Hi,

Note that Regional Sales Managers are employees of Nordic Semiconductor who are responsible for a geographic area. If you need to contact the one for your area, you can send a private message or create a private ticket, and we will provide the contact details. (That is, they are not third parties.)

Regards,
Terje

Hi,

Your assumptions regarding changing board are correct. In nRF5 SDK, changing to a different board is done by changing a header file (board file) into the correct configuration of pins, etc. for the new board.

Regarding the production stage, usually one would outsource to a production facility. In some instances one would send the SoCs via a third party for programming, or program the devices after production. For the latter one must have programming pins available and use a J-Link programmer, or in advance have programmed a DFU solution onto the SoC.

Our main recommendation is SES. We used Keil as main IDE in the past, hence the amount of (older) documentation using Keil.

I would definitely use the SDK. It is developed with efficiency in mind, and also it is well tested and has workarounds for erratas.

For learning materials, see e.g. the short range guides here on DevZone.

For future proofing you might want to look into nRF Connect SDK / documentation / guides, which is our new SDK. nRF52 is supported in nRF Connect SDK and has a long life in front of it still, so I would not be worried starting an nRF52 project today.

For further questions regarding production stage (what possibilities you have there, contact info for third parties, etc.) please contact our regional sales manager for your area. If you do not know who that is, please let me know in a private message or ask in a private ticket and we will let you know. The same goes for future plans and product longevity.

Regards,
Terje
