Is it possible to develop with mbed on nRF51422 since it is similar to nRF51822?

I would like to know if it is possible to make applications with current mbed API for nRF51422 or if it is possible to somehow migrate with an application from nRF51822 to nRF51422.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for raising this question. It is possible to use nRF51422 with mbed.

rohit.

great to hear!

Sorry for commenting on this after some time, but would you be able to give me some pointers/elaborate on how to go about programming a custom nRF51422 board with the nRF51822 mbed API? Also how to go about using ANT using the same API. ANT, only because it supports mesh networking out of the box.

Hi Rohit,

Could you provide any pointers on how to get this going?

Thanks!

I believe binaries for the nRF51822 should work unchanged on the nRF51422. The latter is the same processor and peripherals put together except for the addition of ANT. Mbed doesn't offer any platforms for the nRF51422, so you'd probably be working with your own dev-board. You'll need to take care of the tools/software needed for programming. Otherwise, take any Nordic demo from mbed, compile it using the online toolchain for the nRF51822-mkit (for instance) and you're ready to flash it onto the target.

Great, yes I already have my own board. I will give this a try. Thanks!
