Overview
********
Zephyr applications use the nrf51_pca10028 board configuration to run on the
nRF51 Development Kit (PCA10028) hardware. It provides support for the Nordic Semiconductor
nRF51822 ARM Cortex-M0 CPU and the following devices:
* :abbr:`ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)`
* CLOCK
* FLASH
* :abbr:`GPIO (General Purpose Input Output)`
* :abbr:`I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)`
* :abbr:`NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)`
* :abbr:`PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)`
* RADIO (Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4)
* :abbr:`RTC (nRF RTC System Clock)`
* Segger RTT (RTT Console)
* :abbr:`SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)`
* :abbr:`UART (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter)`
* :abbr:`WDT (Watchdog Timer)`

More information about the board can be found at the
`nRF51 DK website`_. The `Nordic Semiconductor Infocenter`_
contains the processor's information and the datasheet.
Hardware
********
nRF51 DK has two external oscillators. The frequency of
the slow clock is 32.768 kHz. The frequency of the main clock
is 16 MHz.

Programming and Debugging
*************************
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 nRF51 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: nrf51_pca10028
: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 nRF51 DK
********************************************
There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on
the board are working properly with Zephyr:
.. code-block:: console
samples/basic/blinky
samples/basic/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 :file:`boards/arm/nrf51_pca10028/board.h`.
