Insights from the engineers behind PlatformIO
The essence of any protocol lies in the transmission of data. In the world of digital electronics, data is represented in binary form, that is, as sequences of zeros and ones. These two symbols form the foundation for storing, processing, and transmitting all information in digital systems, with protocols serving as the key tools for exchanging these binary data, providing a structured and reliable method of transferring them between devices.
The ARM Debug Access Port (DAP) is a crucial component of the ARM debugging architecture that allows developers to gain access to and debug embedded systems running on ARM-based processors. The DAP provides a standardized interface for accessing and controlling various debug-related features, including debugging and programming interfaces, trace data, and system registers.
In this post, we will create a simple BLE beacon that broadcasts its name as the payload. We will use the Zephyr RTOS on a custom board based on the Nordic nRF52833 SoC. A JLink debug probe will be used for uploading and debugging our application. Table of Contents
