DK Development kit for nRF52840 SoC with chip revision C or later

[LarsJakobsen]

I am about to buy 5 pcs of nRF52840 DK Development kit for nRF52840 SoC to use for Long Range. How can I ensure the development kits are mounted with chip revision C or later?

Hi,

 

See this section in the nRF52840 compatibility matrix.

 

Best regards,

I find it difficult to map information from link provided to details needed for ordering and ensuring to get dev board with nRF52840 IC revision 1. Please help

Details

1. Link provided to matrix  specify nRF52840 Preview Development Kit, PCA10056 revision 1.0.0

2. nRF52840-DK product page specifies the development kit part # as nRF52840-DK

3. nRF52840-DK product page - Development Kit for nRF52840 - clik BUY NOW  specifies part number as nRF52840-PDK 

At this point how can I be sure to get a development board with nRF52840 IC revision 1?

Hi,

 

The name 'Preview Development kit' is intended for kits that have engineering revision SoCs, but it seems like there is a little unconsistent use of the PDK/DK naming both from our side and from distributors. nRF52840-DK, PCA10056 v1.0.0 has revision 1, but there might be cases where this is listed as nRF52840-PDK v1.0.0. The key is the revision number, v1.0.0 should have rev 1 chip, regardless if it is listed as DK or PDK, but you might want to confirm with your distributor to be sure. I will report the bug with the BUY NOW button specifying PDK.

 

Best regards,

Andreas
