nRF52 dev board PCA10040 and nRF52_SDK_0.9.1_3639cc9

[rugarcia]

I have the nRF52 dev board "PCA10040". I downloaded "nRF52_SDK_0.9.1_3639cc9" SDK.

I noticed that there is no installer for the SDK. I unzipped the SDK and using Keil 5.16a I was able to open the "blinky" project, built it and downloaded it to the nRF52 dev board "PCA10040". It is working.

I want to download and run a soft device from one of the examples. Is there anything that I have to do to make sure this works correctly? I know that there is another SDK board "PCA10036" and was wondering if there needs to be a new board definition file to be able to run the same SDK projects on two different boards. My understanding is that there are slight differences between the two.

Thanks, Rudy

In general PCA10040 board is pin compatible with PCA10036 regarding buttons, LEDs and uart and because of that almost all examples that are in 0.9.1 SDK will work. There is one thing that will not work and these are NFC examples. We are working on 0.9.2 SDK that will have NFC examples also for PCA10040. It should be out soon.

Ok, thanks for the update. I did want to test NFC but I guess I will have to wait. Will I have to periodically check the web site or will I receive a notification when 0.92 is available?

If you add nRF52832 to My Products on your MyPage at nordicsemi.com you should get an email when a new SDK is released.
