HWID 0x0086

[Gerbert Shnauer]

Hello,

I looked through "nRF51 Series Compatibility Matrix" document Version 2.1 and didn't find information about chip with HWID 0x0086. This chip is integrated into the nRF51 Development Board. Is there the updated version of the document?

There's a useful file embedded somewhere in the nrf windows software called nrf51deviceids.xml, I don't remember where exactly, found it in a post here a few months ago.

That helpfully gives lots of information

This doesn't give any information about specifics of the chip.

[Gerbert Shnauer]

Thank you for the information that you provided.

I expected a list of erratum for this type of the chip. Also I would like to know how many UART buffers in this revision.

The errata are in the Product Anomaly document which was updated for revision 3, which the HWID tells you this chip is, and the UART specification is in the nrf51422 (or nrf51822) product specification sheet and the nrf51 series reference manuals. All of those documents are linked off the 'SDK and Documentation' link at the top of the page.

The nrf51deviceids.xml file is available under c:\users\<user>\appdata\local\nordic semiconductor\nrfgo studio. See this thread for more information.
