Custom board support for nRF connect

[mjazz]

Hello!

Since the code of nRF connect code is open (on github) - is in possible to extend supported devices list? In other words, is there any way to use non-nordic boards/dongles in conjunction with nRF conect? 

I had this idea today, but now after some research on the code it seems absolutely infeasible....

Regards,

Rafael

Hi mjazz,

the apps in nRF Connect will look for different devices, e.g. the Bluetooth Low Energy app will look for  devices that can be listed by nrfjprog and has a serialport OR devices using USB CDC ACM with Nordic vendor and product ID, and the has the DFU trigger interface first and the CDC interface second.

 It might be possible to modify the code to accept custom board, but it might be a lot of work. You could add this as a feature request in the GitHub repo. 

Best regards

Bjørn
