ANT development on the nRF52 dk

[tsmith2456]

I am trying to develop an application using ANT on the 52805, I have purchased the nRF52 DK as this was the recommended development kit for this device but there seems no way to develop for ANT on this development kit. What is the recommended way to develop ANT applications on thenRF52805?

Please see here how to convert an example that is setup for the nRF52832 (pca10040 for the nRF52-DK in the nRF5 SDK) to the nRF52805:

Hi Kenneth, thank you, I will give the instructions in the post a try, I hope I don't run into the issues contained in the comments below the post...

Do I need to purchase a KEIL MDK license to compile the examples? The post mentions needing this:

• Keil MDK (nRF_DeviceFamily) v8.34.1 or newer

Or can I use another compiler? Or does the above only concern those using the Keil MDK? I was planning on using the SES.

There is no need for Keil no, I agree that line if misleading. I suggest to use Segger Embedded Studio:
