Upgrade nrf8001 to nRF5x

[tomrod]

Hi, i must change IC nrf8001 to IC nRF5x. Is there an easy way to do this? I need the same same protocol of nrf8001 running on nRF5x for compatibility but with the possibility to use eventually more features of bluetooth 5.

Best Regards

They are fundamentally different in all regards. So for new development you will need to start from scratch in terms of development, you should look at the nRF5 SDK: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/struct_sdk/struct/sdk_nrf5_latest.html

OK, but is there a possibility to use softdevice and serialization solution to do this with nRF52 series?

If you still want a two-chip solution (3rd party MCU + nRF) then that is possible yes. However the api and serialization you are familiar with from the nRF8001 does not resemble in any way unfortunately.
