GPIO Electrical Specification:
The module has up to 32 GPIOs available. All GPIOs can be mapped to a module,
facilitating design and enabling changes after the hardware has been configured. Each
GPIO is configurable with the following features:
Input/output direction
Output drive strength
Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors
Wake-up from high or low level triggers on all pins
Trigger interrupt on all pins
All pins can be used by the PPI task/event system; the maximum number of
pins that can be interfaced through the PPI at the same time is limited by the
number of GPIOTE channels
All pins can be individually configured to carry serial interface or quadrature
demodulator signals
HW debug and flash programming of Module :
The module support the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers
flexible and powerful mechanism for non-intrusive debugging of program code.
Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace capture of code execution flow are
part of this support.
Pin Flash Program interface
SWDIO Debug and flash programming I/O
SWCLK Debug and flash programming I/O
