We were trying to run the PPI example from the nRF5 SDK on our emulator. We quickly revealed a bug in the configuration of one of the timers by having a look at the HW log:
Check out our Medium blog for the full story.
Note: I could not find an...
If you haven't yet get to know command line interface (nrf_cli) module significantly improved in nRF5 SDK 14.0.0 please check this blog post: New command line interface - part 1
Enhanced logger and console
It seems like a natural fit to use the con...
##Introducing concurrent MultiLinks
I’d like to inform that it is possible to configure concurrent-multiple connections with several Centrals and Peripherals.
This behavior can be possible to use examples in the nRF5 SDK v13.
In the nRF5 SDK v13, ...
Thingy:52 Python Raspberry Pi Interface
This blog is a follow up to both the Nordic Thingy:52 node.js/Raspberry Pi demos and the https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/blogs/1160/walkthrough-of-nordic-thingy52-nodejs-raspberry-pi/ blog posts. It will go thr...
In this article, I use the I2S peripheral of the Nordic nRF52832 to generate the waveforms required to drive the popular WS2812B RGB LEDs.

Thingy:52 Node.js Raspberry Pi Interface
This blog post is a follow up to the Nordic Thingy:52 node.js/Raspberry Pi demos blog post, and will described how you can run and what to expect from each of the Node.js examples that have been provided in t...
This post describes how you can get the ble_app_hrs_freertos example project running in Atollic TrueSTUDIO 8.0 on a pca10040 board. This is a managed make build, it does not rely on the makefile provided by Nordic. No Nordic source files are change...
Just a quick post to say that we have ported the Adafruit GFX and SSD1306 libraries to nRF52832. Currently only I2C is supported.
The code can be found here:

Here it's ...
At Jumper we’re developing tools that increase the happiness levels of embedded software developers. Our main tool to date is the Jumper Emulator. As a part of the development process we’re required to use embedded debuggers to verify that our emulat...
Bluetooth SIG has recently published a new standard, the Bluetooth mesh. The mesh capability is a significant update and enables radical new applications. This in turn means that there are significant changes, and many new concepts to learn for devel...
Introduction
With nRF5 SDK v14.0.0, we have significantly refactored the Command Line Interface (CLI) module to make it more useful and user friendly.
The new CLI has the following features:
Support for multiple instances.
Advanced cooperation ...
Introduction
I would like to introduce simple source code that supporting NUS profile and pairing. Most of you will choose the proprietary profile to make your own application which is not provided by Bluetooth SIG. Since this reason Nordic is provi...
As you probably know having a build environment, you can replicate and deploy with ease has the potential to save a lot of R&D time. If you can also control its versioning so you would be able to "get back in time" for a build server th...
When we built our Bluey nRF52 BLE dev board, we were looking for an inexpensive option for our users to upload code to bluey and debug it using ARM GDB. We then came across the blackmagic probe (BMP) project - an Open Source debugging tool for embe...
The day after the Bluetooth SIG announced the 1.0 spec of the Bluetooth mesh we are happy to announce the nRF5 SDK for Mesh for our nRF51 and nRF52 Series SoCs. This first (v0.9.1) release is packed with new features and concepts for Bluetooth.
What...
We’ve all seen the hype on 2x Speed, 4x Range, and 8x Advertising data increase capabilities in Bluetooth 5.
But what does this all mean?? How does it achieve all these improvements? Is it really possible to achieve all these simultaneously?? What a...
Motivation
Very often, while working with Bluetooth LE devices, we encountered a problem having to repeat a sequence of operations to test or demonstrate some functionality. Writing a mobile app every time to show couple of buttons that interact wit...
With the nRF52840, we released our first System-on-Chip (SoC) with a radio that is capable of running the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY, additionally to Bluetooth 5 (Bluetooth Low Energy), ANT+, and proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols. In March 2017, we released our f...
A case study on optimizing battery power consumption for CC2538 but can also apply for nRF52 based device - https://medium.com/jumperiot/power-optimization-from-3-to-7-months-on-a-single-charge-56de0c30f062.
In this project, we’re going to build a BLE Beacon that transmits temperature, humidity and ambient light levels to a dashboard on the internet. Bluetooth Low Energy is a technology that was designed from the ground up to reduce power consumption. ...
Our brilliant apps engineers continue to play around with our newly-launched Nordic Thingy:52.
This time, Joakim has prepared a few Javascript demos using node.js and a Raspberry Pi.
The Thingy connects to the Raspberry Pi with Bluetooth and uses i...
We are happy to announce that nRF Connect for desktop v2.0 has now been released, and is available for download on the nRF Connect product page.
Framework for desktop apps
As you may know, nRF Connect v1 was a Bluetooth low energy tool for developm...
Connecting BLE devices to the IoT is becoming an essential requirement of many products, so to help you get your IoT project jump started, Nordic Semiconductor is launching a set of IoT developer tools. Currently the tools are in beta with a full rel...
How to implement the Nordic OTA protocol in your own phone App
This document is meant to be useful if you are implementing DFU updates within in your own smartphone app, and want to do it yourself, rather than rely on trying to turn nrf toolbox into...
One thing I wish I had when I started developing for BLE is more blog posts that walk you step-by-step on how to tackle the different phases of the system design and implementation. One such phase is designing your Bluetooth GATT: Services and Charac...
