Damien George 48e0986666 nrf/boards: Automatically configure MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_PWM.
This commit makes it so that MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_PWM is enabled if at least
one of MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_HW_PWM and/or MICROPY_PY_MACHINE_SOFT_PWM are
enabled.  This simplifies the configuration for boards, and fixes DVK_BL652
which enabled PWM without selecting software or hardware implementations.

With this change, DVK_BL652 and EVK_NINA_B1 now enable (hardware) PWM.

nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle

The nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle is a small, low-cost development board in a USB dongle form-factor powered by an nRF52840 with 1MB flash and 256KB RAM.

This device is pre-installed with Open Bootloader, allowing DFU upgrades over USB using Nordic nRF Connect or nrfutil. To support Open Bootloader, the flash and memory layout must be adjusted slightly (details here) from the typical nRF build; this board definition ensure the appropriate build configuration is used for MicroPython.

Pinout

The pinout diagram provides an overview of the available pins and their capabilities. All pins are available in MicroPython, using the pin numbers labelled in the diagram (excluding the leading port number, P0).

The three LEDs are available either through the usual Pin mechanism - pins 22-24 - or by board.LED(n) where n can be 1, 2 or 3.

Build instructions

Follow the standard nRF Port build instructions; but use nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle as the value for BOARD:

make BOARD=nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle

The build artifacts will be created in build-nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle. Once built, the target can be deployed to the device as described in nRFUtil targets.

An alternative way to deploy to the device, is to open firmware.hex using nRF Connect and select Write. Detailed instructions can be found on the developer wiki.
