Single-board development kits
We offer single-board development kits containing everything needed to get started with Bluetooth Mesh development on our SoCs. The kits make all features and GPIOs of the SoCs available to the developer, including NFC. All kits have buttons and LEDs, enabling you to give input and get output.. All kits come with an on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger enabling both programming and debugging of the SoC.
We also offer the nRF52840 Dongle. It is complementary hardware to the nRF Connect for Desktop tool. It supports Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Mesh, Thread and Zigbee. It can be a low-cost alternative when doing large-scale testing, or when size is important. Do note that it does not have a SEGGER J-Link debugger on board. We recommend buying a proper development kit for development.
For the nRF5340 SoC we also offer an easy-to-use prototyping platform, the Nordic Thingy:53. It is designed to help build prototypes and demos, without the need to build hardware or even write firmware. Do note that it does not have a SEGGER J-Link debugger on board.
We also recommend you have a look at the Power Profiler Kit II (PPK 2). PPK 2 is a tool you can use to measure the current consumption of all our development kits, prototyping platforms, and your own designs, all the way from sub-uA to 1 A.
