nRF51 SoC Processor Based Bluetooth Smart/ANT/2.4GHz Applications Development and Test Dongle

The nRF51 Dongle is a low-cost, versatile USB development dongle for Bluetooth® low energy, ANT and 2.4GHz proprietary applications using the nRF51 Series SoC. The dongle supports development for nRF51822, nRF51824 and nRF51422 SoCs.It supports the standard Nordic Software Development Tool-chain using Keil, IAR and GCC,there is also support for the ARM mbed tool-chain for rapid prototyping and development using mbed’s cloud-based IDE and tool-chain with an extensive range of open-source software libraries. Program/Debug options on the kit are Segger J-Link OB for standard tool-chain and CMSIS-DAP for mbed.It has a user-programmable RGB LED, button and 6 solder pads for GPIO/interface connections.In addition to standard nRF51 Series development, the dongle can be used as a useful and highly cost-effective Bluetooth low energy packet sniffer using Nordic nRF Sniffer software allowing detailed data related to Bluetooth low energy communication to be captured and analyzed. Using the Master Emulator firmware and the Master Control Panel Software it enables setting up of a peer device that you can use to test the connection of your application.
