Which OS has been ported on nRF52840 DK?

[Hardik Prajapati]

Hi Team,

I wonder the operating system which has been ported on nRF52840 DK, I found multiple IoT OS what nRF52840 supports like ARM mbed, Zephyr, Contiki, etc. But can you please help me on the query that which OS is been already ported when someone buys nRF52840 DK?

Thanks in advance,

Hardik Prajapati

Hi,

Many RTOSs are allready ported to the nRF52 devices, as you write. Most are ported by third parties. If you are looking for something that is supported by the SDKs provided by Nordic then you have FreeRTOS which is included  in nRF5 SDK and Zephyr which is supported in (and constitutes the core of) nRF Connect SDK.

Hi Einar,

Thanks for the prompt response.

I understood from your comments and now my question is, can we port the ARM mbed OS or Zephyr IoT OS on nRF52840 DK for openthread?

We as a developer want to explore a few things on Openthread with above mentioned IoT OS.

Thanks,

Hardik

But you've already said that you've found ports for mbed & Zephyr - so why would you want to port them again?

Nordic are already using Zephyr for the nRFConnect SDK:

Hardik Prajapati said:

can we port

Of course it is possible - as far as the RTOS is concerned, it's just another Cortex-M4.

Hi,

OpenThread is integrated into Zephyr, so you can use that via nRF Connect SDK. See Working with Thread for details.
