nRF52 DK

Development kit for Bluetooth low energy, ANT

and 2.4GHz applications

The NFC module supports NFC-A tags with proximity detection

and Wake-on-field from low power mode. The NFC enables Out-

Of-Band Bluetooth pairing of devices and thus greatly simplifying

deployment.

Easy, fast and safe code development

The nRF52832 offers developers a clean separation between

application code development and embedded protocol stacks.

This means compile, link and run-time dependencies with the

embedded stack and associated de-bugging challenges are

removed. The Bluetooth low energy and ANT stack is a pre-

compiled binary available from Nordic Semiconductor, leaving

application code to be compiled stand-alone. The embedded stack

interface uses an asynchronous and event-driven model removing

the need for RTOS frameworks.

OTA DFU

The nRF52832 is supported by an Over-The-Air Device Firmware

Upgrade (OTA DFU) feature. This allows for in the field updates of

application software and SoftDevice.

Maximum re-use and easy migration

The nRF52832 have binary compatible peripherals with the nRF51

Series for most functions enabling easy migration between older

parts and the new nRF52 Series. The backwards compatibility of

most interfaces and the common SW architecture of the nRF51

Series S130 and the nRF52 Series S132 SoftDevices ensures that

existing codebase for the nRF51 Series can in very large parts be

re-used effortlessly on the nRF52 Series.

SoftDevices

The Nordic protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices and

complement the nRF52 Series SoCs. All nRF52 Series are

programmable with software stacks available from Nordic

Semiconductor. This brings maximum flexibility to application

development and allows the latest stack version to be programmed

into the nRF52 Series SoC.

Development tools

Nordic Semiconductor provides a complete range of hardware and

software development tools for the nRF52 Series devices.
