  1.3  To recognize your nRFConnect SDK version case by case

   

  Intro: The preparation of nRF Connect SDK Vx.x.x(NCS SDK version, ) and Nordic Example code will help you get through the program code building and trace debug in VS Code IDE or Segger Embedded Studio IDE. Here’s the brief way to recognize your nRFConnect SDK version which suits your project development.

   

  Step1.

   

    Activated your “nRF Connect for Desktop” >> “Toolchain Manager” >> “Open” >> “Install”

   

  (**Note: The development nRF Connect SDK(NCS) provides with free VS Code IDE and Segger Embedded Studio IDE as compiling system)

   

  

   

  Step2.

  To recognize your project is with or without Audio inquiry and download the “nRF Connect SDK(NCS)” by the following classification.

   

  A.) Project with Non-Audio case

   

  Option1. Go with NCS V1.9.1 (Included) and previous version.

  There’re either “Open VS Code” or “Open Segger Embedded Studio” IDE options could be selected for program coding.

  

  Option2. Go with NCS V2.0.0(included) and the later.

   There’s simply “Open VS Code” IDE that could be run for program coding.

   

  

   

   

  B.) Project with “Audio” inquiry

  
  

  You would only have option of NCS V2.0.0(included) and the later version working in “Open VS Code” IDE.

  

   

  Step3.

   Please make sure the nRFConnect SDK is installed at same base directory with compiling system  (the root of Open VS Code)

   

  (This is using D:\ncs-work base as example.)

   

   If the base is not directing to the same, do “Select directory’” to re-direct the route.

   

  

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Step4.

Nordic nRF5340 Module MDBT53 and MDBT53V By Raytac Corporation

Nordic nF5340 is the first wireless SoC with dual core processors which aimed to optimized the performance of complex IoT applications and LE audios. The dual core contains a 1MB Flash / 512K RAM M4F MCU for application processor and another 256K Flash / 64K RAM for network. This structure remarkable optimized the performance also low power efficiency.

Raytac released 5 modules with 2 form factors, MDBT53 and MDBT53V,  with different antenna options for selection. The modules deployed nRF53 SoC supports high-speed SPI, QSPI, USB, I2C, I2S, and NFC interface and 105°C industrial temperature specification. BT5.3 pre-qualified, FCC/IC/CE/Telec (MIC)/KC/SRRC/NCC pre-certified is a MUST for all Raytac modules.

MDBT53 is a System-on-Module (aka SoM) with a good size of 9.3mm x 14.3mm and 48 GPIO which is an ideal dimension to fit in most applications. MDBT53 provides 3 antenna options, Chip antenna; PCB antenna; and u.FL connector for external antenna which deliver a maximum feasibility for most IoT projects.

MDBT53-P1M (PCB Antenna)

MDBT53-U1M (u.FL Connector for External Antenna) 

MDBT53V is designated for the application which has a space constraint design. A 7.8mm x 12.4mm with 25 GPIO is small enough to offer the opportunity of employing nRF5340 modules in the project. MDBT53V provides 2 options of antenna, Chip and PCB, for developers’ selection which is capable of optimizing the project plan in terms of performance and budgetary.

nRF5340 Module, MDBT53 Series by Raytac Corporation

The MDBT53 series deployed Nordic nRF5340 solution which includes dual Arm® Cortex®-M33 processor cores with integrated a 1M flash and 512K RAM Memory; and 256K flash and 64K RAM Memory provides an advanced, powerful ability for applications demand a quick response but ultra low power consumption. 

MDBT53 brings a bluetooth new era with below feature brief:

*Bluetooth low energy audio

*Bluetooth mesh

*Bluetooth Direction Finding, such as Angle-of-Arrival and Angle-of-Departure

*Advanced security level

*Max temperature extended to 105°C

Differ from nRF52 series solution, nRF5340 series module is using nRF Connect SDK (NCS) as the software development kit. It integrates the Zephyr RTOS, protocol stacks, application samples and hardware drivers.

MDBT53 is a small, stand-alone BT5.2 module comes with an integrated Chip or PCB antenna for selection. The u,FL connector version sill soon released to meet the demand for applications which an external antenna for installation or long range transmission is needed. 

Raytac MDBT53 series modules provides an optimal and stable RF efficiency which easy the hardware design resource developers' need. The compact size, stable quality and pre-certified modules offer an advantage to speed up time to market efficiency and minimal the BOM cost.
