Need Zepher RTOS porting support for nRF52840 Based Application.

Hi Team,

We build the bare application with nRF52840 Soc with the SDK Version 16 with out any RTOS Layer. We are planning to port our code base to Zepher RTOS layer.

We need the support for basic porting, like any Reference example or any documentation for porting is helpful to us. Please support us for seem less porting without giving any integration issues.

Regards,

  • Hi Srinivas

    I'm afraid that there won't really be feasible to port an nRF5 SDK application to the nRFConnect SDK, as just about everything is different between the two SDKs. You would rather have to reimplement the application you have in the nRF5 SDK in an nRFConnect SDK project. You can check out an overview of the differences between the two SDKs here. What's the reason you'd like to move to the nRFConnect SDK?

  • Hi Simonr,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The primary reason is to get the AOA & AOD support and BLE 5.2 Features, but the nRFConnect SDK examples are built on Zepher RTOS.

    That is the reason we are asking the Zepher porting support document or any easy porting steps from scratch. Any getting started document available that is very much helpful to us.

  • Hi again

    The nRF Connect SDK already have Direction Finding support (AoA), and BLE 5.2 features will be added when ready as well. The features past BLE 5.0 will only be added to the nRF Connect SDK (for details read this statement).

    You can check out I.E. the direction finding beacon and locator sample projects in nRFConnect SDK here.

  • HI Simonr,

    Thanks for giving the reply.

    We need more support on Zephyr layers to port our Bare metal Project to Zephyr Rtos Based one.

    Please guide us the Porting steps or any poring guide which will understand by layman perspective.It is very helpful to us while porting the stuff. We are completely new to the OS, we are unable to kickoff this porting activities.

    If you would guide us the way to easy port our project to Zephyr based one.

    Thanks & Regards,

  • Hi Srinivas

    I would strongly recommend you to use our nRFConnect SDK which contains several libraries on top of Zephyr, made specifically for the nRF series. And it will likely be easier to start over in NCS than trying to port a project to the Zephyr RTOS. Unfortunately we don't have much info on porting, as it's not very straight-forward to do so as far as I know. You can take a look around in the Zephyr project library to see if you can find more on using bare-metal projects with the Zephyr-RTOS.

    Best regards,

    Simon
