Does the nrf5340 chip and/or SDK Support LE Audio and LC3 codec?

I have seen multiple posts about the nrf5340 that confuse me. Posts like this one say that the board/chip is not available yet, as of 4 days ago. But after looking through the Nordic website, I found both the chip for sale and the sdk for sale below:

And I was able to get both of these items in a cart to buy from DigiKey.

https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/nordic-semiconductor-asa/NRF5340-QKAA-AB0-R7/11200028

So it looks like they ARE available? Is this a different version of the nrf5340 that doesn't support LE audio and LC3 codec? What would I be buying if I purchased these from DigiKey?

  • Hello,

    I have seen multiple posts about the nrf5340 that confuse me. Posts like this one say that the board/chip is not available yet, as of 4 days ago.
    But after looking through the Nordic website, I found both the chip for sale and the sdk for sale below:

    You seem to have confused information about the SoC / Chip (nRF5340), the nRF5340 Development Kit (DK), and a dedicated platform ( DK / SDK ) for audio development. Simon's answer in the ticket linked by Overbekk still stands, but you may purchase both the nRF5340 DK and the nRF5340 SoC on its own, if you would like to. We however have not published any LE Audio development material yet.

    So it looks like they ARE available? Is this a different version of the nrf5340 that doesn't support LE audio and LC3 codec? What would I be buying if I purchased these from DigiKey?

    The nRF5340 SoC and accompanying DK is available. The nRF5340 is compatible with BLE 5.2, and it is our recommended SoC for LE Audio development, however we have yet to publish any material on how you should proceed with this. I strongly recommend that you contact your local RSM if you have questions about how to proceed with this.

    As a closing statement, I must say as my colleague Simon in the ticket you reference in your post - We do not discuss future releases and roadmaps here on DevZone, and if you have questions about this you would have to direct them to your Regional Sales Manager (RSM). If you do not know who your RSM is, please send me a personal message with your location, so I may provide you with their contact info.

    Best regards,
    Karl
