Porting nRF52832 with SDK 14.2.0 and SD 5.0 Application to nRF52833

I'm porting an application from nRF52832, SDK 14.2.0, SD 5.0 to nRF52833.

I want to do this in two stages:

1. As quickly as possible validate our first prototype board's peripherals: ADC, GPIO, PWM, Interrupts, I2C, SPI with the existing 14.2.0 & 5.0 even though some BLE capabilities may be unavailable. I could hold off on BLE and DFU testing during this board validation stage, since I trust Nordic has that working. Again rapid board validation is the goal.
2. Next update to the latest SDK & SD and get the bootloader, BLE, and DFU working.

I have had to patch both SDK 13 and SDK 14 source code in order to compile/link in the past and I'd like to be able to test the new board without having go go through that exercise again.

Will 14.2.0 / 5.0 work on the 833?

Hi Jeff,

Will 14.2.0 / 5.0 work on the 833?

No, only SDK 16.0.0 can support nRF52833.  Please see the SDKs and SoftDevices.

Amanda -

I've switched to SDK 16 for other reasons but I just want to point out that the SDK Download Page allows me to:

• Selected SDK 14.2.0
• Observed that the nRF52833 is supported in that particular SDK using either a specific v5 or v6 SoftDevice S140.
• Downloaded one SDK and two SDs
• Then I got stuck because there were no pca10100 folders in the example tree so I switched to 16.0.0

So we can close this. I'm going to open a ticket on the Laird BL653 DevKit next, the ...833 is the processor on that kit.

Thanks, Jeff
