We have documentation on Custom Boards.

In addition, see this guide on Using a custom board with nRF Connect SDK.

Is this what you were looking for?

Hi Mr. Hellesvik,

Is there any update guide for nrf Connect SDK for development on custom board with nrf52805?

This Develop for custom board with a nRF52805 module

is for nrf SDK 17.0.

I found that, although I can program bluetooth (I managed with success to use it as a bouetooth beacon), I face difficulties with digital pins.

I followed the examples in the tutorial, but I cannot read or write the digital pins (like P0.5, P0.20).

I used as reference devicetree from nrf52DK_52805.

Forget the last message, I managed out from nrfx_error.h that this is an address NACK, i.e. the slave address is not acknowledged.

Just a question.

I implemented logging and I saw the following error message:

[00:00:05.004,547] <err> i2c_nrfx_twi: Error 0x0BAE0001 occurred for message 0

How can I interpret this error?

It is helpful to know if the nRF chip sends data or just tries.

Try to connect a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to the I2C lines and see if you can detect signals when sending data

Dear Mr. Hellesvik,

I followed your suggestion and studied the tutorial.

Unfortunately, I can't still communicate with ADS7142,

In my board, SDA is on P0.16 and SCL on P0.12.

I added in the overlay file the following:

&pinctrl {
	i2c0_default: i2c0_default {
		group1 {
			psels = <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SDA, 0, 16)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SCL, 0, 12)>;
		};
	};

	i2c0_sleep: i2c0_sleep {
		group1 {
			psels = <NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SDA, 0, 16)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(TWIM_SCL, 0, 12)>;
			low-power-enable;
		};
	};

	spi0_default: spi0_default {
		group1 {
			psels = <NRF_PSEL(SPIM_SCK, 0, 29)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(SPIM_MOSI, 0, 31)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(SPIM_MISO, 0, 30)>;
		};
	};
};
&i2c0 {
    pinctrl-0 = <&i2c0_default>;
    pinctrl-1 = <&i2c0_sleep>;
    pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
    ads7142: ads7142@18{
        status = "okay";
        compatible = "i2c-device";
        reg = < 0x18 >;
        label = "ADS7142";
    };
 };

Then I followed the tutorial and have the following in the main.c:

#define ADS7142_CHANNEL_CFG 0x24
#define ADS7142_OPMODE_CFG 0x1C

#define ADS7142_NODE DT_NODELABEL(ads7142)
...
void main(void){
    static  struct i2c_dt_spec dev_i2c = I2C_DT_SPEC_GET(ADS7142_NODE);
    uint8_t i2c_write_reg2[3]={0b00001000,ADS7142_CHANNEL_CFG,0x00};
    ...
    if (!device_is_ready(dev_i2c.bus)) {
		printk("I2C bus %s is not ready!\n\r",dev_i2c.bus->name);
		return;
	}
	...
	ret =i2c_write_dt(&dev_i2c,i2c_write_reg2, sizeof(i2c_write_reg2));
	...
	
	}

Off course I had enabled I2C in prj.conf, but I cannot manage to communicate properly.

TI manual for ADS7142 specifies the following sequence of bytes to write to a register:

I supposed that the first byte is automatically generated by the i2c_write_dt, but I had also tried to send all 4 bytes, again with no success.

Any idea?

We actually have two different SDK-s, one new and one old. See the nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement for more information on this.

For nRF Connect SDK, I recommend that you have a look at https://academy.nordicsemi.com/, where we have tutorials on getting started and some protocols, such as I2C.
