* LED2 (green) = P0.14
* LED3 (green) = P0.15
* LED4 (green) = P0.16

Push buttons
------------

* BUTTON1 = SW1 = P0.11
* BUTTON2 = SW2 = P0.12
* BUTTON3 = SW3 = P0.24
* BUTTON4 = SW4 = P0.25
* BOOT = SW5 = boot/reset

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

Applications for the ``nrf52833dk_nrf52833`` board configuration can be
built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application`
and :ref:`application_run` for more details); however, the standard
debugging targets are not currently available.

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:

* :ref:`blinky-sample`
* :ref:`button-sample`

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/arm/nrf52833dk_nrf52833/nrf52833dk_nrf52833.dts`.

Using UART1
***********

The following approach can be used when an application needs to use
more than one UART for connecting peripheral devices:

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

   .. code-block:: console

      $ cat nrf52833dk_nrf52833.overlay
      &uart1 {
        compatible = "nordic,nrf-uarte";
        current-speed = <115200>;
        status = "okay";
        tx-pin = <14>;
        rx-pin = <16>;
      };

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

2. Use the UART1 as ``device_get_binding(DT_LABEL(DT_NODELABEL(uart1)))``

Overlay file naming
===================

The file has to be named ``<board>.overlay`` and placed in the app main directory to be
picked up automatically by the build system.

Selecting the pins
==================
To select the pin numbers for tx-pin and rx-pin:

.. code-block:: console

   tx-pin = <pin_no>

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.

Translate the 'Pin' into number for devicetree by using the following formula::

   pin_no = b*32 + a

where ``a`` and ``b`` are from the Pin value in the table (Pb.a).
For example, for P0.1, ``pin_no = 1`` and for P1.0, ``pin_no = 32``.
