can I run ble4.2 code on ble5 chip?

[KrishNa]

Hello Nordic,

Currently we are working on a project based on nrf51822. Now we are planning to upgrade to nrf52832. so I can run the same ble4.2 based code on ble5 chip (nrf52832)

Thanks in Advance.

Best,

Krish

Well, you can't just take nRF51 code and dump it straight onto an nRF52.

This is because they're different chips - not particularly to do with BT version.

The same would apply with taking code for any chip and adapting it to run on a different chip.

You will need to port your code from the nRF51 to the nRF52.

But, Yes - an nRF52 can operate as BLE 4.2
