nRF52840 newest version

[jdennis01]

When is the next version of nRF52840 coming out (or available through a distributor in Switzerland)? In an earlier version of this chip, we were unable to link the micro USB with the chip. The Bluetooth 5 was also not up and ready,Thanks, John

Hi,

For questions about road map and distribution please contact our regional sales manager in your area. If you don't know who that is please send me a PM and I'll give you his details.

I do not know. We are using a University in Yverdon (HEIG-VD) for the prototype. We are trying to design now the casing but do not know if we need a SD card in the future. It would be very helpful if you could just indicate when the new version is available in Switzerland and whether a mini USB will work with this new chip version. It would help to also know if Bluetooth 5 also works with this version.

Thanks,

John

We transferred the nRF52840 to production just a couple of weeks ago and lead customers will get samples first. I honestly don't know what timeline you can expect, but the RSM does. 

The USB should be fully functional now, but as usual, always keep an eye on related errata:New and inherited anomalies.

We support most BLE 5 features now, but we have not yet qualified the extended advertising parts. The relevant APIs are included in the Softdevice though, so you can start experimenting.
