Change clockspeed in RAK8212

Dear all,
I want to change the clockspeed on the RAK8212 in order to make a comparison of the energy consumption. I downloaded the Espruino code from github but when I issued the BOARD=RAK8212 make command I received errors. Is there any other way to change the clockspeed of the mcu without recompiling the firmware?

Thank you in advance!

You might be able to use poke32() to manipulate the nrf52 registers directly.

Yes - if it's possible to change clock speed you should be able to do it with poke - however I don't think it's possible to change? I thought nRF52 ran at 64MHz whatever you did.

hah! I just had a quick read of the datasheet and I think you're right - I didn't see any means of varying the cpu clock. I had expected the nrf52 would've had a pll like most other ARM devices.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
