I am looking to use the nRF52840-based Fanstel BT840F module. I have it connected off of the Nordic development kit's DEBUG OUT pins. Can I develop code for SoftDevice S140 on the nRF52832-based NRF52-DK Development Kit or do I need the new NRF52840

Whenever I deploy an example to the Fanstel BT840F with Segger ES, the S132 SoftDevice is always also deployed to it.  I have attempted to change references to this in the project config, but cannot get it to deploy the S140 with the NRF52-DK.

  • Life would be so much easier if you just used a proper 52840 devkit - but you don't have to.

    In this setup, the NRF52-DK is acting purely as a J-Link - the nRF52832 chip is entirely irrelevant.

    Also, how you set up your SES project has nothing to do with the NRF52-DK.

    Suggest you start with an example that's configured for nRF52840 + S140 and work from there...
