any tutorial on latest connect SDK v1.80

[PingISTL]

Dear support

Just started to learning following the tutorial  here - https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/b/archives/posts/nrf-connect-sdk-tutorial---part-1-ncs-v1-3-0#h769sk6kqovea15p99jn16lstat1dtpuuw

Try to create a solution from scratch by following above tutorial - it is a good tutorial, but it is not up to date with latest SDK version v1.8.0, I am struggling to follow. it doesn't allow me to create a my own project called helloWorld like below in projects. 

I am new to Nordic SES and urgently need to develop something for our new gateway product which uses Fanstel833 chip.

Regards!

Hi, Hung

Thanks for getting back to me, I found the link on Getting started with nRF Connect SDK (nRF52 Series), on Page 15 in Debugging Chapter.. I am overwhelmed with loads of information and don't really know where to start and what tool to use. 

Thanks for pointing me with the new link.

I am trying to learn SES, but if you say VS is better, I will try to use that.

In terms of Zephyr OS, I suppose I have to use that too? 

I am new to embedded OS and Nordic, and we have chosen a Fanstel 833A chip for our product.

Regards!

Hi Ping, 

Yes Zephyr OS is the core of the nRF Connect SDK. When you use any example in the nRF Connect SDK it will use Zephyr OS as it's core RTOS. 
I would agree that the learning curve for getting started with nRF Connect SDK is steep but many of our customers found it's very powerful and convenient for development large project once you get used to it.

Hi Ping, 

I assume  you have a nRF52832 Development kit ?  You can use it to get familiar with the toolchain before you develop your firmware for Fanstel module. 
But if you want to test all the feature of the Fanstel (nRF52811) on a DK i would suggest to use nRF52840 DK.  Please have a look here.
The nRF52832 doesn't support Long Range , nor direction finding.

Thanks, Hung

I see, yes, I use nRF52DK_nRF52832 board. I suppose I can use it to program/debug the Fanstel 833A board, is this right?

Regards!

Hi Ping, 

Yes, correct. You can use the nRF52 DK to program and debug the Fanstel board. Given that you power the Fanstel board with 3.3V.

The nRF52DK can't program the external board if the external board powered by 1.8V only 3.3V supported.

Hi, Hung

Just try to check the PSU - it looks like can be powered by USB, I am not sure the supply voltage in this case. And also there are 2 USB ports there - J17 and J16, not sure which one to use. Also noticed there is external supply - 3V. Not sure how I am supposed to power it up in order to program and debug it. I am using EV BM833A board.

could you advise pleas?

Regards!

Hi, 
Please read the datasheet of the EV BM833A board.
