Kenneth exaplained you the steps to migrate the project to s340 here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/68654/connecting-via-ant-to-garmin-gsc10/281726#281726 .You shouldn't have to make any code changes as both Softdevices have the same ANT APIs.

Can I transfer "main.c" for migrating s212 to s340 ? thanks

....But you can use the ant_shared_channel project (located in \examples\ant\experimental\ant_shared_channel\m2m) as a reference for creating this configuration for the ant_plus bsc_rx project.....

How can I make it as reference ? What should I change and give attention ?

Thanks

Can I use D52\s212\ with nRF52840 ?

I uploaded to nRF52840 and it's running...

There is no pca10056 for this project, unfortunately. But you can use the ant_shared_channel project (located in \examples\ant\experimental\ant_shared_channel\m2m) as a reference for creating this configuration for the ant_plus bsc_rx project.

Note that you must use the s340 Softdevice as s212 is not qualified for the nRF52840 (comp. matrix).

Yes, there is no pca10056 for ant_plus bsc_rx ??

Hi,

You need to copy the SD API headers to your SDK and uncomment ANT_LICENSE_KEY. From the SDK getting started guide:

Running ANT examples

ANT SoftDevices for the nRF52 Series are not distributed by Nordic Semiconductor. You can download them from thisisant.com.

There are no Keil or GCC targets to program these SoftDevices. You must therefore use nRFgo Studio to program them.

The SDK does not include the header files for the ANT SoftDevices. You must add them to your project before you can compile your application. To do so, extract the downloaded zip file that contains the SoftDevice and copy the SoftDevice headers to components/softdevice/SoftDevice/headers.

Make sure that ANT_LICENSE_KEY is uncommented in the nrf_sdm.h file that you copied. The included license key can be used for evaluation, but before releasing a product, it must be replaced with a valid commercial license key. For more information about licensing, see thisisant.com.

Hello Marco,

I just wanted to let you know that SDK v.15.3.0 with s340 support has been released.

Best regards,

Vidar

Hello,

The s340 (BLE+ANT for 52840) stack was not released in time for SDK 15.2.0. That is why there aren't any examples for PCA10056. However, it should be relatively straight forward to port the existing examples to use the s340 stack which you can download from thisisant.com. There are mainly two thing you need to do 1 include the API headers from the s340 download 2 adjust the linker settings so the application does not overlap with the softdevice.

Regards,

Vidar
