Hardware description
8.7 32.768 kHz crystal
The nRF52833 SoC can use an optional 32.768 kHz crystal (X2) for higher accuracy and lower average
power consumption.
On the nRF52833 DK, P0.00 and P0.01 are used for the 32.768 kHz crystal by default and are not available
as GPIO on the connectors.
Note: When using ANT/ANT+, the 32.768 kHz crystal (X2) is required for correct operation.
If P0.00 and P0.01 are needed as normal I/Os, the 32.768 kHz crystal can be disconnected and the
GPIO routed to the connectors. Cut the shorting track on SB1 and SB2, and solder SB3 and SB4. See the
following figure for reference.

8.8 Debug input and trace
The Debug in connector (P18) makes it possible to connect external debuggers for debugging when the
interface MCU USB cable is not connected or the DK is in nRF only mode.
