Are external pull-up resistors required on RN4870/71 for pins like "P1_1"? The datasheet mentions D I/O pins being "pulled-high", is it pulled high with internal resistors or programmatically from the microcontroller it's connected to or are external pullup resistors required?

Datasheet pg 11

According to datasheet pg 11, there is a pull-up resistance of ~50kΩ. If the pins are naturally pulled high, it must be enabled by default. However, be careful, 50kΩ is a pretty weak pull up, you may need to add in a smaller external resistor if pull up speed is a critical concern (Low pass formed with parasitic capacitance and pull-up resistance, bigger R, larger tau, slower response time).
