This commit lays some of the ground work for the upcoming power management fix that allows users to configure the boot lock behaviour.
It is *not* the full fix yet. The goal is to break up the larger commit into smaller chunks so it is easier to review and softer to merge.
Improvements:
- MainBoard: Add bool to check if power management has been initialised (later to be consumed by CommonCLI to validate we can safely configure the settings)
- MainBoard: Add bool to validate LPCOMP is supported on the board (gates LPCOMP config so it doesnt wedge on an unsupported board)
- NRF52Board: Rename initPowerMgr() -> pwrmgtInit() to align with the "pwrmgt" prefix being used by any power management related functions in the upcoming new version
- NRF52Board: Add a shutdown reason for "None" so the `get pwrmgt.bootreason` command doesnt erroneously return "Unknown"
- NRF52Board: Add gate in configureVoltageWake to not arm LPCOMP when power management isn't initialised or the board doesn't support LPCOMP (i.e. we havent defined the AIN pin)
- NRF52Board: Reference the LPCOMP AIN pin directly instead of from the per-board definitions to align to the upcoming deprecation of the per-board static configs
- NRF52Board: Drop LPCOMP hysteresis as it broadens the wake voltage too much and makes the board less likely to self-recover
- NRF52Board: Separate LPCOMP and VBUS wake arm into their own functions
Framework for upcoming variant-specific PRs that add LED feedback during boot. The hook gives users visual cues that the device is busy and
shouldn't be interacted with until startup completes.
Added NRF52840 power management core functionality:
- Boot‑voltage lockout
- Initial support for shutdown/reset reason storage and capture (via RESETREAS/GPREGRET2)
- LPCOMP wake (for voltage-driven shutdowns)
- VBUS wake (for voltage-driven shutdowns)
- Per-board shutdown handler for board-specific tasks
- Exposed CLI queries for power‑management status in CommonCLI.cpp
- Added documentation in docs/nrf52_power_management.md.
- Enabled power management support in Xiao nRF52840, RAK4631, Heltec T114 boards
