NRF SDK

[orkunsengur]

Hello, I am trying to use open-thread with NRF52840. There are two different SDK one of them is NRF-SDK for Thread and Zigbee and other one NRF-Connect. Nordic recommends to use second one.

NRF-SDK for Thread and Zigbee, includes peripheral modules but I couldnt find them in the NRF-Connect SDK 1.6.1. Also, I don't want to use NRF-Connect application. It forces me to use Zephry RTOS. I just want to use peripheral modules and FreeRTOS by using SEGGER.

What should I do? Where is the peripheral modules (gpio, timer, adc, pwm etc.) in NRF-Connect SDK?

Hi,

nRFx driver for peripherals is still available in NCS. Please take a look at the nrfx use example if you are unsure on how to you can use the nRFX APIs in the Zephyr context.

NRF SDK for Thread and Zigbee is currently in the maintenance stage, there will be no major update in the future. For your new OpenThread development, I strongly suggest you switch to NCS since it is actively improved with the Thread1.2 release.

If you satisfy with the current NRF SDK for Thread and Zigbee and FreeRTOS on your development, it is OK to keep this track.

Best regards,

Charlie

Firstly my purpose is to use nRFx driver without Zephry. How can I create a new project with nRF drivers (belong to NCS) ?

NCS is based on the Zephyr Project which includes building systems and many other libraries like Zephyr OS. An NCS project is basically a Zephyr project.
