Building and programming with nRF54L15 DK | ||
######################################### | ||
|
||
This guide provides instructions on how to build and program the nRF54L15 development kit. | ||
Whether you are working with single or multi-image builds, the following sections will guide you through the necessary steps. | ||
|
||
Depending on the sample, you must program only the application core or both the VPR and the application core. | ||
Additionally, the process will differ based on whether you are working with a single-image or multi-image build. | ||
|
||
Using the command line | ||
====================== | ||
|
||
To build samples supporting the nRF54L15 DK from the command line, use :ref:`west <zephyr:west>`. | ||
For programming you can choose either west, incorporating nrfjprog that from the `nRF Command Line Tools`_, or :ref:`nRF Util <toolchain_management_tools>`. | ||
|
||
.. tabs:: | ||
|
||
.. group-tab:: Separate images | ||
|
||
To build and program the application sample and the VPR sample as separate images, follow the instructions in :ref:`programming_cmd` for each of the samples. | ||
|
||
See the following instructions for programming the images separately: | ||
|
||
.. tabs:: | ||
|
||
.. group-tab:: west | ||
|
||
1. |open_terminal_window_with_environment| | ||
#. Run the following command to erase the flash memory of the VPR core and program the VPR sample: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: console | ||
west flash --erase | ||
#. Navigate to the build folder of the application sample and run the same command to erase the flash memory of the application core and program the application sample: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: console | ||
west flash --erase | ||
.. group-tab:: nRF Util | ||
|
||
1. |open_terminal_window_with_environment| | ||
#. Run the following command to erase the flash memory of the VPR core and program the VPR sample: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: console | ||
nrfutil device program --firmware zephyr.hex --options chip_erase_mode=ERASE_ALL --core Network | ||
.. note:: | ||
If you cannot locate the build folder of the VPR sample, look for a folder with one of these names inside the build folder of the application sample: | ||
|
||
* :file:`rpc_host` | ||
* :file:`hci_rpsmg` | ||
* :file:`802154_rpmsg` | ||
* :file:`multiprotocol_rpmsg` | ||
|
||
#. Navigate to the build folder of the application sample and run the following command to erase the flash memory of the application core and program the application sample: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: console | ||
nrfutil device program --firmware zephyr.hex --options chip_erase_mode=ERASE_ALL | ||
.. note:: | ||
The application build folder will be in a sub-directory which is the name of the folder of the application | ||
|
||
#. Reset the development kit: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: console | ||
nrfutil device reset --reset-kind=RESET_PIN | ||
See :ref:`readback_protection_error` if you encounter an error. | ||
|
||
.. group-tab:: Sysbuild | ||
|
||
To build and program a sysbuild HEX file, follow the instructions in :ref:`programming_cmd` for the application core sample. | ||
|
||
To program the multi-image HEX file, you can use west or nRF Util. | ||
|
||
.. tabs:: | ||
|
||
.. group-tab:: west | ||
|
||
Enter the following command to program multi-image builds for different cores: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: console | ||
west flash | ||
.. note:: | ||
The minimum supported version of nrfjprog for multi-image builds for different cores is 10.21.0. | ||
|
||
.. group-tab:: nRF Util | ||
|
||
Enter the following commands to program multiple image builds for different cores: | ||
|
||
.. Commands TBD | ||
.. code-block:: console | ||
nrfutil device program --firmware merged_CPUNET.hex --options verify=VERIFY_READ,chip_erase_mode=ERASE_CTRL_AP | ||
nrfutil device program --firmware merged.hex --options verify=VERIFY_READ,chip_erase_mode=ERASE_CTRL_AP | ||
.. note:: | ||
The ``--verify`` command confirms that the writing operation has succeeded. |

Working with the FLPR core | ||
########################## | ||
|
||
The nRF54L15 SoC has a dedicated RISC-V CPU (VPR), a fast lightweight peripheral processor (FLPR) designed for software-defined peripherals (SDP). | ||
This core currently supports the following peripherals: | ||
|
||
* GPIO | ||
* GPIOTE | ||
* GRTC | ||
* TWIM | ||
* UARTE | ||
* VPR | ||
|
||
Running the FLPR core | ||
********************* | ||
|
||
VPR is optimized for implementing SDP. | ||
The software-defined peripheral running on VPR does not start on its own, but must be started by the application core processor. | ||
|
||
.. To be outlined how | ||
Memory allocation | ||
***************** | ||
|
||
If a SDP is active on a VPR CPU, it can lead to increased latency when accessing ``RAM_01``. | ||
Because of this, when SDP is enabled in a project, you should use ``RAM_01`` to store only the VPR code, data, and other non-time-sensitive information. | ||
Conversely, you should use ``RAM_00`` to store data with strict access time requirements such as DMA buffers, and data used in low-latency ISRs. |
