What is the difference between PCA10040 and PCA20020?

[Nakul Nair]

PCA10040 and PCA20020 both use nrf52832 and s132 softdevices but still when I try to run the code for PCA10040 on PCA20020 it does not work?

Could you please explain what the pca20026 is? I have never heard of this board.

It is a Nordic Thingy 52 ...I tried to run mesh code version 2.0.1 on thingy but it didn't work. What all changes do I have to make basically to port the code in the mesh sdk (which is basically for nrf52 DK) to thingy board.

That's right. Thanks. What board header file are you using? Which SDK are you currently running? You might have more luck if you add the pca20026 header file from the thingy sdk & try running an sdk example. The SDK examples will most likely not work out of the box with the Thingy device though. I would recommend starting with downloading the thingy sdk & take that as a starting point. The Thingy SDK is based on sdk 13 & is the normal FW that is loaded on the Thingy:52 device when you receive it.

My guess is you would need to make quite a few changes to get the mesh sdk to work on the Thingy. If you really want to run mesh on multiple Thingy devices, you could take a look at this source code here.

Hello,

Just a minor point, but would be good for anyone else accessing this post... I believe that the Nordic Thingy:52 is marked up as PCA20020 (and not PCA20026)
