How to get started nRF52 Thingy in segger

[Sunil vignesh]

HI,

I want to work nRF52 thingy with segger embedded studio.

Is there any example code to compile and run the Project file for nRF52_thingy?

Which sdk need to use SDK13 or SDK15.3?

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

We do not provide a Segger Embedded Studio (SES) project for the Thingy:52 firmware, as it was written before Nordic introduced SES support. You can try to follow this guide or just use Keil or GCC instead.

If you are developing/prototyping, then you should probably go for SDK 15.3. Note that it does not include board support nor examples for the Thingy. If you want a nRF52832 firmware development platform, then the nRF52 DK is a better choice, as it has an onboard debugger and examples in SDK 15.3.

HI Einar,

I got the SDK file thingysdkv210.zip

from https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/Nordic-Thingy-52/Download#infotabs

I also attach the content of the file

nRF_52_Thingy_v2.1.0\project\pca20020_s132\ses

got errors like:

nordic_common.h: No such file or directory

F:\1.nRF_52_v1\nRF_52_Thingy_v2.1.0\source\modules\thingee_ble_handler.c: No such file or directory

F:\1.nRF_52_v1\nRF_52_Thingy_v2.1.0\source\modules\thingee_config_flash.c: No such file or directory

ble_types.h: No such file or directory

and

I want to work with nRF_Thingy to read the sensors data for R&D.

nrf_tthingy firmware is open source or not?

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

The thingy firmware is available in source. You can find it on Nordic's website like you did, or on github. As mentioned it did not officially have any SES project, so adapting the project to SES is a bit of work. The SES project included in the last zip archive is broken and was not intended to be used. See this thread.

As mentioned I recommend that you use SDK 15.3 if you plan to do extensive development, even though it does not have explicit Thingy support. If you just want to build the thingy firmware and make a few minor modifications, then probably the toolchain is not so important, so you can probably just use GCC.

Ok thank you ,

Is This a Thingy_Mesh demo link

this code will work ?

or any source to find the nRF_Thingy_Mesh

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

Yes, it works. But it is based on a quite old mesh SDK version (1.0.1). Like other Thingy projects it should be considered a demo, and not code that is intended to be used as a basis for other development projects.

Thank you Einar, Is there any future development of Thingy in a SES and when we excepted?

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

There are no immediate plans for a update of the Thingy:52 firmware.
