Configuration

Please use laird_pinnacle_100_dvk ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:laird_pinnacle_100_dvk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = laird_pinnacle_100_dvk

You can override default Laird Connectivity Pinnacle 100 DVK settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest laird_pinnacle_100_dvk.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:laird_pinnacle_100_dvk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = laird_pinnacle_100_dvk

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = nrf52840

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 64000000L

Uploading

Laird Connectivity Pinnacle 100 DVK supports the following uploading protocols:

  • blackmagic

  • cmsis-dap

  • jlink

  • mbed

  • nrfjprog

  • stlink

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:laird_pinnacle_100_dvk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = laird_pinnacle_100_dvk

upload_protocol = jlink

Debugging

Debugging - “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).
