NRF52832-BME280-RADIO

Features

• Register-level, non-blocking peripheral drivers (TWI, RADIO, SAADC, RTC, TEMP)
• Fully compensated BME280 readings using int64 arithmetic
• SAADC VDD monitoring — 12-bit, 64x oversampling, offset calibration
• nRF52 on-chip die temperature measurement
• 60-second periodic transmission interval (RTC2-driven)
• System ON idle with __WFE() sleep between cycles; HFCLK gated off
• Optional UART debug output (-DUSE_UART, 9600 baud, P0.06)
• Errata workarounds applied: PAN_028 #29, #30, #31

Radio Protocol — Packet Format

10-byte payload transmitted as a single RADIO packet (2Mbit mode, 16-bit CRC):

Offset	Size	Field	Description
0	1	Length	Payload length, fixed to 10
1	1	Seq ID	Rolling counter, bit 0 always set
2	3	Pressure	Compensated pressure, Pa (24-bit)
5	1	Die Temp	nRF52 junction temperature, °C ÷ 4
6	2	Temp	BME280 temperature, 0.01 °C
8	2	Humidity	BME280 relative humidity, 0.1 %RH
10	2	Voltage	VDD battery, 3600 / 4095 mV per LSB

Address field: base 0xE7E7E7E7, prefix 0xE7 (full address 0xE7E7E7E7E7).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• ARM GCC toolchain (arm-none-eabi-gcc) >= 9-2020-q2-update
• GNU Make
• (Optional) nRF5x command-line tools for flashing: nrfjprog

Build & Flash

$ make
$ make jflash                # nRF52-DK / J-Link
$ make stflash               # ST-LINK (ST-LINK_CLI.exe)

UART Debug

Define USE_UART at build time to enable formatted output on P0.06 (9600 baud):

$ make CFLAGS="-DUSE_UART"
