Arduino Nicla Sense ME¶

Hardware¶

Platform Nordic nRF52: The nRF52 Series are built for speed to carry out increasingly complex tasks in the shortest possible time and return to sleep, conserving precious battery power. They have a Cortex-M4F processor which makes them quite capable Bluetooth Smart SoCs.

Configuration¶

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

[env:nicla_sense_me]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nicla_sense_me

You can override default Arduino Nicla Sense ME settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest nicla_sense_me.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:nicla_sense_me]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nicla_sense_me

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = nrf52832

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 64000000L

Uploading¶

Arduino Nicla Sense ME supports the following uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• cmsis-dap

• jlink

• nrfjprog

• nrfutil

• sam-ba

Default protocol is cmsis-dap

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:nicla_sense_me]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nicla_sense_me

upload_protocol = cmsis-dap

Debugging¶

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

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

Arduino Nicla Sense ME has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
