Hi Sunil

You're seeing these errors because you're trying to use the S332 SoftDevice, which is a SoftDevice made for ANT. The ANT SoftDevices for the nRF52 Series are not distributed by Nordic Semiconductor, and you'll have to download them from thisisant.com. The SDK does not include header files for the ANT SoftDevices, as these must be added to your project before you can compile, build, and run your application. To do so, extract the downloaded zip file containing the SoftDevice and copy the SoftDevice headers to .../components/softdevice/S332/headers.

If you want an example running out of the box you'll have to use one of Nordic's SoftDevices (S112 and S132 are compatible with the nRF52832DK).

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

is ANT+ is work like different protocol

what is the difference between BLE and ANT, 802.15.4, Thread, Zigbee

these will work in nrf52832

Hi Sunil

Yes, ANT/ANT+ is another protocol than BLE. You can read up on ANT on their home page. BLE is the Bluetooth Low Energy standard, which is the most used and well-known standard for connection.

Zigbee and Thread are both just available with the nRF52840, and you can get an overview of these protocols here. 802.15.4 is the physical layer that all these protocols are based on, and in this context, describes any other proprietary protocols also using the 802.15.4 physical layer.

Best regards,

Simon
