Programming Nordic Thingy 52

[Naven Suresh]

1. Is it possible to program Nordic Thingy 52 using nRF52840 DK or it is possible only with nRF52832 DK ?

2. Is nRF52832 IC is pin to pin compatible?

Hi Naven.

1) Yes, you can use both the nRF52840 DK and nRF52832 DK to program your Nordic Thingy:52, as this is done using the Segger chip on the DK.

2) I'm not quite sure what you mean by this question, pin to pin compatible to what?

Thanks for your reply

For pin to pin compatible - I mean is it possible to replace the nRF52832 IC with nRF52840 IC in DK or Thingy 52?

Similarly for nRF52840 - Is it possible to replace the IC alone with the future upcoming ICs?

Hi Naven,

nRF52840 has more peripherals than nRF52832 and it is not possible to keep it pin compatible as there are more inouts on 840.
