Using nRF5340 DK as a GATEWAY instead of a nRF5340 AUDIO DK

[Lalith.K]

Hi, 

I'm currently developing a headset application using the nRF5340 AUDIO DK. The thing is, I would require 2 AUDIO DKs (one for headset and one for gateway) to implement the basic functionality but, I have only 1 AUDIO DK with me and a nRF5340 DK. I want to configure the nRF5340 DK as a gateway and stream audio accordingly to the nRF5340 AUDIO DK configured as headset. I tried using samples like CENTRAL_UART to connect the DK to the AUDIO DK but, it was of no use. I would need some help here. Is it possible to configure nRF5340 DK as a GATEWAY? If yes, how good can the quality of the audio stream be? or, is it recommended to purchase another AUDIO DK and configure it accordingly as a gateway? Answering these questions would greatly help. 

Thanks & Regards,

Lalith.

Hi Lalith,

It is possible, but we do not have a plan to support standard nRF5340DK for the BLE audio application, since nRF5340 Audio DK is designed specifically for this purpose.

I will forward this request to our development team, and the potential support may take time. So the simple and fast solution for your development is buying a new nRF5340 Audio DK.

Best regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie, 

Your response is much appreciated. A response from your development time would give me a final conclusion. In the mean time, I will order another nRF5340 AUDIO DK. 

Thanks & Regards,
