  • Hi, you can probably start with flashing some o BLE Peripheral examples from nRF5 SDK v13 to your PCA10056 board (nRF52840 Preview DK), downloading Nordic nRF Connect app to your mobile and observing the broadcasts. If this work then simply run as long as you see some signal;) As next step you can play with Tx Power of the broadcasts (typically requires recompiling of the BLE FW for nRF52 target), you can also establish connection link and try its reliability (seeing broadcasts here and there is little bit different situation then reliable connection link with some reasonable throughput). Overall hard to say what such tests could tell you on top of one hour of reading the internet but hands-on experience is sometimes needed!
