Develoment kit

Hello, 

I am going to use nRF52832, but I have nRF52840 DK, can i use this bord for developing project on nRF52832. Is nRF52840 compatible with nRF52832 in software and hardware levels?

Not fully - the nRF52840 has more GPIOs and peripherials, and uses a different softdevice.

Yes, you can use the the DK to develop for the 832 as long you don't use the extra features available on the 840.  Limit your memory map and I/O's to those supported by the 832.  The S132 should work fine on the 840 although Nordic does not guaranties it.

Hi,

 

You can emulate a nRF52832 by using a nRF52840, like suggested by others here, but I would strongly recommend to develop on your target MCU.

One major reason why is the erratas. They are different for the nRF52840 vs. the nRF52832.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
