nRF5340 Development Without Zephyr

[Zoltan Mayer]

Our organization is evaluating nRF5340 for future connected products. We are working with a proprietary OS and using the Zephyr RTOS on the Application core is not a viable option for us. (Using the Zephyr BLE Controller on the Network core is viable.)

What options will be available for Bluetooth Low Energy development without Zephyr on nRF5340? In other words, what RTOS-agnostic BLE host stacks will be available for the nRF5340?

---

In general, will there be completely "Zephyrless" drivers and libraries available for the nRF53 series?

Hello, 

In general, will there be completely "Zephyrless" drivers and libraries available for the nRF53 series?

 At this moment, no. For a "zephyrless" solution your best approach will be with the nRFX library, as we do not have any other BLE hosts than Zephyr.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind,
Thank you for your reply and happy new year!

I'm still wondering about Bluetooth Low Energy development on nRF5340 without Zephyr. Will Nordic provide an RTOS agnostic BLE host stack in the future?

Hello, 

Happy New Year to you, too!

I'm sorry, I do not know what the future will bring. For questions regarding our road maps, please contact your local RSM. If you do not know who this is, please send me a DM with your location. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind
