "CONFIG_NRFX_SPIM1=y" to see if it compiles then?
You are also setting the overlay by aliasing it to itself. Try just keeping it as-is without the alias.
Kind regards,
Håkon

Good morning Hakon,
Were you able to run these successfully and fetch the temperature data from one core to the other?
Although I did report seeing the temperature values printed on the App Core side, I don't see them this morning. The App Core boots up and all I can see in SES Terminal Emulator is this message,
*** Booting Zephyr OS build v2.4.99-ncs1-rc1 ***
App Core
In fact, I remember now, I had the same problem yesterday at first then after I open Segger RTT Viewer suddenly the App Core application started printing the temperature values. Please answer the following questions about this example.
Q1/ Is this the expected behaviour?
Q2/ What is this line doing? It seems to kick start the communication between App and Net Cores.
uint32_t ret = ipm_send(ipm_tx_handle, 1, 0, NULL, 0);
Q3/ I expected to see both the message "TX ID <id>" and "RX ID <id>" but I don't, I only this "RX ID 0"
Q3/ Please explain the chronological sequence of events that is taking place between the App Core and the Net core.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards
Mohamed
Hi Hakon,
While waiting for your response to my previous reply where I asked you four questions I went back to my application (App Core) where I implemented the die temperature software based on your example. I am now unable to load the project in SES (File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project...). I am getting this error,
Cannot create project
create_nordic_project.py failed(1)
I am attaching a screen capture of the nRF Connect Options selected.
Note, I am selecting the board nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp for the App Core application. However, I've noticed in you very first response to my question you mentioned this
The temp peripheral is only accessible on the network core:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf5340/temp.html?cp=3_0_0_6_33
So we need to configure the board nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpunet, but since the network core is started from the app cpu, you first need to have something on the app core running with this config set:
Fullscreen1CONFIG_BOARD_ENABLE_CPUNET=yXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXCONFIG_BOARD_ENABLE_CPUNET=y
Must I include the above config line in my App Core project? Note, this line is not present in the project file prj.conf of your App Core example.
Another windge about DevZone, I cannot edit some of my responses.
Kind regards
Mohamed

Could you confirm if the nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay contains "temp"?
Yes, I confirm my overlay file nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay does contain the "temp", because your blinky example appcore overlay file also contains it. The only difference I called my overlay file *_cpuapp.overlay while you called yours *_cpunet.overlay. Why and what is the significance of the naming convention?
&temp {
compatible = "nordic,nrf-temp";
status = "okay";
};
The TEMP peripheral is only available on the network core.
But in the example you sent me, in the blinky_appcore project you have an overlay file called nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpunet.overlay and contains "temp" which suggests that board nrf5340pdk does have a temp component. In fact your example ran, read and printed temperature values.
Why is the appcore overlay file labelled "cpunet" when it is on the appcore?
Kind regards
Mohamed

the project will only pick up the overlay file if it matches the board you've selected.
You can have several other .overlay files, but they will not be picked up unless you either specify them explicitly or that they match the same board as you configure for.
Example: If you configure the project for board nrf52840dk_nrf52840, it will look for "nrf52840dk_nrf52840.overlay".

I should have deleted that file from that specific folder to avoid confusion, my apologies. That file was not included when you configured for nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp, as it does not match the current board you were selecting. If you look at the product specification, the application core does not have access to the temp peripheral.
Kind regards,
Håkon
Hi Hakon,
First, can you please get someone to look at why I cannot reply to your latest response because there is no "Reply" button to click on.
I should have deleted that file from that specific folder to avoid confusion, my apologies.
I think this is the root cause of my problems. 
That file was not included when you configured for nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp, as it does not match the current board you were selecting.
My overlay file is nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay and contains "temp" and my board is nrf5340pdk_nrf5340_cpuapp, so in my case my overlay file was included hence the error I am seeing.
So, the solution to the problem I am seeing is NOT to have "temp" in my overlay file in the _appcore project. I will delete any reference to "temp" in my overlay file I have in my *_appcore project and see if this solves the problem. I will update you shortly.
Kind regards
Mohamed
