RE: nRF5340 Netwrok Core and Application core

Hi,

Normally the applications involving radio communication and real-time processing tasks involving low-level radio protocol layers are used to flash onto the network core. The other samples are usually flashed onto the application core. But when I say flash onto the application core, it is not like the network core is not being used.

Ideally always the application core runs from the startup but this can start the network core too, as application core is responsible for starting the network core and connecting GPIO pins and code , which is why the application core should be programmed even if the firmware is to be run only on the network core. Take a look at the empty firmware.

You can read more about these in the Working with nRF5340-DK documentation.

Best Regards,

Priyanka
