USB peripheral power 

VBUS  Power  from  the  USB  Peripheral  interface  on  the  BMD-34  may  be  used  to  power  the  
BMD-34-

EVAL  by  moving  SW7  to  the  “HV”  setting.  This  enables  the  internal  high

-voltage 

regulator (LDO or DC-DC). When in the HV setting, the power switch SW6 should be left in the 
OFF position, especially if any of the protection diodes are bypassed.

Reset 

The BMD-34 module has a configurable hardware reset. P0.18 is assumed to be used as the 
reset pin for all BMD-34 and Nordic example projects, and thus the evaluation board hardware 
is configured to use P0.18 as a reset. The Reset button can be configured to connect to an 
input on the interface IC or to directly connect to P0.18.  
The reset button is connected to the IC used for the J-Link interface by default. Pressing reset 
while the interface IC is powered will cause a momentary reset signal on the 

RESET_N

 output 

of the interface IC, which is connected via solder jumper to P0.18 of the BMD-34 module. If the 
reset  button  is  held  down  during  EVK  power  on,  it  will  cause  the  interface  IC  to  enter  its 
bootloader  mode,  allowing  either  SEGGER  J-Link  or  mbed  programmer  firmware  to  be 
programmed.
