BLE Nitrogen
Zephyr applications use the nrf52_nitrogen configuration to run on the nRF52 Nitrogen hardware. It provides support for the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 ARM Cortex-M4F CPU and the following devices:
- NVIC (Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller)
- SYSTICK (System Tick System Clock)
- UART
- GPIO
- FLASH
The Nordic Semiconductor Infocenter contains the processor's information and the datasheet.
It is strongly recommended that you update your development environment with the latest SDK since new functionality is tested against the latest releases.
