Buying nrf52 dk, Questions

[Julius]

Hello! :) I am a beginner with micro controller programming and want to start with a nrf52

1. Could someone please explain the difference between the development kit versus the preview develepment kit.

2. Someone of my university told me that there are problems with nfc. I did not find any information about this yet. Does nfc work without problems on the nrf52 dk? I should not buy "Revision A" version. Which is the correct version?

3. Do I need to buy anything else than the development kit to get startet? (I am a complete beginner)

Thank you for your help.

Regards Julius

Hi,

@Wojtek sums it up nicely. In addition, have a look at the nRF52832 IC revisions compatibility with development HW to find kit revisions with associated SoCs. Then refer to the SoC revisions and look at the Errata to find what features are missing or not functioning properly. You will see that there are four NFC related anomalies left in Revision 1. Read the errata carefully and make sure that the proper workarounds are applied in your application.
