Getting started with the Nordic nRF5 SDK
When working with the Nordic nRF5 SDK on the ANNA-B4 series module, follow the procedure below
to get started with the Nordic Semiconductor toolchain and examples:
1. Download and install the nRF Connect that includes an embedded Programmer app for
programming over SWD
2. Download and install the latest SEGGER embedded studio.
3. Download and extract the latest nRF5-SDK.
☞ When installing the SDK, be sure not to include any space characters in the file path. Keep the
folder structure intact. The examples in the SDK use relative folder references.
4. Read SDK release notes and check the nRF5 SDK documentation available from the Nordic
Semiconductor Infocenter.
4.2.1.1 Nordic tools
For further information and links to all Nordic tools, as well as the supported compilers, see
Nordic software and tools.
4.2.1.2 Support – Nordic development forum
For support on questions related to the development of software using the Nordic nRF5 DK, check out
the Nordic DevZone forum.
Create a custom board support file for Nordic nRF5 SDK
The predefined hardware boards included in the Nordic nRF5 SDK are designed for Nordic
development boards only. To add support for a custom board, create a support file with the name
custom_board.h and save this to one of the folders:
• <SDK folder>/components/boards to be valid for all examples, or
• <SDK folder>/examples/<project>/pca10100/<softdevice>/config (valid for this project only).
☞ Given folder paths are consistent with the file structure for the Nordic nRF5 SDK version 17.0.0.
