Can the nRF52840 do both 802.15.4 and BLE in the same build?

[Robert Lasater]

Does Nordic have programming for the nRF52840 that enables both 802.15.4 and BLE, so the board can both become part of an 802.15.4 network and pair with a mobile device like an Android mobile telephone?

Hi,

Yes the radio of the nRF52840 supports both 802.15.4 and BLE, together with 802.15.4/BLE multiprotocol. Take a look at the nRF IEEE 802.15.4 radio driver:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nRF-IEEE-802.15.4-radio-driver

In the nRF5 SDK for Thread & Zigbee there are some examples for Zigbee/BLE and Thread/BLE multiprotocol, implemented by using the nRF IEEE 802.15.4 radio driver: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_tz_v4.1.0/ble_154_multiprotocol.html

Best regards,
