Hi i have questions about nrf52832 and nrf52811 soc.

Currently we are selling custom board with nrf52832 soc which works fine and going out for sale

In the custom board(working with nrf52832) we changed the soc to nrf52811, and we are unable to connect the board with nrfgo studio

According to manual, both socs have same pin map, and as far as i undetstood, both socs should work fine in same board if two have same pin map

I like to know

1. Do both socs have same pin map?

2. If they do, does nrf52811 not compatible with nordic studio?

3. When will direction finding be availabe for nrf52811?

Hi

1. As long as you use the QFN48 variant of the SoCs they have the same pin mapping, and there should not be a problem switching it out.

2. That is likely the issue. As the latest nRFGo Studio update was released prior to the nRF52811, so they won't be compatible. In any case, nRFgo Studio is an outdated program, and we generally recommend using nRF Connect for Desktop instead. Please try the nRFConnect programmer app instead as that should be able to detect nRF52811 chips.

3. The nRF52811 is hardware compatible with Bluetooth 5.1 and is in theory capable of direction-finding. However, we don't have software examples and hardware layouts/suggestions for direction-finding at the moment. If you need information on if/when this will be released, please contact your regional sales manager (RSM). If you don't have your RSM's contact information, please fill out our Sales related questions form here.

Best regards,

Hi

I tried nRF Connect for Desktop.

The nRF52832 still works well. However, nRF52811 cannot read memory.

    

In nRF52811, no reading or writing can be done.

Help me, please. Thank you.
