supporting distance measuring code in nrf52 sdk

[eleven-x_devteam]

Hi, 

Recently, I've tested the distance meauring feature with nrf connect sdk sample and 2 DKs. (https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.1.1/nrf/samples/bluetooth/nrf_dm/README.html)

And I want to try to test it on my custom board with just adding the feature to my current fw code to see the communication between custom board and nordic DK so I wonder if it is available to use the distnce measuring code in the nrf52 sdk (do you have a sample code in the nrf52 SDK) or there is a plan to support the distance measuring in the nrf52 SDK.

Hi, 

The nRF Distance Measurement with Bluetooth LE discovery can support nRF52 DK, see Requirements section:

Hi Amanda,

Thank you for the quick answer.

My question is about S/W code.

Now it seems the S/W is available with only nrf connect SDK(www.nordicsemi.com/.../nrf-connect-sdk)

I wonder if it is available with nrf52 SDK such as (www.nordicsemi.com/.../nrf5-sdk)

Thank you.

Hi, 

Do you mean nRF5 SDK https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-software/nRF5-SDK? If so, unfortunately, it only supports NCS.

Ok, thanks for confirming and any plans to support it in nrf5 SDK?

[Amanda Hsieh]

Unfortunately, no. We are supporting the nRF5 SDK in maintenance mode now. This means that bug fixes and security updates will be available as needed. However, support for new features beyond Bluetooth LE 5 will not be added to the nRF5 SDK. The new features will be supported by NCS. See  nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement .
