New Generation nRF51822s

[Jeremy]

The new generation of nRF51822's have a few neat new features, particularly the automatic power management piece, that I would like to potentially leverage in our project. Is there somewhere I can go to order a development board or dongle or something that I could be sure had the new chip on it so I could test our code? I can't imaging the update would break our existing firmware, but I can imagine myself messing up the implementation of the new stuff without a bit of trial and error.

Thanks! Jeremy

Are you talking about the new nRF52 series, the nrf52832? Since you say automatic power management it seems like you are.

The preview dev boards were available 2 minutes after the launch a few weeks ago, you can get them from whoever your usual supplier is. Just type nRF52 into the product search box of whichever one you use.

I was referring to the new 51822 chips where we should now be able to set the dc/dc converter to operate in automatic mode.

So any dev board I pick up from a supplier should be using the new chip? Do they recall to eliminate any old stock when a new version becomes available?
