Yes, you would have develop firmware in the nRF Connect SDK. You can use one of our many samples as references.

That means I’ll need to configure the nRF5340 using the nRF Connect SDK to upload my programs right?

Hi,

I see! Well, if you use two MCU's on your board, you have a number of options to "integrate" them. It's common to use a serial communication protocol such as UART; SPI or I2C. If the expected interaction for one of the chips is simple, you could also just use GPIO's to toggle behavior.

If you want to learn more about these protocols, you could check out our nRF Connect courses on https://academy.nordicsemi.com/

I also recommend you to consider whether you can do everything on the nRF5340, since you need that one anyway. It would depend on how much stuff your Nano is doing, and how much audio stuff you are doing (multiple streams, or just one?) but I think you might be able to do away with the nano entirely. That would simplify your design.

Best regards,

Raoul

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I need to transmit audio signal to my phone using BLE, which is why I require the nRF5340 as it supports Audio LE. But, I am already using an Arduino Nano 33 BLE which is required for other part of the project. My plan is to only use the nRF5340 for it’s Audio LE capability together with my Nano 33 BLE which is executing other programs for the project.

Regards,

Syed

Hi,

I think that the information from the distributors is just outdated. As far as I know, any nRF5340 version you can find will support BLE 5.4.

[quote user=""]2. How can I use the SoC with my Nano 33 BLE? I could not think of how to integrate them together as my idea was like to only use it's Audio LE capability.[/quote]

I'm not certain what you mean here, could you elaborate your question?

Best regards,

Raoul
