Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 Development Kit
Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 Development Kit (nRF52840-DK) is a versatile, single-board development tool for Bluetooth® 5.2 / Bluetooth Low Energy, 802.15.4 / Thread, ANT/ANT+, and proprietary 2.4GHz applications using the nRF52840 Multi-Protocol SoC (System on Chip). Hardware-compatible with the Arduino Uno Revision 3 standard, the nRF52840-DK enables designers to use 3rd-party shields that conform to this standard.
The nRF52840-DK supports the standard Nordic tool-chain software using Keil, IAR, and GCC. This development kit also supports Bluetooth mesh and Zigbee. Program/debug options are available for Segger J-Link OB and external target boards. The Development Kit gives access to all I/O and interfaces via edge connectors and features four user-programmable LEDs and buttons. Designers can connect an NFC antenna to enable NFC tag functionality.
