nRF21540 implementation on a nRF52840 without OS

[Dominik Eugster]

Hi

I'm looking for an example implementaion code on the nRF52840 without an operating system. Is there some example or application note?

I connected the SPI and all IO Pins. I have no Zephyr code.

Hold on

This one said "nRF Connect SDK" a bit ago. Did you change it?

All the information I told you since that message has been relevant for the nRF Connect SDK, and will not work for the nRF5 SDK.
See the nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement for the difference between the SDKs.

Please check carefully which SDK you are using, and inform me of the version so I can assist you best with your issue.
I am done with my workday now, so I will continue helping on this case tomorrow.

Yes, I am working with the nRF5_SDK and the softdevice, I edit the post in the same minute after posting the first time, sorry

I think I have to use this interface? Mesh PA/LNA interface

Hi

It seems like we do not have any specific example for using the nRF21540 with the nRF5 SDK for Mesh.

However, using the PA/LNA interface you linked should work, the nRF21540 is a Front-end module with RF PA and LN after all.
If you use this along with the nRF21540 Product Specification, my guess is that it will work.

Ok,. thanks for information, I will try to implement it. to control the nRF21540 I will implement the SPI instructions manually. Is there a reference for all commands/registers which I can use over the SPI?

I am checking the Chip ordering codes (I bought 2500 Chips from Digikey in January) and hope that they are not affected with the Errata problems. In case they are, what can I do? Send them to Nordic?

The Errata you mention is for Revision 1.
Try to ask DigiKey if they know which revision of the 21540 you receive.

If they are the revision 1, I can not help you with that. Either contact the Nordics sales manager in your region or Digikey about it in that case.
