Help Needed: Setting up LoRaWAN on nRF52832 with SX1276

[REDHAT]

Hi, Good day!

I’m currently working on the nRF52832.
The requirement is to support BLE + LoRaWAN (SX1276).

I have a few questions:

1. How can I set up the LoRaWAN stack on nRF52832?

2. Is it possible to run both the BLE stack and the LoRaWAN stack together on the nRF52832?

3. At present, I’m using Segger Embedded Studio. Do I need to switch to nRF Connect SDK with Visual Studio Code for better support?

       Thank you!

Hi there

Just as a general tips I would recommend to move your design to the nRF54L platform. This will give you better performance, lower current draw and lower price. The 52832 is a an old and mature platform however these days I would switch to the 54L series

1. This will depend on the SDK you are using. I would recommend that you use the NCS as there are zephyr drivers for SX1276 there already which you can find here. 

2. I would expect so, You might to implement some kind of functionality so you don't try to send on both at the same time. 

3. I would encourage you to change to NCS, I do however think it will work with nRF5 based on older tickets. We don't have any spesific drivers for loRa so I would recommend that you see what Semtech has
