Custom Thingy:52 FW development - Cookbook Example

[Rafaelig]

I want to develop a custom Firmware for the Thingy:52. 

I am using a Segger Edu J-link Debugger and the Thingy:52 PCA20020 Version 1.0.0. As an IDE i am using 64bit Segger Embedded Studio running on Windows 10.

Everything is brand-new, no additional software is installed. I have only downloaded the Thingy:52 SDK V2.1.0 and the driver for the J-link debugger.

Can you give a short cookbook example on how to develop and program a custom firmware, from start to finish? Including the prerequisites before programming, the use of the libraries, the debugging and the implementation of the FW. 

I am a complete beginner, as i have previously only programmed Arduino. I cannot afford Keil and i do not wish to use gcc.

I would appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

Hi,

Unfortunately the thingy is not a good starting point. You should start with a nRF52-DK, and for instance check out:

http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0/nrf51_getting_started.html?cp=4_0_0_1 

Using Segger Embedded Studio is fine:
