Need to understand if its possible to transfer an audio file (low fidelity sound) to Thingy 52 to be played later from the Thingy52 flash.

Hi folks,

We are in the process of evaluating nordic chips for our product.

One of the features we need is the ability to record an audio sound from an Ios app, send it down to the hardware to be saved in the flash.

And then to be played later from the flash.

I played around with Thingy and know that it does support audio streaming, but our use case is slightly different as I explained above.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Yes, any data that is transferred over BLE to the nRF52832 IC can be accessed and stored in flash. Instead of playing the received data, you need to add functionality to store it to flash. Other BLE services have modules for storing data to flash, you need to implement similar module for the sound service. Note that the flash size of the nRF52832 is limited, and will not hold large audio files in addition to the softdevice/Thingy firmware.

Best regards,
Jørgen
