Hi Jack,

They should work for demo purposes, but they are not intended to be put into production no.

Best regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth.

So to make sure I understand clearly, are you saying that the demo files that I downloaded from the nRF52840 DK downloads page will NOT work on the nRF52840 DK ?

Thanks,

Jack

These hex files are old hex files that was used demo purposes early on, I can see they are 4 years old. The softdevices that are qualified to be used with the nRF52840 are listed here:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/comp_matrix_nrf52840/COMP/nrf52840/nrf52840_ble_qdid_qual_matrix.html

For development I suggest to check out:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/struct_sdk/struct/sdk_nrf5_latest.html

There you can also find the latest code for proximity and heartrate.

Best regards,
