Wrong nRF DK board

I didn't notice that it specifically named nRF52810 DK as the board you needed. The sources I was looking at just said that you needed an nRF52 DK, and so I ended up ordering a nRF52832 DK. Is it still possible to use this DK using the Garmin CIQ simulator?

  • Have you tried flashing it with the hex file needed for CIQ and then see if it will work with the sim?

    On the Nordic site I found this:

    The main differences between the nRF52810 and the nRF52832 are the following

    • NFC peripheral has been removed on the nRF52810
    • Flash reduced from 256kB to 192kB and RAM reduced from 32kB to 24kB.
    • Number of SPI/TWI Master peripherals reduced from 3 to 2 ( 1 x SPI Master or Slave + 1 x TWI Master or Slave)
    • Number of PWM channels reduced from 12 to 4.
    • I2S Peripheral has been removed.
    • Low Power Comparator has been removed
    • Number of 32-bit 16MHz Timers reduced from 5 to 3
    • Number of 32.768kHz RTCs reduced from 3 to 2.
    • The number of GPIOTE channels reduced from 8 to 4.
    • FPU (Floating Point Unit) removed.
    • Cache removed

    Not sure if any of that impacts the CIQ stuff though....

  • I haven't tried as I'm not sure if the firmware is interchangeable between devices.

  • I flashed it, and it seems like everything went fine. CIQ simulator doesn't crash or anything when I set the COM port that it's on, so I believe it's working. My program doesn't appear to have my Arduino connecting to my nRF52 in the CIQ, so I'm sure it's an issue with my code. Would you happen to have any simple beginner projects you could point me to that would get those two devices communicating?
