What software assets do I need to program a nrf52840 chip, still under experimental production?

Hello, I've obtained and assembled a board with nrf52840 as its centerpiece, I'm here to ask what I need to compile my program for this relatively new chip?

Here is a list I made, hoping that it will serve some future use:

  • Keil μV5
  • Software packs for Nrf52840
  • S1x0 softdevice, any softdevice will do, no need to be specifically compiled and tailored for nrf52840.

These are the items I can list, I'm not sure I missed anything?

Also, a rather pressing issue: there doesn't seem to be any Software packs for Nrf52840? Although there appears to be software packs for nrf51822. Where can I find the ones made precisely for nrf52840?

  • Hi,

    The nRF5 SDK (Software Development Kit) v13.0.0 provides support for the nRF52840 SoC.

    You can download SDK v13.0.0 here.

    In the compatibility matrix here, you can use see that you will need to use SoftDevice S140. You can find the SoftDevice in the folder: SDK13_Folder\components\softdevice\s140\hex


    Support for nRF52840/PCA10056 was added in J-Link V6.12c.

    Please download the latest J-Link version from Segger here.
