nRF52810 Development

[Jeremy]

It looks like the "NRF52-DK" development kit I can find comes with an nRF52832 chip, but I'm looking to get a dev kit to develop for the nRF52810. I did also find a "NRF52840-PDK" to develop on the 2840, but no kit that would actually be testing on a 2810 chip.

It looks like the 2832 and 2810 are so similar it may not be an issue, but I don't want to spend time working out a solution and then find I break everything when I try to convert the project to be flashed to a 2810 on a production board. There are of course some limitations I would have to be careful not to exceed (I found on this helpful post), but are those the only issues I need to look out for? Or is there some way to set up Kiel so it restricts itself to not use anything not found on the 2810 version?

Thanks!

Hi Torbjørn,

I am working on the nRF52832 at the moment, but will be migrating to the nRF52810 as soon as the SDK been launched. Can you provide the header files and linker settings as you mentioned above so that I can continue the development while waiting for the SDK to be released.

Thanks!

With regards, Jason

Can you confirm that you got what you needed Jason?

Hi Jakub, Torbjørn,

Thank you for the reply. Silly me didn't check the headers folder for NRF52810 files. Just changed a few defined and its working on the nRF52810 chip :)

Right now, i am just wondering when the SDK and working examples specific to nRF52810 is going to be released. Because of the limitation of flash, there is just barely enough space for softdevice + app + bootloader.

Hi Jason

There is no special SDK planned for the nRF52810, but we are working on a smaller SoftDevice which will free up more flash space when you don't need the full feature set of the S132.

This SoftDevice will be named the S112, and should save you around 32kB of flash compared to the S132 (exact size TBD). The plan is to have an alpha release by the end of October, and a production release soon thereafter.

Best regards
