Page 7: Running A First Test
Running a first test Before you start developing, program and run a precompiled application on your development board to ensure that the board functions as expected and the communication between your computer and your development board works. Before you begin, download the Heart Rate Monitor HRM) demo application from nRF5340 PDK Downloads and extract it into a folder of your choice. - Page 8 Running a first test e) nrfjprog -f NRF53 --program peripheral_hr.hex f) nrfjprog --pinreset 5. Download and install the Nordic nRF Toolbox app from Google Play or App Store. 6. Open nRF Toolbox. Note: Enable Bluetooth if prompted. 7. Tap HRM. 8.

Page 9: Setting Up Your Toolchain
Setting up your toolchain Before you can start developing, you must install the required software. This software includes tools to connect to your development board, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing your application, and the nRF Connect SDK that provides libraries and example applications. The following software is required: •... -
Page 10: Programming An Application
Programming an application After setting up the required toolchain, you are ready to compile your application and program (or "flash") it to your development board. Use the Nordic Edition of the SEGGER Embedded Studio IDE to build and program an nRF Connect SDK sample. -
Page 11: Communicating With The Board
Communicating with the board Unless you programmed a very simple application, you probably want to connect to the board from your computer to display logging information or send input. You can use Universal Asynchronous Receiver/ Transmitter (UART) for communicating with the board. Connecting via UART is quick and power-efficient, but it requires dedicated use of the UART peripheral for logging. - Page 12 Communicating with the board 4. Select the correct COM port to connect to the board. To find the correct port, follow these steps: a) Go to the start menu in Windows and type devmgmt.msc to open the Device Manager. b) Scroll down and expand Ports (COM & LPT). c) Find the port named JLink CDC UART Port and note down the number in parentheses.

Page 13: Testing The Application
Testing the application The next step after compiling and programming your application is to test it. Nordic Semiconductor provides its own testing tool, nRF Connect, which is available both for mobile and for desktop. 8.1 Testing with a mobile device If you have a mobile device that supports Bluetooth Low Energy, download the nRF Connect app from Google Play or App Store to test your application. -
Page 14: Testing With A Computer
Testing the application The text is sent through the PDK to your device, which will display it in the nRF Connect log: 8.2 Testing with a computer If you have another nRF5340 PDK, you can test your application with nRF Connect for Desktop. nRF Connect for Desktop is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. - Page 15 Testing the application 9. Select the UART RX characteristic value. 10.Write 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 (the hexadecimal value for the string "0123456789") and click write. The text "0123456789" is displayed in the terminal that is connected to the board via UART. 11.Enter any text, for example, Hello, in the terminal.

Page 16: Debugging
Debugging To actually see what is happening on the development board while the application is running, you must set up a J-Link debugging session. 1. Open your project in SES. 2. Select Debug > Go. Alternatively, press F5. The debugging interface looks like this: By default, the application will break in main. -
