The nRF52 Development Kit is a board designed by Nordic Semiconductor to evaluate the nRF52832 chip. This chip has an Arm Cortex-M4F core and an integrated multi- protocol 2.4GHz radio. You can get it for most large distributors including:
How to setup the Ada development environment for the Micro:Bit
You can use GNAT FSF arm-elf and GPRbuild releases from the Alire project, download here.
A public release of GNAT Studio is also available here.
pyOCD programmer
The nRF52 DK comes with a Segger J-Link embedded programming/debugging. You can use the J-Link tools to program the board.
A better option is a build of the DAPLink firmware implementing CMSIS-DAP protocol defined by ARM that can be written over the JLink firmware.
The binary and the instructions for programing the firmware over USB
can be found on the DAPLink release
site by searching for Nordic-nRF52-DK
Open one of example projects and build it
Start GNAT Programming studio (GPS) and open the micro:bit example project:
Press F4 and then press Enter to build the project.
Program the board
In the GPS toolbar, click on the "flash to board" button to program the nRF52 DK.
After a few seconds, you should be able to interact with the example application as specified in the project's README.md file.
