How do I run SDK with arduino nano 33 ble board?

[schosdas]

Hello, everyone!

I have arduino nano 33 ble board.
I understand that this board contains nrf52840 and can be used in nrf sdk.  I will connect the debugger pin and J-link on the back of the board to make firmware available.

But I don't know what to do after that.  There are so many things I don't know yet, so I want to know the basics first. 

My goal is to use LSM9DS1 IMU sensor and BLE on this board.

What do I need to do to firmware on SDK with this board? 

I'd appreciate it if you could tell me more from the beginning!!

Are you familiar with firmware development in 'C' for any other microcontroller(s) ?

Are you familiar with software development in general ?

I would strongly suggest that you get the official Nordic nRF52840 Dev Kit:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF52840-DK

This comes ready-to-go, and the Nordic SDK examples, tutorials, etc, are written specifically for this board.

So get the Dev Kit, and use that to gain the basic familiarity with the product and the tools. Once you have that familiarity, you will be in a position to know how to move on to a 3rd-party board.

Indeed - the chip itself neither knows nor cares what board it is mounted on.
