Configuration

Please use stct_nrf52_minidev ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:stct_nrf52_minidev]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = stct_nrf52_minidev

You can override default Taida Century nRF52 mini board settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest stct_nrf52_minidev.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:stct_nrf52_minidev]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = stct_nrf52_minidev

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = nrf52832

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 64000000L

Uploading

Taida Century nRF52 mini board supports the next uploading protocols:

  • jlink

  • nrfjprog

  • stlink

  • blackmagic

Default protocol is jlink

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:stct_nrf52_minidev]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = stct_nrf52_minidev

upload_protocol = jlink

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Taida Century nRF52 mini board does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
