https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/5407/is-it-possible-to-use-nrf51822-as-a-ble-receiverI was considering the following possibility, using an nrf51882 module or another module to receive ble advertisements. I&#39;m pretty sure this is possible.

But maybe some Nordic employee could pipe in. As far as I see you could use pretty much everything as application board, even a PC. All you need in a reliable link, e.g. UART or SPI. - I have not looked into it yet, but the <a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-Smart-Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF51-IoT-SDK">Nordic IoT SDK</a> might inspire you further</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/18881?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Feb 2015 13:55:08 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8dc532af-fc96-4512-828a-c130f1df44cdFormerMember<p>Thanks, that seems to be the way to go. It seems I need two boards and to connect them together. Do you have any recommendations for development boards etc... so I can try out the sample code.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/18878?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Feb 2015 09:38:40 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c0f8f60e-4901-4256-8ccb-7c543944b58dAle<p>Check out the <a href="http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF51_SDK/doc/7.2.0/s120/html/a00056.html">Serialization framework</a>.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
