Seeeduino Xiao BLE missing configuration.

Hello,

I have freshly switched to nordic and the surrounding nordic nRF Connect SDK from ESP due to a need for a low power chip with thread / matter.

I found some cheap Seeeduino Xiao BLE Chips based on the nRF52840 chip that were in stock from Seeeduino and got myself some.

My problem now is that I can only find a Board configuration for the older Seeeduino Xiao based on an Atmel processor, not the BLE version.

Is there a config available that is not in the current stable version of the nRF Connect SDK / the VSCode extension that I am coding in? If not, are there any plans to release a configuration for this board any time soon?

    I am not familiar with this board, but since it is not a board developed by Nordic, we will not release this configuration. You will have to check with the manufacturer of your board if they have any plans to release this configuration for NCS, if they have not already done that (my guess is that they will do so. Knowing the HW well, and since they are also familiar with zephyr, it should be very easy for them to make a configuration for it). 

    As I said, I am not familiar with it, but I assume it is preprogrammed with some sort of bootloader (perhaps Arduinos) so they will also have to provide some way to program it. I see that there are some SWDIO and SWDCLK pins at the back, but that would require an external programmer.

    Best regards,

    Edvin

  • Thanks for the reply,

    as you've hinted I have looked into their Discord channel and found a configuration for the board in a branch of a user ( https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zephyr/tree/v3.0.0%2Bzmk-fixes/boards/arm/seeeduino_xiao_ble ). If I read the staff's comment to this branch in the channel correctly they are planning on wrapping up the documentation for this board definition and then merging it into Zephyr. 

    This issue can therefore be closed (if this forum has a closing feature, I am not sure)
