6.10 Debug output
The nRF52 Preview Development Kit board supports programming and debugging external boards. To
debug an external board, connect to the Debug out connector (
P19
) with a 10 pin cable.
Figure 21: Debug output connector
When the external board is powered, the interface MCU will detect the supply voltage of the board and
program/debug the target chip on the external board instead of the on-board nRF52832.
Important:
The voltage supported by external debugging/programming is 3.0 V.
You can also use
P20
as a debug out connection to program shield mounted targets. For the Debug out
header (
P19
), the Interface MCU will detect the supply voltage on the mounted shield and program/debug
the shield target.
If the Interface MCU detects target power on both
P19
and
P20
, it will by default program/debug the
target connected to
P19
.
