BLE UART/SPI

[agus.uy]

Hello all,

I'm working on updating bluetooth communication. Currently using a module that receives AT style commands.

The first step will be replacing with nordic device, then change HW and include the code into the SoC.

I have a nRF52 DK, but all the examples are meant to program directly on the nRF52.

Does anyone know if there is a FW I can use that will allow using the nRF52 as a similar module through SPI or UART? Or is the nRF52 a bad choice here?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Well we've got the Serialization library, but the nRF52 is quite capable as a SoC on its own. Do you really need another MCU? What exactly are your needs?

It's a complex device with many I/O and strict timing (to micro seconds). We use several concurrent timers, DMA, ADCs and DACs.

We use BT with an older module controlled with AT commands, and we want to upgrade to BLE with a nordic chip (or module).

The first step will be substituting the module, then we'll evaluate migrating the code to the nordic (or some or it).

The serialization looks good, is there an example for both the application and connectivity micros?

We've got an example in nRF5_SDK_15.2\examples\connectivity\ble_connectivity :)
