Tip

When using this board with RIOT, set the BOARD variable to thingy52 in your Makefile. If you follow the standard RIOT project structure, your Makefile should look like this:

./Makefile

# name of your application
APPLICATION = hello-world

# Change this to your board if you want to build for a different board
BOARD ?= thingy52

# This has to be the absolute path to the RIOT base directory:
RIOTBASE ?= $(CURDIR)/RIOT

include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include

Support for the Nordic Thingy:52 board

Overview

The Nordic Thingy:52 is a battery powered platform with Bluetooth and NFC (only tag emulation, no reader support) radio, a wide range of sensors and some output capabilities.

Components:

• nRF52832 main controller (providing Bluetooth and NFC tag emulation)
• an LIS2DH12 low-power three-axis linear accelerometer
• an MPU-9250 nine-axis motion sensor
• an LPS22HB air pressure and temperature sensor
• an HTS221 air temperature and humidity sensor
• a BH1745NUC color sensor
• a CCS811 gas sensor
• an MP34DB02 digital microphone
• a speaker
• two RGB LED channels: one LED pair in the light well, and one RGB LED to assist the light sensor
• a button
• an XC6804A4E1 battery charge controller (providing charge error indication)
• USB power supply and battery voltage sensing
• four DMN3190LDW MOSFETs

Note that at the moment, only the button and a single UART (at P6) are supported in RIOT.

Flash the board

The board can be flashed using an external programmer on its 10-pin debug port P9.

See the Flashing section in boards_common_nrf52.

Its over-the-air bootloading mechanism is currently not supported in RIOT.
