Hardware description
4.10 Solder bridge and test point overview
The nRF52 DK has a range of solder bridges for enabling or disabling functionality on the DK. It also has
test points available for use. Changes to these are not needed for normal use of the DK.
The following table is a complete overview of the solder bridges on the nRF52 DK.
