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](https://github.com/alire-project/GNAT-FSF-builds/releases).
|
|
|
|
A public release of GNAT Studio is also available
|
|
[here](https://github.com/AdaCore/gnatstudio/releases).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink) firmware implementing
|
|
[CMSIS-DAP](https://docs.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os-handbook/en/latest/advanced/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](https://armmbed.github.io/DAPLink/) 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:
|
|
|
|
- [Buttons](buttons/)
|
|
- [Digital Output](digital_out/)
|
|
- [BLE beacon](BLE_beacon/)
|
|
|
|
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.
