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
