.. zephyr:board:: octopus_som

Overview

Octopus SoM is a System on Module (SoM) built around the nRF9160 SiP offering NB-IoT and LTE-M connectivity, GPS and accelerometer. It supports on board eSIM and external nano SIM connector. It's purpose is to provide flexible hardware platform for IoT applications.

nRF9160 SiP contains ARM Cortex-M33 application processor and the following devices:

:abbr:ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)
CLOCK
FLASH
:abbr:GPIO (General Purpose Input Output)
:abbr:I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
:abbr:MPU (Memory Protection Unit)
:abbr:NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)
:abbr:PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
:abbr:RTC (nRF RTC System Clock)
Segger RTT (RTT Console)
:abbr:SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
:abbr:UARTE (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter with EasyDMA)
:abbr:WDT (Watchdog Timer)
:abbr:IDAU (Implementation Defined Attribution Unit)

More information about the board can be found at the Octopus SoM Product Page_ and in the Octopus SoM Documentation_.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Norik Octopus SoM can be programmed and debugged using the exposed SWD pins.

Building an application

In most case you'll need to use octopus_som/nrf9160/ns board target for building examples. Some examples don't require non secure mode and can be built with octopus_som/nrf9160 board target.

Flashing

Refer to the instruction in the :ref:nordic_segger page to install and configure all the necessary software.

Use the :zephyr:code-sample:blinky sample to test if Zephyr is running correctly on your board.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky :board: octopus_som/nrf9160 :goals: build flash

Debugging

Refer to the instruction in the :ref:nordic_segger page for information on debugging.
