We currently are investigating a move from nRF52832 to nRF52840. The reason for this is that we need a more powerfull radio - more range (even if that means lower throughput) in our application.
However. According to the compatibility matrix for nRF52840, this device is compatible to S132 and S140; S332 is not mentioned. Is it not possible to run both, BLE5 and ANT+, on the same device? The nRF52840 DK documentation mentions a 32 kHz crystal is necessary when ANT/ANT+ is required, which seems to indicate ANT *is* possible (and supported?) on nRF52840
So, can anyone confirm to me that:
- nRF52840 is capable of running ANT/ANT+ and there is sufficient SDK- and SD support to do so (in parallel to BLE 5)
- Do I need S144 v6.x?
- Do I need SDK 15 or will SDK 14.2 suffice?
- Do I need both, 32 MHz (which was mentioned somewhere as a requirement for BLE) and a 32 kHz crystal (which seems a hard requirement for ANT/ANT+)?
TIA!
