GPIOs and Pin Assignment and Functions of DA14531 DK PRO All signals of the DA14531 PRO-DBs are provided to DA14531 PRO-MB. The signal names are specific for the PRO-MB and do not have the same names as the signals of the PRO-DBs. The reason is that the PRO-MB can be used for both DA14531 SoC and DA1458x family of SoCs, whereas DA14531 SoC has fewer pins than DA1458x SoCs.

DA14531 Development Kit Pro Hardware User Manual Current Measurements Current drawn from the DA14531 PRO-DB can be measured with a good accuracy by using the current sensing circuit and the power profiler of Dialog’s SmartSnippets Toolbox. In this section, the current measurement circuit as well as the setup and the measurements of the power profiler are described, and the measurement accuracy is presented.
NOTE Please notice that the value in the Voltage box is 3 V. This is a typical value used across the industry for comparing BLE power measurements. Therefore, the power configuration on DA14531 PRO-MB must be updated accordingly (J5: 2-4).
DA14531 Development Kit Pro Hardware User Manual Accuracy of Current Measurement Circuit The measuring range of the current measurement circuit in DA14531 PRO-MB is 1 μΑ to 240 mA. The circuit accuracy is measured by applying a constant current, monitoring the output with the SmartSnippets Toolbox, and compare the outcome.
Figure 54: mikroBUS Wrong Label 4-Wire UART Special Considerations When the 4-wire UART functionality is used with DA14531 Pro-DB and the reset function is enabled on P0_0, the chip will not boot and still remain in the reset state.

As shown in Figure 55, the UCTS signal is shorted to P0_0 when a DA14531 PRO-DB is used. This has been done to maintain compatibility with DA14585 daughterboards. The UCTS signal is an input to the DA14531 and is driven high from the motherboard side (MB_RTS). If P0_0 is configured as reset (active high), the motherboard will keep the DA14531 in reset indefinitely and prevent it from booting (the Booter defaults this pin to the reset function between boot steps).
