Hi,

Is the source-code available for the power profiler kit 2?

Hi Øyvind,

I was thinking for the PPK2 nrf firmware itself.

Wanted to understand how these are calibrated and possibly tweak some things for other use-cases.
let us know if you plan on publishing this

Hi David, 

Sorry, I do not have that information. Your RSM might be able to answer if we will release this.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Is there any information on this yet? I was looking to fabricate and assemble the PPK2 board and load the FW. I understand the HW is opensource, is the FW is aswell?

No, the PPK2 FW is Nordic closed source. It will not be possible to make copies as there is a lot of testing for calibration of each device required as well.

Isn't this the FW files I need github.com/.../pc-nrfconnect-ppk

[PaKa]

The source code is for the PC app. The FW files are hex files only, not source code. These are NOT enough to make a new PPK2 as there are features not part of this FW that are needed to make a PPK2. This information is also unique for each device so you need to run a full calibration run with specific test equipment to make it work.

Long explanation for no, it is not possible to build a PPK2 clone at home..

Ok I am convinced to buy a PPK2 now. But can you let me know if PPK3 is in pipeline to launch anytime soon? and is PPK2 still a good buy now?
