BLE and USB communication by using nRF52840 dongle.

Dear all, I started nRF52840 development.
Using this module, I'm going to use BLE and USB connection.

I have nRF52832 module, which sends BLE data by 1.28Mbps.
I'm going to make nRF52840 to receive those data, and send it to PC by USB connection.
In summary, nRF52840 is a dongle for PC, BLE receive and USB send.

Is there any good example to refer? I think UART doesn't have enough speed for sending data by 1.28Mbps.
Thanks everyone, and have a nice day!

  • You will find it far easier to do your development on an nRF52840 Development Kit - rather than on the Dongle.

    As the name suggests, the Development Kit is specifically designed for doing development - not least because it has a Segger J-Link programmer/debugger built in.

    Is there any good example to refer?

    because the Dongle is not really intended for development, there are rather few examples for it

    Another reason why the Development Kit is the better option to start your development!

    I think UART doesn't have enough speed for sending data by 1.28Mbps

    Note that 1.28Mbps is just the raw radio bit rate - the actual application data throughput achievable in practice will be much less that this.

    A UART should be fine in association with a BLE link in practice.
