Proteus-III-EV
Overview
The Proteus-III-EV (evaluation board) hardware provides support for the Proteus-III radio module that uses the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 ARM Cortex-M4F CPU and the following devices:
ADC
CLOCK
FLASH
GPIO
I2C
MPU
NVIC
PWM
RADIO (Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4)
RTC
Segger RTT (RTT Console)
SPI
UART
WDT
More information about the radio module can be found the Würth Elektronik web page https://www.we-online.com/katalog/de/PROTEUS-III .
Hardware
Proteus-III radio module provides only the internal oscillators. The frequency of the slow clock is 32.768 kHz. The frequency of the main clock is 32 MHz.

Programming and Debugging
Applications for the we_proteus3ev/nrf52840 board configuration can be
built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See
Building an Application and Run an Application for more details on
building and running.
Flashing
Follow the instructions in the Nordic nRF5x Segger J-Link page to install and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be found in Flashing. Then build and flash applications as usual (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).
Here is an example for the Hello World application.
First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.
$ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200
Replace <tty_device> with the port where the board Proteus-III-EV
can be found. For example, under Linux, /dev/ttyACM0.
Then build and flash the application in the usual way.
