How do I enable p0.21 to use the reset button..?

Hello


I want to test the nrf52DK board by connecting it to the battery. However, the reset button does not work when only the battery is connected.

To activate the reset button, I need to activate p0.21 but I don't know what to do with it...

I don't know much about circuits...
Can you tell me in detail how to activate the reset button?

Thank you.

  • Hello,

    All the SDK examples are supporting reset pin(P0.21) by default.

  • Hello, Eugene.
    There is no problem using reset button when connecting board via USB However, if you remove the USB and operate it with a coin battery, the reset button will not be available.
    Can you tell me why and how to solve this?

    Thank you.

  • Are you working on nRF52840-DK or your own custom board?

  •  I am using the nRF52DK board, and later I will use the system reset on the nrf52832 custom board.

    I modified the pin a little at pca10040.h.
    Is it related to this?

  • Hi, 

    The nRF52 DK (with nRF52832) does not have the reset button connected to the reset pin (P0.21) on the nRF. You can short SB17 to get the reset pin out on a pin header to make it easy to hook up a button or a jumper wire, though.
