PCA10056 is not displayed

[taki@massa]

Hi, I use nRF52840 dk PCA10056 and keil μvision5 . In Pack Installer of  keil μvision5 , PCA10056 is not displayed . So I choose nRF52 PCA10040 , is it OK ?

Hi,

It's not recommended to use pca10040 projects which are configured for the 52832 to develop code for the 52840. The main difference is that it uses a different Bluetooth stack (s140 vs s132) that has some additional features.

Full support for nRF52840 was introduced in SDK 15.0.0, and I would recommend you to start with the latest SDK (15.3.0 at the time of writing). The SDK Getting started guide explains how to install the SDK: https://www.nordicsemi.com/DocLib/Content/SDK_Doc/nRF5_SDK/v15-3-0/getting_started_installing

I have a similar question.

Can I use the Keil toolset to develop code for nRF52840-DK / PCA10056?

There don't seem to be Keil examples for this platform.

Do I need to use your SDK?

The Keil examples are included in the nrF5 SDK: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Software/nRF5-SDK/Download
