PCB Review

[Daniel Dakhno]

Hello,

I am attempting to develop an open source nRF52832 PCB design, aiming to minimize the footprint as much as possible.

Thus, I attempted to cramp as many components in a tight space as possible.

I know that my design, deviating from the reference PCB, probably sacrifices quite a bit of RF quality and signal strength.

Yet, I wanted to ask Nordics opinion on this design, and what I could improve.

Thanks a lot!nrf52_micro.zip

Hello,

Thanks for the information.

Do you require fully assembled devices?

If that is the case, you probably also need a firmware pre-flashed?

Cheers!

It is best if it is populated with all the components related to the nRF SoC and antenna. So in this case it would be best. But we can replace some parts if needed or populate some parts if needed, its just not something we have capacity to do for everyone all the time.

If we can asses the SWD lines we dont need anything to be pre-flashed on to the device, so for this i guess we would need something pre flashed.
