 I have a few questions regarding nRF5 SDK and nRF Connect SDK. 
 I have previously used nRF5 SDK for two years, with and without freeRTOS. We might be making a new product with nRF52840 SoC.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Will Nordic continue to support the nRF52 Series with the nRF SDK and Soft devices?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We recently released a statement on nRF5 SDK and nRF Connect SDK, which answers this and many other questions you may have:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/nrf-connect-sdk-and-nrf5-sdk-statement"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/nrf-connect-sdk-and-nrf5-sdk-statement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Having said that,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;my second question&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is that how much is Zephyr RTOS tied with the main nRF Connect SDK? I have yet to explore more documentation, but I would like to know that is it possible to use SDK features with and wihout Zephyr RTOS, based on requirements?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nRF Connect SDK is 100% tied to Zephyr RTOS and cannot function without it. None of the nRF Connect SDK features are available without Zephyr RTOS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
