* LED3 (green) = P0.15
* LED4 (green) = P0.16

Programming and Debugging
*************************

Applications for the ``nrf52833dk/nrf52833`` board configuration can be built,
flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details on building and running.

Flashing
========

Follow the instructions in the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install
and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be
found in :ref:`nordic_segger_flashing`. Then build and flash
applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.

.. code-block:: console

   $ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200

Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the port where the board nRF52 DK
can be found. For example, under Linux, :code:`/dev/ttyACM0`.

Then build and flash the application in the usual way.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: nrf52833dk/nrf52833
   :goals: build flash

Debugging
=========

Refer to the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to learn about debugging Nordic boards with a
Segger IC.


Testing the LEDs and buttons in the nRF52833 DK
***********************************************

There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on
the board are working properly with Zephyr:

* :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky`
* :zephyr:code-sample:`button`

You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running correctly on
your board. The button and LED definitions can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/nordic/nrf52833dk/nrf52833dk_nrf52833.dts`.

Changing UART1 pins
*******************

The following approach can be used when an application needs to use another set
of pins for UART1:

1. Add devicetree overlay file to the main directory of your application:

   .. code-block:: devicetree

      &pinctrl {
         uart1_default_alt: uart1_default_alt {
            group1 {
               psels = <NRF_PSEL(UART_TX, 0, 14)>,
                       <NRF_PSEL(UART_RX, 0, 16)>;
            };
         };
         /* required if CONFIG_PM_DEVICE=y */
         uart1_sleep_alt: uart1_sleep_alt {
            group1 {
               psels = <NRF_PSEL(UART_TX, 0, 14)>,
                       <NRF_PSEL(UART_RX, 0, 16)>;
               low-power-enable;
            };
         };
      };

      &uart1 {
        pinctrl-0 = <&uart1_default_alt>;
        /* if sleep state is not used, use /delete-property/ pinctrl-1; and
         * skip the "sleep" entry.
         */
        pinctrl-1 = <&uart1_sleep_alt>;
        pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
      };

   In the overlay file above, pin P0.16 is used for RX and P0.14 is used for TX

See :ref:`set-devicetree-overlays` for further details.

Selecting the pins
==================

Pins can be configured in the board pinctrl file. To see the available mappings,
open the `nRF52833 Product Specification`_, chapter 7 'Hardware and Layout'.
In the table 7.1.1 'aQFN73 ball assignments' select the pins marked
'General purpose I/O'.  Note that pins marked as 'low frequency I/O only' can only be used
in under-10KHz applications. They are not suitable for 115200 speed of UART.

Overview
********

The ``nrf52833dk/nrf52820`` board is a modified version of the
:ref:`nrf52833dk_nrf52833` that enforces the limitations imposed by the nRF52820
IC, which is a variant of the original nRF52833. Since Nordic does not offer a
development kit for the nRF52820 you can use this board to develop for this IC
while using the nRF52833 Development Kit (PCA10100).

See :ref:`nrf52833dk_nrf52833` for more information about the development board
and `nRF52820 website`_ for the official reference on the IC itself.
