Hi Robin,

[quote user=""]So what's the best development environment? Is there a VS Code plugin?[/quote]

You can start by looking at the nRF Connect for VS Code ( here as well) and nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack. For getting started, you can also look at Installing nRF Connect SDK.

[quote user=""]What's the best IDE to use for generating code and debugging it?[/quote]

With our nRF Connect for VS Code extension, installed nRF Connect SDK and the Toolchain, you will be effectively writing and debugging your code in the VS Code environment.

[quote user=""]The finished product will play music delivered from Android/iOS devices, as well as handle incoming/outgoing phone calls. So, I'll need to include Bluetooth profiles for those activities. I'll need to find out about audio processing like, echo cancellation, EQ presets, compression, noise suppression, etc.[/quote]

nRF5340 Audio DK webpage provides this information: "The three main components of this DK are the nRF5340 SoC, nPM1100 PMIC, and Cirrus Logic’s CS47L63 Audio DSP. The CS47L63’s high-performance DAC and differential output driver are optimized for direct connection to an external headphone load. It is perfect for earbuds with mono-only and direct speaker output."

[quote user=""]Is there a good LE audio hardware development platform for the nRF5340?[/quote]

Yes, we have available nRF5340_audio development hardware. nrf5340_audio-dk is best used with our reference nrf5340_audio application. You can read more about nrf5340_audio application in our documentation.

[quote user=""]What's the best tool chain for C/C++ development?[/quote]

You can look at installing the Toolchain in the documentation.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
Dejan
