Regarding Bluetooth 5.1 Development board.

[Shubham Trivedi]

Hello team,

I want to work on the AoA and AoD features of Bluetooth 5.1 technology. I come across the device call nRF52840 DK. but I am confused about whether it serves my purpose. Can you please guide me to choose the correct development board in order to learn and develop the AoA and AoD feature of Bluetooth 5.1. It will be appreciated if you provide me any contact details of the local distributors in India. Thank you.

The nRF52840 does not have the AoA and AoA features. But the nRF52811 does have them but there is no official support for them in the SDK as of yet. Again, there is no Development Kit for the nRF52811 at the moment but it is pin compatible with the nRF52832. So what one can do is purchase a nRF52832 board, remove its IC and solder nRF52811 in its place and you would get a DK of nRF52811.

But then again nRF52811 supports AoA and AoD but there is no official SDK of it yet. If you want more information, use the Search the DevZone to see what the officials have said about this statement.
