How to learn to interface with the Nordic SDK

Hello, 

I'd like to know how to interface with the SDK libraries(as a "beginner") and ask how do you approach such a thing and learn how to use it? let's take for example the simple PPI or GPIOTE library:

How should I know what Do I have to setup in advance what the library sets up by default, what each instance realy means and so on, so where to leach it (and how) and no just saying "Nordic info center" doesn't help at all because this "place" along with the mostly pointless and outdated tutorials there is just a scrambled egg.

thanks for helping!

  • Hi,

    A good starting point would be the GPIOTE example from the SDK, which shows how you use the library and setup a GPIOTE example. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by scramble of eggs, as the infocenter along with the SDK examples should contain enough information to get started with the libraries. 

    regards

  • He means that (obviously) the infocenter and examples are inadequate to properly learn and understand the Nordic SDK. It's far too complex to merely scout the infocenter and examples. At the most this way of learning is extremely cumbersome and far from ideal, which I strongly agree with (even as an Embedded Software Engineer). Are there any plans to make any proper in-depth video tutorials that covers the SDK material? As probably the best BLE chip makers, Nordic would heavily gain from this I'm sure, as it would make the Nordic chips much more accessible to more people than just the extremely competent senior Embedded Software Engineers.
