nrf5340 multicore programming

[Sam123]

Hello,

I am new to multicore programming. I tried to find without much success a complete VS Code sample project from Nordic targeting nrf5340 two cores; ideally with the network core being dedicate to Bluetooth communications. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi, 

The most common architecture for using BLE on the nRF5340 is to run the Bluetooth controller on the network core, and the Bluetooth host on the application core along with the other application code. When using NCS BLE samples, the Bluetooth controller is automatically included as a sub-image when you build a Bluetooth example for the 'nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp' board using the SDK's support.

This course shows how to load a BLE sample in VS Code, and this course can help you familiarize NCS. I would suggest you go through nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals and Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals.

Hi Amanda,

Thank you very much for your reply. Can you please point me to the document mentioning that "the Bluetooth controller is automatically included as a sub-image when you build a Bluetooth example for the 'nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp".

Thank you,

Sam
