Description
***********
.. code-block:: none
The nRF pin controller is a singleton node responsible for controlling
pin function selection and pin properties. For example, you can use this
node to route UART0 RX to pin P0.1 and enable the pull-up resistor on the
pin.
The node has the 'pinctrl' node label set in your SoC's devicetree,
so you can modify it like this:
&pinctrl {
/* your modifications go here */
};
All device pin configurations should be placed in child nodes of the
'pinctrl' node, as shown in this example:
/* You can put this in places like a board-pinctrl.dtsi file in
* your board directory, or a devicetree overlay in your application.
*/
&pinctrl {
/* configuration for uart0 device, default state */
uart0_default: uart0_default {
/* group 1 ('group1' name is arbitrary) */
group1 {
/* configure P0.1 as UART_TX and P0.2 as UART_RTS */
psels = , ;
};
/* group 2 */
group2 {
/* configure P0.3 as UART_RX and P0.4 as UART_CTS */
psels = , ;
/* both P0.3 and P0.4 are configured with pull-up */
bias-pull-up;
};
};
};
The 'uart0_default' child node encodes the pin configurations for a
particular state of a device; in this case, the default (that is, active)
state. You would specify the low-power configuration for the same device
in a separate child node.
As shown, pin configurations are organized in groups within each child node.
Each group can specify a list of pin function selections in the 'psels'
property. The NRF_PSEL macro is used to specify a pin function selection.
Available pin functions can be found in the
include/zephyr/dt-bindings/pinctrl/nrf-pinctrl.h header file.
A group can also specify shared pin properties common to all the specified
pins, such as the 'bias-pull-up' property in group 2. Here is a list of
supported standard pin properties:
- bias-disable: Disable pull-up/down (default behavior, not required).
- bias-pull-up: Enable pull-up resistor.
- bias-pull-down: Enable pull-down resistor.
- low-power-enable: Configure pin as an input with input buffer
disconnected.
Note that bias options are mutually exclusive.
To link this pin configuration with a device, use a pinctrl-N property
for some number N, like this example you could place in your board's DTS
file:
#include "board-pinctrl.dtsi"
&uart0 {
pinctrl-0 = <&uart0_default>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
};
Properties

Top level properties
====================
These property descriptions apply to "nordic,nrf-pinctrl"
nodes themselves. This page also describes child node
properties in the following sections.
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Node specific properties
Properties not inherited from the base binding file.
(None)
.. group-tab:: Deprecated node specific properties
Deprecated properties not inherited from the base binding file.
(None)
.. group-tab:: Base properties
Properties inherited from the base binding file, which defines
common properties that may be set on many nodes. Not all of these
may apply to the "nordic,nrf-pinctrl" compatible.
