There is a lot of duplicated code for the NRF52 boards. Add a base class for sharing. Signed-off-by: Frieder Schrempf <[email protected]>
The reboot() method is the same for all NRF52 boards. Use a shared implementation. Signed-off-by: Frieder Schrempf <[email protected]>
Use a common begin() method that can be called from derived classes to contain the shared initialization code. Signed-off-by: Frieder Schrempf <[email protected]>
Some NRF52 boards are able to use the internal power-efficient DC/DC regulator. Add a new class that can be inherited by board classes to enable this feature and reduce the power consumption. Signed-off-by: Frieder Schrempf <[email protected]>
The startOTAUpdate() is the same for all NRF52 boards. Use a common implementation for all boards that currently have a specific implementation. The following boards currently have an empty startOTAUpdate() for whatever reasons and therefore are not inheriting NRF52BoardOTA to keep the same state: Nano G2 Ultra, Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E, Wio WM1110.

The RAK4631/RAK4630 module are able to use the DC/DC converter. Enable it to reduce power consumption. Signed-off-by: Frieder Schrempf <[email protected]>

I have created a common NRF52Board when I tried to add in built-in temperature. When merged, we can remove duplicated code. Copy and paste code is not a way to go. |

I was a bit disappointed to see the loads of duplicated code and seemingly nobody being bothered by the increasing amount of copy and paste when adding new hardware variants.
So I tried to "be the change I want to see" and started to deduplicate the NRF52 board code. Except for the last commit, these changes are intended to be purely refactoring and not change the functional behavior.
The last commit enables the DC/DC converter for the RAK4631 hardware. The documentation says that the DC/DC converter can be used and it was tested to decrease the power consumption significantly.
