The Zephyr Project RTOS
The Zephyr Project RTOS is a recent effort by the Linux Foundation to provide the embedded world with a free, secure and fully-featured Real Time Operating System. It is designed from the ground up to be a modern, scalable, s...
It´s exciting to see that our friends at Sony Mobile Research and Incubation have released a desktop application called Otii, which supports our Power Profiler Kit.
The beta version of the Otii application is cross platform and runs on Windows, Linu...
The challenge
As a product is getting into the production phase, the need of a fast and standalone screening facility on the production line arises. Here I'm introducing a production screening setup based on Bluetooth Direct Test Mode (DTM).
What ...

Welcome to this 2 or 3-part blog about the nRF52 Rocket, a BLE-enabled model rocket, which you’ve just seen soaring through the air in the video above. In the first part of blog, I will briefly introduce what model rocketry is ...
BLE is native supported on Android from v4.3. It has been continuously improved as Android evolving. It's getting more and more complex with additional features. It's important that a Bluetooth app should work smoothly on all Android versions, from 4...
nRF-connect-Mesh PC tool allows the user to demonstrate the nRF OpenMesh and the Mesh Device Firmware Update (DFU).
The Mesh DFU will be used for nRF OpenMesh and the Bluetooth Mesh when it is made available.
The nRF OpenMesh used is v0.8.7. The to...
Many developers might be familiar with the problems that may arise when wanting to measure current consumption, especially with applications using from a couple of µA to some mA. You most probably have to have some very expensive equipment that takes...

Introduction
We at Norwegian Creations work out of the coworking space DIGS in Trondheim. In our office, we have a coffee maker capable of making large amounts of cof...
The ultra simple to use pxt editor for Microbit (https://pxt.microbit.org/) supports sending data using the nRF51822 radio. The tool supports using both BLE and proprietary protocols.
For this project that I did with my kids I used the proprietary...
mROBerTO (milli-ROBot-TOronto) is a small modular millirobot designed and implemented for swarm robotics research. It was first featured in the 2016 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS). It consists of an nRF5142...
Hi. I'll introduce "neoFlash" produced by Mobilian.
neoFlash is whole new BLE development toolkit & production solution.
With this solution you can design, implement your idea and produce your target product.
neoFlash is composed of ...
Hi I followed this Blog post on how to use Segger embedded studio(SES) to compile nrf5 examples and got into some truble with the newest version of SES v3.10c. And this blog post will tell how I solved the problem. I have not tried flashing the comp...
Working on fast calculation of CRCs I have an algorithm which uses a precalculated fixed lookup table to process data 1 byte at a time generating a 32-bit CRC. The calculation it's actually doing if the current CRC is C and the next byte is b is
C =...
nRF5 SDK v12.0 is now available for Nordic developers to download and use in their designs. We’ve added quite a few things this time around to help you, the big story however is the production grade introduction of secure OTA-DFU with signing.

Note: Many things have changed since I wrote this article, in particular for Zephyr and Arm Mbed. The information is outdated and the article is mainly of historical interest.
Regarding the choice Nordic Semiconductor has made one as you might know: ...
Smart Remote 3 for nRF52 setting a new standard for voice input features and ultra-low power performance in smart remote controls
Nordic Semiconductor has recently released the latest member of their reference design for next generation smart remo...
Nordic Semiconductor already provides reference designs for Altium Designer (R), but if you prefer EAGLE here is a quick guide on how to use the EAGLE reference design.
This quick guide assumes you are familiar with doing PCB designs in EAGLE, other...
In a previous blog post, RK has shown us how to use Segger SystemView to monitor a bare-metal application as well as the Softdevice. Based on his work, we will see how to go further and add FreeRTOS to SystemView in order to monitor the RTOS tasks an...
It is exciting to see that in the release of Android Nougat, in addition to 72 new emojis, support for Bluetooth pairing with NFC using the out-of-band (OOB) method is included. By utilizing NFC pairing on Android Nougat, you can avoid the need to ty...
Hey!
Wanted to tell you about this free J-Link upgrade for the BBC micro:bit.
With the firmware upgrade your micro:bit DAPLink will be transformed into a J-Link OB (on board), while still maintaining the Drag and Drop capabilities that developers c...
Hey!
We received 20pcs of a developer edition of the Arduino Primo from Arduino SRL, and we would like to share those with the best and most committed developers on Devzone, before they go on sale!
Have you heard about the Arduino Primo board? It i...
