Programming Language For Nordic Microcontroller

[Johnny Lee]

Hi all

Will like to know what is the most suitable programming language to program Nordic Microcontrollers and do Nordic provide any software training for developers regarding this issue?

Thanks for answering my questions.

Nordic uses mostly C.  Internet community uses C/C++ or Micropython.

There are plenty of tutorial blog post and example source code provided by Nordic and Internet community.  On of such blog post for writing Bluetooth firmware with just a few lines of code embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.com/.../

Hi all

Thanks for your advice.

Will like to know the following:

(1) Who can recommend a company to make a microcontroller board if I want to design my own Nordic microcontroller                board  just like the Arduino board?

(2) Can I use Arduino IDE to program Nordic microcontroller? If not which IDE is best to use if I want to use C or C++ to              program the Nordic microcontroller board?

 (3) Which IDE is best if I want to use MicroPython and can load the program directly from the IDE to the Nordic                           microcontroller board just like what Arduino can do?

Thanks for answering my questions.

1) Are you looking for PCB Assembly house or Design house ? For custom design contact me via private message or contact www.i-syst.com.     

2) You can use Arduino IDE but it is very old SDK. Not recommended.  I personally prefer Eclipse with IOsonata library. 

3) I am not expert at Micropython but it is command line does not tight to any IDE. You can use any text editor for that purpose.  There are different way to load Micropython on the chip.  Normally using a JTAG probe such as the IDAP-Link.

I think you will have the best experience with the nRF52 SDK and Segger Embedded Studio which you can request a free license for when developing for a Nordic MCU.
