Port application to Zephyr

[Michal]

Hi,

We have build complex application based on Nordic SDK. Right now we are thinking about moving to Zephyr OS. I was wondering if there is any tutorial/tips I can find about porting our application? We are currently using SDK 14 for nrf52832 and SDK 15 for nrf52832.

We are mostly using bluetooth stuff and timers but nothing specific to Nordic like PPI or GPIOTE.

Regards,

Michał

Hi.

I would recommend you to use our nRF Connect SDK (NCS), wich contains several extra libraries on top of Zephyr.

Bluetooth support in NCS is currently experimental, and we, therefore, do not recommend using it in production.

However, while we do not have official support for Bluetooth in NCS at the moment, you will find implementations of several Bluetooth services. This should help you in your porting efforts.

Best regards,

Didrik

Does  nRF Connect SDK actually support nrf52832? I've got an impression that it's only for nRF9160.

Was there supposed to be a "do not" in there somewhere ... ?

NCS is built on top of Zephyr, and Zephyr supports the nRF52832.

We do not currently provide support for NCS, but there are currently some Bluetooth related samples and libraries in NCS.

In other words, you can use NCS with nRF52, but we do not currently provide any support for it.

Yes, thanks for pointing it out. Original comment has been updated.

I am aware of NCS, I was attending last webinar about it :) I understand it is not production ready but it will be enough for our POC. 
Is there any chance that in short future such tutorial or guidance will show up? Something like guidance for updating SDK.
