nRF52840 BLE gateway?

[james]

can I use an nRF52840 based BLE gateway? Backhaul would be either 10/100 Ethernet (via Wiznet or Microchip controller chip) or a cellular module. Is the clock speed sufficient? Is there enough RAM?

Use it for what?

Again, that depends upon your requirements!

[james]

Use the nrf52840 as a BLE gateway which means wirelessly connect BLE sensor nodes to the Ethernet (IP) either with cellular, WiFi, of wired Ethernet backhaul. I would like to connect up to 20 BLE beacon endpoint nodes.

It may be what you want to do - but it isn't inherent in the words themselves.

We are not mind readers - that's why you need to explain what you're thinking of!

Should be doable.

But not a beginner's project.

Yes, this should be doable. Rigado uses Nordic chips in it's gateways (see link).

Rigado uses an NXP iMX6 A7 with MTG based by module so not quite what I am looking to do.i want to use the 52840 M4 with either a cell back haul or wired 10/100 Ethernet via SPI to Ethernet controller chip such as wiznet w5500.
