zig-nrf-demo

Demonstrate Zig code on the nRF51/nRF52/nRF53 microcontrollers

NOTE: This project is quite old, it may have significant issues with newer versions of Zig

Supported Boards

• PCA10040 - nRF52832 DK
• PCA10056 - nrf52840 DK
• PCA10095 - nrf5340 DK
• micro_bit - micro:bit
• micro_bit_v2 - micro:bit v2

Goals

• (✓) Build binary with just Zig, startup assembly and link scripts
• (✓) Use Zig build system
• (✓) Import/use C header files from MDK
• (✓) Map registers to structs with bit fields
• (✓) Blink LEDs
• (✓) Print over UART
• (✓) Use std.fmt with UART
• (✓) Handle interrupts
• (✓) Implement delay functions (inline assembly)
• (✓) Use timers
• (✓) Show usecase for async/await
• (X) Read buttons
• (X) Show a good use-case for compile-time/generics
• (X) Read micro:bit accelerometer/compass over I2C
• (X) Send/receive packets over radio
• (X) Stack trace
