NRF52 TODO

Initial work items

Minimum items needed to make sure hardware is good.

DONE select and install a bootloader (adafruit)
DONE get old radio driver working on NRF52
DONE basic test of BLE
DONE get a debug 'serial' console working via the ICE passthrough feater
Use the PMU driver
add a NEMA based GPS driver to test GPS
Use new radio driver - possibly start with https://os.mbed.com/teams/Semtech/code/SX126xLib/
Use UC1701 LCD driver. Still need to create at startup and probe on SPI
test the LEDs
test the buttons
make a new boarddef with a variant.h file. Fix pins in that file. In particular (at least): #define PIN_SPI_MISO (46) #define PIN_SPI_MOSI (45) #define PIN_SPI_SCK (47) #define PIN_WIRE_SDA (26) #define PIN_WIRE_SCL (27)

Secondary work items

Needed to be fully functional at least at the same level of the ESP32 boards. At this point users would probably want them.

use new LCD driver from screen.cpp. Still need to hook it to a subclass of (poorly named) OLEDDisplay, and override display() to stream bytes out to the screen.
get full BLE api working
we need to enable the external xtal for the sx1262 (on dio3)
figure out which regulator mode the sx1262 is operating in
turn on security for BLE, make pairing work
make power management/sleep work properly
make a settimeofday implementation
make a file system implementation (preferably one that can see the files the bootloader also sees)
make ble endpoints not require "start config", jsut have them start in config mode
measure power management and confirm battery life

Items to be 'feature complete'

use the new buttons in the UX
currently using soft device SD140, is that ideal?
turn on the watchdog timer, require servicing from key application threads
install a hardfault handler for null ptrs (if one isn't already installed)

Things to do 'someday'

Nice ideas worth considering...

make Lorro_BQ25703A read/write operations atomic, current version could let other threads sneak in (once we start using threads)
turn on DFU assistance in the appload using the nordic DFU helper lib call
make the segger logbuffer larger, move it to RAM that is preserved across reboots and support reading it out at runtime (to allow full log messages to be included in crash reports). Share this code with ESP32
convert hardfaults/panics/asserts/wd exceptions into fault codes sent to phone

must install adafruit bootloader first!
https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-the-nrf52/nrf52840-bootloader
see link above and turn off jlink filesystem if we see unreliable serial comms
over USBCDC

adafruit bootloader install commands (from their readme)
kevinh@kevin-server:~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoadafruitnrf52/bootloader$
nrfjprog -e -f nrf52 Erasing user available code and UICR flash areas. Applying
