nRF connect SDK vs nRF5 SDK

Hi,

 I am developing a project related to transferring audio in low energy Bluetooth. I came across nrf connect sdk is the best one for LE Audio transmission 

But I am familiar in nrf5 SDK to do custom services, DFU, custom bootloader.

My question is

1. How nRF connect SDK is differ from nRF5 SDK?

2. Is nRF5340 DK  work with nrf5 SDK?

3. For LE Audio transmission in Bluetooth nrf5 sdk is best or nrf connect sdk is best?

    1. The nRFConnect SDK is a set of open source projects maintained by Nordic Semiconductor, consisting of several repositories. Please see this link for more information on the nRF Connect SDK. Some of the biggest changes is that NCS is based on the Zephyr RTOS, which is the biggest diference between the nRF5 SDK. I would also suggest checking out the nRFConnect SDK Tutorial Series here on DevZone to get started with NCS.

    2. No. The nRF5 SDK is restricted to the nRF51 and nRF52 series devices. You will have to use the NCS in order to develop for nRF53.

    3. We don't have any LE Audio transmission example projects as of yet in any SDKs. But when we do, this example and the drivers/libraries will be added to NCS, and not the nRF5 SDK. So I would suggest looking at the NCS.

    Best regards,

  • Hi ,

      As your guidance I have gone through nRF Connect SDK and I have build the peripheral_lbs and able to run the project in nRF52832 DK. Few doubts in this project creation

    1. During advertising Led1 get blinking in some duration after device connected led2 states On but led1 still blinking and also I can't able to were i need to control this led. On compare with nRF5 SDK, nRF Connect SDk is fully kernel based codes isn't it?

    2. I want to create a project to link multiple services like HID-Keyboard, NUS service together. and also want to build custom services as like in nrf5 SDK is it possible

    3. How to create the custom project with custom board in nrf52. I have followed this video link.

        But i given for nRF91 board even though I tried to replicate the nRF52832 DK board as CUS832 but i can't able to open the project file based on this custom board . Here I attach the zip file and images for your reference

    cus832.zip
