What Shall I choose Zephyr or nRF connect SDK

I am using the nRF 52840dk board and I am new to nRF, I had worked on Cypress CYBLE & CYBT-343026-01. I am starting my development for basic BLE transmit, eventually, I am going to add different types of I2C and SPI-based sensors to it. My main intention after developing is that it should consume very less current and backup should be good. I want to ask whether I should choose Zephyr or nRF SDK to go ahead. or both will be performing the same in terms of current consumption?

Thanks and regards,

  • hello Neeraj

    here is what I think: The main goal of the nRF Connect SDK is to simplify the process of bringing a product to market. Simple sample applications can be used by customers to build a simple proof of concept, then a prototype and finally a finished product.

  • Hi Neeraj

    I see no reason not to go for the nRF Connect SDK when developing Nordic products, as an install of the nRFConnect SDK allows you to also use "pure" Zephyr example projects and drivers as well. The nRFConnect SDK is just "on top" of Zephyr. The nRFConnect SDK provides specific drivers and libraries made for nRF devices, which likely makes development easier than if you're only using Zephyr. There should not be a notable difference between the two in terms of current consumption in a power optimized end product.

    Best regards,
