Configurations
Each configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and can be selected as follow:
tools/configure.sh thingy53:<subdir>
Where <subdir> is one of the following:
composite_cpuapp
NuttShell configuration with support for CDC/ACM with RNDIS composite driver.
nsh_cpuapp
Basic NuttShell configuration for the application core (console enabled in UART0, exposed via J-Link VCOM0, at 115200 bps).
nsh_cpunet
Basic NuttShell configuration for the network core (console enabled in UART0, exposed via J-Link VCOM1, at 115200 bps).
rpmsghci_nimble_cpuapp
This configuration enables RPMSG Bluetooth HCI client on the application core and uses nimBLE for the host-layer
rpmsghci_sdc_cpunet
This configuration enables RPMSG Bluetooth HCI server on the network core which can be accessed using RPMSG Bluetooth HCI client on the application core.
Flash & Debug
Both flashing and debuing is possible only with an external debug probe.
