Nrf52 rev1: common questions

What microcontroller does the Nrf52 rev1 use?

The Nrf52 rev1 is built around the nRF52832, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Nrf52 rev1 PCB?

The Nrf52 rev1 measures 48.3 × 48.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Nrf52 rev1?

42 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Nrf52 rev1 design files?

From the xil-se/nrf52-devboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Nrf52 rev1 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with xil-se. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Nrf52 rev1 without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
