Nordic Semiconductor – nRF51 Dongle
Development and test dongle for Bluetooth Smart, ANT and 2.4GHz applications.
Product Overview
The nRF51 Dongle is a development tool for making Bluetooth® Smart, ANT and 2.4GHz applications using the nRF51 Series SoCs. It has a standard USB connector and can be plugged directly into a PC USB port. The nRF51 Dongle supports standard Nordic tool-chain software with Segger J-Link OB Program/ Debug and also ARM® mbed software. Additionally there is a user-programmable RGB LED and 6 solder pads for GPIO/ interface connections.
