This web page creates
customized commands for the Nordic nRFjprog program.
Used with the Ruuvi Development Shield
will modify the
CUSTOMER
Register area of the
UICR
for Ruuvi firmware 2.6.0.
This area is dedicated by Nordic as an area in NonVoltial Memory for
User Information Configuration. It begins at
memory location x'10001080' and is 32 words long. It is preserved across power cycles and is not erased with the
nrfjprog --program file.hex --sectorerase
option.
It is erased with the --sectoranduicrerase , --chiperase --eraseall , --recover and
eraseuicr
options.
Version 2.6.0 includes a check to insure that the UICR
area matches the version of the code which sets the tunable parameters.
You can copy the
nrfutil memwr
commands generated in the window
and paste them into a command prompt wo make the changes.
Included is a memrd
(memory rerad) command to display the UICR
after it is written.
Using this technique it is possible to make changes easily without any programming skills and without installing the entire tool chain necessary to compile and create the firmware image. You can tweak the parameters repeatedly and test them see what the best values for each Ruuvi Sensor.
If you have the Segger j-link program you can view the values used from the log messages reported via JLinkRTTClient (or telnet localhost 19021).
Future versions of this page will create a Device Firmware Update package so you can
change the tunables Over The Air using the Nordic nRFconnect app
or nRF Toolbox for IOS,
without the need for the Dev kits or the nRFutils.
