Integrating nRF9160 with nRF52810 as a Bluetooth Gateway: Design Considerations

My general recommendation would be to contact sales as I don't really have the knowledge regarding pricing. However what I would also suggest is to try to compile the hci sample with the config you need and see what is the smallest device you can use. By reducing the number of of max BT connection I was able to build it for the nRF52820.

Hi Runar,

Thank you very much for your very fast response. 52810 is not must. Any other product is also fine by me. Can you maybe suggest any products from Nordic that I can use it as a BLE gateway

Hi girays

I'm looking into your issue. I know we have a connectivity sample for the thingy91 which you can find here. However I think maybe the HCI sample will for-fill your requirement better. I have not yet tested if it is possible to fit the HCI sample on a 52810 due to memory constrains. The HCI sample expose the Zephyr Bluetooth controller support over UART to another device/CPU using the H:4 HCI transport protocol. There is also possible to use SPI instead of UART as seen here
