nrf52832 Preview DK desolder with new chip?

[Nils Minor]

Hey,

i've bought the nrf52832 Preview DK some time ago, are there any big changes to the new DK? So if i buy a new nrf52832 IC i can desolder the old IC and use the new one or do I miss something?

Thanks, Nils

Hey and what is the different between the PCA10036 (I bought) and the PCA10040 ?? Thanks, Nils

PCA10036 hardware files - www.nordicsemi.com/.../65136426 PCA10040 hardware files - www.nordicsemi.com/.../59093914

comparing those shows remarkably few changes, apart from having a chip with many fewer errata on it.

Yes, you can do that Nils. Besides the change in the chip, the current nRF52DK has the change with the NFC connector and antenna compare to PCA10036, but it doesn't really matter.
