2.4 GHz transceiver, an ARM Cortex-M4 CPU, flash memory, a high speed clock and an on-board antenna in a small package. MBN52832DK can serve as a software development platform for creating Bluetooth Smart and NFC-enabled systems using the Nordic nRF52 SDK [1]. This document provides the information for setting up the MBN52832DK with hardware version 801107 Rev C.
MBN52832DK User Guide 2. Setting up the MBN52832DK for Windows The MBN52832Development Kit (MBN52832DK) supports the evaluation and development of smart IoT wireless networking products using BLE and NFC. It consists of an evaluation board (EVB), a quick start guide and this user guide. The EVB consists of two parts, the Interface Module (IM) and the Breakaway Module (BM), as shown in Figure 2.
