getting started with nRF5340DK

[bfge]

Hi , a day ago i recived my first dev board from nordic semiconductors, the nRF5340 . Until now I only coded for AtMega328 , esp32, esp8266 and other microcontrollers like this. My problem is even if readed all the day trough getting started guides and documentations and trying that heartrate project i realisticly don't know how to code for this development board. Can anyone guide me to the best pathway to learn to write code for this development board and how to upload it to the dev board.

Hi, 

You need to Install the nRF Connect SDK, and then you could build and program a sample application. For nRF5340, please be aware of building-and-programming-a-sample. 

This video also introduces how to build and program a sample. Enjoy!

If you have further questions regarding spi, please create a new support case. This is away from the original scope.
