LE Audio on nrf52840

[Jash]

Hello,

I was looking for solutions to LE Audio and came across nrf5340. Later on diving deep into this I found that nrf52840 SOC also has BLE 5.3. So, my query was can nrf52840 be used to develop LE Audio applications?

I have also noticed the nrf52840 LE Audio Development kit, so I guess using nrf52840 SOC, I should be able to develop LE Audio applications. If so, what SDK support do I need to download?

Hi Jash,

We have an example for the LE audio application in which a brief description on all of the concepts and steps involved are explained.. This sample can be used as a base to start developing.. Kindly take a look at this documentation: https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/main/applications/nrf5340_audio/README.rst 

The nRF5340 Audio DK has the codec chip CS47L63 and by default uses LC3 codec.. you can also switch to use SBC codec by changing a few configurations..

Regards,

Hello Swathy,

I have a doubt from codec point of view.  Is CS47L63 a codec chip or DSP chip. My image for codec is that it is completely handled from the software side. Does it require hardware?

Any help will be appreciated :)
