nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle support #431

Open mischief opened 3 years ago

mischief commented 3 years ago

hi, i have one of these: https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle/

unfortunately programming it with nordic's SDK is a real pain and i'm not a fan.

would it be possible to support this board in this repo? if so, how can that be done? i am willing to try changes myself if given pointers or donate a board.

You need to define the board in boards.txt file and define a variant in variants/_variant_name_/ folder (see other variants). Variants are pretty simple, you just define a pin mapping (nRF52840 pin numbers to arduino pin numbers) p2 -> D0, p3 -> D1, etc. And some aliases for common pins (leds, buttons). And that's pretty much it.
