Dev board nRF52832

[CHEVYAN]

Hi Just to be sure: I've recently bought the nRF52840 Preview DK (dev board for nRF52840) but I think I'm going to use the nRF52832 instead for my project.

Is it ok to use the nRF52840 Preview DK for my code? Will I have to do major changes to implement it in the nFR52832? If so, what kind of changes?

thanks Y

Hi,

The SDK is created with support for multiple boards and softdevices, and in most cases you will be able to run your nRF52840 project on a nRF52832 device if you use the drivers and abstraction libraries in the SDK. Note that the nRF52840 have a lot of new features and peripherals, that the nRF52832 does not have. You need to avoid using any of these, if your project is going to run on the nRF52832 chip. The main differences are described in this comment. The softdevices might also have slightly different API, and might not support all the same commands.

If you want to get started with your development right away, you can use the nRF52840-PDK, but I would recommend getting the nRF52-DK (nRF52832) to make sure you do not end up with a lot of rework when you are done with your development.

Best regards,

Jørgen
