nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo upgrade to nRF Connect SDK

[adnankhalid]

Hello,

I am new to the microcontroller development club and have recently obtained a nRF52 DK kit. I am using the new nRF Connect SDK and have the Arducam OV5642 camera module.

I need to integrate the camera module with the nRF52 board. The nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo (github.com/.../nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo) seems like the right place to start but the code base is developed with older SDKs and IDEs.

Is there a plan to upgrade the code base to the newer nRF Connect SDK? This will immensely help with development.

Please advise. 

Thanks!

Adnan

Hi, 

The example is cretated by my colleague many yeas ago instead of an official example, so I am afraid there is no upgrade for NCS. For any plan and request, please contact your regional sales manager. You can also use the "Sales related questions" query here to get in touch with a regional sales manager:

Hello Amanda,

Thank you for getting back to me on this. I understand that there is no planned upgrade. From the old sample code, I have managed to figure out that there are 3 main sections to the overall application:

1) nRF52 DK BLE Code

2) Arducam Code

3) Android Code

The Arducam code and the Android code I can figure given enough time. However the nRF52 DK BLE code upgrade to NCS is the challenge. Is there a sample or tutorial that I can use to get started on that front? This way I can work concurrently on the BLE and Arducam code on NCS. Does that make sense? Any help, guidance, code sample will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Adnan

Hi, 

Since the main. c and project files of nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo are overwritten with ble_app_uart from SDKv15, I think you can start from this Peripheral UART sample in NCS. 

The Android companion app can be found here:

As for Arducam Code, you need to contact with the provider.
