nRF51822 and RFDUINO

roscop13

Dear SOC developpers,

As many kickstarters i bought an RFDUINO kit, then I made a cool prototype thanks to the easy Arduino compatibility. I'm now thinking of industrializing it. It leads me to some dummy questions :) sorry and thanks in advance for your patience:

-What does it takes to load the RFDUINO bootloader (I'm not sure to use the right term) in a nRF51822 ?

-Is the RFDUINO bootloader available open source?

-Assuming that I now have a nRF51822 with the RFDUINO bootloader, what is the process to upload my aduino sketch in the thousands of nRF51822 chips? Could it be done by NordicSemi or compnies can do that customization work?

Thanks for your help,

    Dear Philip,

    How about developing mbed (mbed.org/.../) Mbed says their HDK and SDK is free for commercial use and custom hardware is ok. Do you think it will be a better and more scalable platform to start with for prototyping a to-be-commercial product?

    I own a rfduino however would like to start developing nrf51822 application on a flexible platform. Roscop you may find this useful as well.

    Thanks, AJ

    Hi Abhinav,

    I think this newly available development environment will be very helpful. I have used mbed for another project about 2 years ago, and it was a pleasant experience. Unlike the Keil solution which is the recommended development env for the EK and DK boards which has a code size limit of 32K unless you buy the full license, I don't think mbed has any code size limits. On the other hand, the Keil debugger is excellent. I don't know if mbed has a debugger, it didn't when I last used it.

    Internally, I think mbed uses a GCC compiler, and so does the arduino for ARM environment.
