https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/4297/nrf8001-devkit-usage-with-fpga-and-embedded-linuxI would like to develop an application with nRF8001 DevKit. The master emulator of this kit is an USB Dongle and it is originally meant for PC connection. My final goal for the project is to run it on an FPGA (possibly through Embedded Linux).

For the kit with the nRF2739 dongle we don&#39;t have any alternative to the Windows implementation. On the kit with the PCA10000 dongle there&#39;s an option to run the Segger drivers in Linux at least.</p> <p>Q2: Yes, this is possible. The nRF8001 has a ACI interface which is basically a SPI interface with a couple of additional handshaking signals. So yes, you are able to connect it directly to the FPGA. <a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/content/download/2981/38488/file/nRF8001_PS_v1.2.pdf">Please have a look in the Interface and ACI chapters of the nRF8001 product specification.</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
