nrf5340 dk

peterpolet

Bought 2 nRF5340 DK kits from Mouser.  Followed the setup instructions and fell at the first hurdle. Attached NF antenna, connected to USB and switched on.

Nothing. Green LED came on near the PCA10095 chip but no pulsing LED 1 or any other. Have wasted 4 days searching the documentation and internet to try to find a solution and found nothing of any use at all. So - either I have two defective boards or (more likely) am doing something wrong. Either case is not confidence inspiring - why should I struggle with this when I can develop on my other option from ST which works - even if it is more difficult to set up.

Where do I find anything vaguely useful in resolving the issue of not even being able to get the board connectin wo Windows 10 - complete wate of my time and very disappointing

    Hi,

    Finally got it connected - but I'm afraid the whole experience of trying to do anything with the nRF5340 is just too difficult so I'm reverting back to using ST components and development kits. You website and documentation is all very nicely presented and slick, but unfortunately of no use whatsoever in actually finding out and setting up a dev kit for the first time. You simply get directed round and round - I can't find one single example of how to get something runing end-to-end - not even blinky. Sorry, just too difficult - and if it takes me days and is incredibly frustrating even just to get going I'll simply use something else. So - looks like £90 down the drain for 2 nrf5340 and about a week of wasted effort - I had hoped to find an improvment to ST dev kits - sadly this definitiely isn't it. Lesson learned.

    Best regards
