NRF5 SDK Support

andrelongo85 · May 4, 2019, 8:15am

Hi There,

I have an NRF52 project which has been built using the official NRF5_SDK from Nordic (version 15). I would like to port it on Platformio. How should i do it?
Will Paltformio add NRF5_SDK framework support any time soon?

Is there a manual way to integrate the NRF5 SDK with the current Platformio Core?

Thanks a lot!

BTW I am new to platformio but I really like it, I want to port all my projects!

Just FYI, I’m in the process of porting it as a community project; no idea about official plans. BTW what exact board do you have?

We have support for arduino and mbed frameworks, but would like to investigate s…upport for using nordics nrf5 sdk (hals/drivers, etc). I think I understand about 80% of what needs to be done, but may need some help on polishing, patching, and packaging. Curious how many folks would be interested in such an effort? Related question would be if it is possible for a user/board to specify a certain revision of the framework (sdk). Reason being is that nrf51 devices support maximum of nrf5 sdk 12.3.0, whereas nrf52 support latest versions. (nrf5 sdk version also dictates which softdevice is used, if ble softdevice is required, but i think this can be tied to and encapsulated into the framework logic?)

That is great! Where should I look for to get the package once you will release it?
It is a custom board using the nRF52832 that I design a while ago!

For now development will be started at GitHub - maxgerhardt/platform-nordicnrf52: Nordic nRF52: development platform for PlatformIO (and later equivalently for platform-nordicnrf51 with a lower SDK version that supports the nRF51 chipsets), after that a test phase and a pull-request into GitHub - platformio/platform-nordicnrf52: Nordic nRF52: development platform for PlatformIO. I’ll be working with a Particle Xenon (nRF52840)
