Overview


The Nano v2 is a development board equipped with Nordic's next generation nRF52832 Bluetooth Low Energy SOC. This board was designed as a 'drop-in' replacement of BLE Nano with exactly the same form factor.

Hardware


  • nRF52832 SoC is built around a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F CPU with 512kB flash + 64kB RAM
  • 11 x Digital I/0
  • 1 UART with hardware flow control ( 4 I/O pins occupied )
  • 1 I2C ( 2 I/O pins occupied )

The DAPLink USB board acts as a dongle. DAPLink debug probes appear on the host computer as a USB disk. It also regulates 5V from USB to 3.3V via the onboard LDO to power Nano v2.

Programming and Debugging


.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Applications for the nrf52_blenano2 board configuration can be built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

Flashing

To flash an application, you'll need to connect your BLE Nano 2 with the DAPLink board, then attach that to your computer via USB.

.. warning::

Be careful to mount the BLE Nano 2 correctly! The side of the board with the VIN and GND pins should face towards the USB connector.

Now build and flash applications as usual. Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: nrf52_blenano2 :goals: build flash

Debugging

After mounting the BLE Nano 2 on its DAPLink board as described above, you can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.
