From the SDK Release Notes for nRF5 SDK v13.0.0, they state - The following SDK features are not supported on the new nRF52840 chip yet: - FreeRTOS. Do you have a scheduled date for including that support?

nRF5 SDK v13.0.0

Release Date: Week 11, 2017

Highlights:

  • Implemented a new license scheme for the SDK distribution. See the documentation folder for details.
  • Updated the Bluetooth and ANT examples to support the newest SoftDevices S132 v4.0.2, S140 v5.0.0-2.alpha, and S212 v4.0.0.
  • Included a new 804.15.4 stack library with an example.
  • Released the Eddystone example and the NFC Type 4 Tag stack in production quality.
  • Added workarounds for the nRF52832 anomaly 109 (DMA: DMA access transfers might be corrupted).
  • Added serialization of the ANT S212 SoftDevice v4.0.0 (experimental).
  • Added an example showing secure DFU with UART transport layer.
  • This release does not support nRF51.
  • This release does not support the S332 SoftDevice.

The following toolchains/devices have been used for testing and verification:

  • ARM: MDK-ARM version 5.18a
  • GCC: GCC ARM Embedded 4.9 2015q3
  • IAR: IAR Workbench 7.60.2

Supported SoftDevices:

  • S132 v4.0.2
  • S140 v5.0.0-2.alpha
  • S212 v4.0.0

Supported boards:

  • PCA10040
  • PCA10056 (limited support; see the "Scope for the nRF52840 chip" section)
  • Dynastream's D52DK1 (only for ANT examples)

For other devices and boards, see the SDK documentation, section "Using the SDK with other boards".

*** Scope for the nRF52840 chip


All examples and libraries for the new chip must be treated as experimental. Some examples have not been ported to run on nRF52840. Check the existing example projects to see which targets are supported.

The following SDK features are supported on the new nRF52840 chip:

  • New 804.15.4 stack library with an example
  • Most BLE, hardware peripheral, and NFC examples (with some exceptions; see the available example projects for details)
  • Peripheral HAL and drivers (both for existing and new peripherals)
  • Cryptography library including CryptoCell CC310 backend
  • NFC Type 2 Tag and Type 4 Tag
  • Secure DFU (only with micro-ecc backend)
  • Serialization of the S140 SoftDevice v5.0.0-2.alpha with UART

The following SDK features are not supported on the new nRF52840 chip yet:

  • ANT
  • DTM
  • ESB and Gazell
  • FreeRTOS
  • Eddystone
