Thank you Marte. I think it will be best to move to nRF Connect SDK, so I will try that.

RE: Thingy52 migration to nRF5 SDK V17.1.0

Hi,

[quote user=""]Is there any particular reason to migrate to the latest version (right now, looks like v17.1.0)?[/quote]

We do recommend using the latest release if possible, as they will have bug fixes and features not in previous releases. Version 13.0.0 is rather old, so I would not recommend using this, especially not for production. However, the Nordic Thingy:52 SDK differs somewhat from the regular nRF5 SDK, and there is no official support for Thingy:52 in the regular SDK.

My suggestion is to switch over to nRF Connect SDK, which is our latest SDK. This SDK has support for Thingy:52, and it will be much easier to add support for Thingy:52 in examples that are not supported out of the box than in nRF5 SDK. Additionally, nRF5 SDK is in maintenance mode, and will not receive new features, only bug fixes and support. You can find more information about nRF Connect SDK and getting started guides in the documentation, nRF Connect SDK. We also have an article regarding nRF Connect SDK vs nRF5 SDK which you can find here: nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement.

[quote user=""]Are there instructions on how to do it? [/quote]

We do have migration guides for migrating to newer versions of nRF5 SDK. Unfortunately, we do not have a guide going directly from v13.0.0 to v17.1.0, so you would have to go through the migration guides for each version. You can find these guides under Getting Started in the documentation for the different SDK versions, such as v14.0.0 Migration guide.

Best regards,

Marte
