Connectors for programming external boards

nRF52833 DK Hardware

The tables describe pinouts of connectors P19 and P20. The voltage on the external board must match that of the Development Kit (DK).

Table 1. Pinout of connector P19 for programming external targets
Pin number Signal Description
1 EXT_VTG Voltage supply from the external target, used as a select pin for the interface MCU to enable this port
2 EXT_SWDIO Serial Wire Debug (SWD) data line
3 GND Ground
4 EXT_SWDCLK SWD clock line
5 GND Ground
6 EXT_SWO The Serial Wire Output (SWO) line is not needed for programming and debugging over SWD
7 N.C. Not used
8 N.C. Not used
9 EXT_GND_DETECT Ground detect
10 EXT_RESET Reset line
