nRF52833 and USB HID keyboard

[briskspirit9]

I was looking at nRF52833 as a candidate to use it as a BLE keyboard and USB keyboard (as it has USB2.0)

But in the API documentation section I see that HID keyboard is only available for 52840 chip only. Is there any particular reason why USB2.0 on 33 can't handle it? 

Thank you!

Hi

The nRF52833 is absolutely able to handle the BLE/USB keyboard applications, but these example projects have not been modified to support the nRF52833 as our SDK team has not had time to do sufficient testing with the newer SoCs (nRF52811, nRF52820, and nRF52833) to provide very many examples in the nRF5 SDKs for these SoCs. It should however, be quite simple to modify the nRF52840 example to be compatible with an nRF52833. Please check out our Developing for nRF52811 user guide to see how we modify examples to work on the nRF52811 for instance. Doing a similar approach where you switch out nRF52811 with nRF52833 and make sure the RAM and Flash memory addresses are correct should work similarly.

Best regards,

Simon

That's what I thought, thank you! But decided to ask to make it clear for me and others ;)
