nRF connect SDK vs nRF5 SDK

[Sunil vignesh]

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?

Hi

Please check out this case which describes how to create a custom board file in the NCS/Zephyr/boards. The error you're seeing is likely caused by trying to open the project for a not supported board, and if so you need to add the board to the directory yourself.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simonr,

   I have done changes in board.cmake file

# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0

board_runner_args(nrfjprog "--nrf-family=NRF52")
board_runner_args(jlink "--device=nrf52" "--speed=4000")
board_runner_args(pyocd "--target=nrf52" "--frequency=4000000")
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/nrfjprog.board.cmake)
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/jlink.board.cmake)
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/pyocd.board.cmake)

Previously it was

# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0

board_runner_args(nrfjprog "--nrf-family=NRF52")
board_runner_args(jlink "--device=nrf52" "--speed=4000")
board_runner_args(pyocd "--target=nrf52" "--frequency=4000000")
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/nrfjprog.board.cmake)
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/jlink.board.cmake)
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/pyocd.board.cmake)
include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/openocd-nrf5.board.cmake)

only deleting this line

include(${ZEPHYR_BASE}/boards/common/openocd-nrf5.board.cmake)

NCS project is getting created and Build

is this the correct one ?

Is that need to create SOC folder for custom boards ?

Hi

It should be fine to leave out the openocd.cmake file indeed. It is only required for USB I think, which the nRF52832 doesn't have either way.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

  Is it possible to change the multiple boards in the NCS project file

like i have created the NCS project file nrf52dk_nrf52832

and also i have created a custom board BC832

but i can't able to change the boards as like nrf5 SDK in NCS

How to change the multiple board configuration in the same build project file?

[Simonr]

I'm not sure what you mean about "multiple board configuration". Either way, this case is no longer on the topic of "nRFConnect SDK versus nRF5 SDK" so I would suggest that you create a new ticket where you describe what you're trying to do and what you're having trouble with in detail. That will make cases for other DevZone users easier to navigate as well.

Best regards,

Simon
