No.

nRF52832 code will not just run on an nRF52840 - you will, at least, have to rebuild it; probably also adjust some configurations.

But that's a new question - please verify the answer to your original question, and start a new thread for a new question.

Thank you very much for the response, I've just unwrapped my nrF52840 Development Kit! I assume this is compatible with the GitHub content which recommended the nrF52832 kit?

Yes, you can't emulate it on any other host either.

In fact, I don't think you can emulate it on any other Host, either?

You will need some Target hardware to develop on - and the DK would be the ideal choice!

Hi,

Unfortunately, you can't emulate the firmware on a Mac. I suggest you start by purchasing a nRF52832-DK for developement and testing. You can find all the necessary software and firmware on our website.

Best Regards,

Martin
