how to use BLE and ANT on same chip!

[abuzar12]

Im using nRF 52 DK. I need to use BLE and ANT simultaneously, but the problem is most of the SDK v12,v13 examples use softdevice s212 for ANT,which does not support BLE examples. While if i use softdevice s332 for both BLE and ANT then i cant find an ANT example with s332. What to do now?

Hi abuzar12!

I suggest you take a look at the nRF5 SDK v13.1.0 that were released this week, and read the release notes in the link.

Highlights from the release notes:

• Added support for the SoftDevice S332 v4.0.x.
• Added serialization solution for the combined BLE and ANT SoftDevice.

You can try to use this example from SDK v13.1.0, which states;
"The ANT and BLE Heart Rate Monitor Relay Application shows the concurrent use of ANT and BLE protocols."

Additionally, in SDK 13.1.0 you can find an ANT-only example for S332 SoftDevice: <instal_folder>\examples\ant\ant_message_types
