CONFIG_BOARD_ENABLE_CPUNET¶

Enable nRF53 Network MCU

Type: bool

Help¶

This option enables releasing the Network 'force off' signal, which
as a consequence will power up the Network MCU during system boot.
Additionally, the option allocates GPIO pins that will be used by UARTE
of the Network MCU.
Note: GPIO pin allocation can only be configured by the secure Application
MCU firmware, so when this option is used with the non-secure version of
the board, the application needs to take into consideration, that the
secure firmware image must already have configured GPIO allocation for the
Network MCU.
