Difference between PCA10001 & PCA10028

[Brajesh]

Hi,

I'v a query regarding the two development boards PCA10001 & PCA10028.

I have worked on a project with development kit PCA10001 and made the release to customer (the binaries only). I have used S110 Softdevice and multilink example as base Code.

The problem is this dev board is reported either Out of Stock OR Obsolete by all Distributors. Customer is at Remote location.

I have ordered PCA10028 from this link as it is having same Chipset.

Now My question is whether both my binaries would work on this Development kit cause i don have time remaining to change the Code according to new board and test and then release it again.

My assumption is since Chipset is same only difference remaining is Clock. For PCA10001 I was using "NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_500_PPM". Would the same work for PCA10028.

& Apart from this what are the other changes which could create problems ??

The blog link you found from Oyvind is a very nice and with correct settings. Regarding the commen from David about the discontinuation of EK. EK stands for Evaluation kit, they contain older revisions and with known Product ANamolies PAN (workaround for which has been implemented in SDK and SD). DK is development kits and there are much fewer PANs in DK. So it is a good thing for you and your code should work fine on DK. If you have any problems running your code, we are always here to help, but i am quite sure that there will be no problems :)

Thanks Aryan for the clarification. Will get back to you once i have DK boards with me tomorrow

Aryan, I was referring to your earlier comments and i have a doubt as you mentioned "If your software worked in 51822(BLE only) then it is OK to use 51422(BLE+proprietary stacks)".

Here "proprietary stacks" is some other stack for nRF51422 ?? Cause i have used S130 Softdevice and planning to use same for nrf51422 as well . Any issues ??

[Susheel Nuguru]

There will be no issues. Just using S130 means it is just BLE, so its a simple use case that the chip nrf51422 will surely fulfill

Thanks Aryan, as you said changing iRAM settings made all the example code to work on this board.

Thanks Brajesh
