nRF6700(Firmware update issue ) and nRF24LE1-F16Q24-DK

[Tush]

Hello

we had purchased nRF6700 and nRF24LE1-F16Q24-DK from Mouser India on 14-oct-19 .and it comes with an older version of firmware i.e.(3743) 
And currently, I am facing issues while connecting the board with Keil it is asking to update the firmware of nRF6310 with 4741 or later (Please update the firmware with nrfgo Studio).

And it gets filed while upgrading the firmware with firmware (7000) through nrfgo studio.

Please provide a solution to get out of this issue.

Hi

Can you provide some more details about the issues you see?

"And it gets filed while upgrading the firmware with firmware (7000) through nrfgo studio."

What do you mean by this? An error occurs during the firmware upgrade?

Also, I have to ask whether or not you are starting a new design based on the nRF24LE1 now?
This part is deprecated and not recommended for new designs. 

If you need ESB support the nRF52 series can also handle this by using the nrf_esb library. 

Best regards

thanx for a reply.

the issue was about to upgrade the firmware by nrfGO studio and update it by the procedure given below in the link.

and it's working now. And yes I am starting a new design based on the nRF24LE1.

And my requirement is that I need the cheapest RF transceiver embedded with the controller to communicate several devices with full-duplex communication

Hi 

It's good to hear you found the problem. 

That said, I don't think the nRF24LE1 is any cheaper in volume than the nRF52810 device, which is the low cost option in the nRF52 family. 

The nRF52810 has way more CPU performance, more memory, much lower average currents, lower BOM, smaller physical size, better peripherals, a significantly improved radio, better development tools and more. 

Also, the support we can provide for the nRF52 family is much better than what we can provide for the nRF24L series, which is used very rarely these days. 

In other words I would strongly suggest you reconsider your decision to base a new product on the nRF24LE1 ;)
