Nordics SDK:s and Bluefruit nRF52 Feather

[AntonHellbe]

Hi,

For a new project we need a smaller devices compared to to the nRF52832 dev board but still want to stay with the nRF52832 chip without making our own PCB. As an alternative I found the Bluefruit nRF52 Feather, but I cannot find any information if It is possible to use the Nordic SDK:s with it instead of the Arduino ported versions. So I guess my question is, can I use the Nordic SDK:s with Bluefruit nRF52 Feather? Furthermore, If they work with Bluefruit nRF52 Feather, will it work the same as an nRF52832 dev board or is there a risk for firmware developed and tested on a nRF52832 dev board not working on Bluefruit nRF52 Feather?

One last question regarding flashing the Bluefruit, I'm assuming if I use the Nordic SDK:s I cant flash it using the USB port, that has to be done through the SWD pins. Is that correct?

Best Regards,
Anton

Sure, you can use the SDK.

The only difference is the external connections to the chip - so you'd have to adapt to that.

Use an SWD programmer (eg, JLink) and you have full access to reprogram the entire flash.
