nRF51822 - Nordic Semiconductor. The hardware tools in the nRF51 series tool chain consist of an evaluation kit and a nRFgo compatible development kit, in addition to application specific reference designs. The software support are split in two major parts: SoftDevices containing wireless protocol stacks; and the nRF51 Software Development Kit (SDK) forming a common code base for all nRF51 devices. 3rd Party Supporting Products nRF51822 Evaluation Kit (nRF51822-EK) The evaluation kits gives you the lowest cost entry point to development with the nRF51822.
The kit operates stand alone, and is based around a small module with headers for all IO pins, 2 buttons, 2 LED's as well as a built in Segger on board programming and debugging over USB solution. Please note that progamming and debugging functionality on the evaluation kit is limited to the devices in the kit itself.

Wednesday grab bag. Another post in an occasional series on the cool stuff people have been doing with their Pis. Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday – total disorganisation on our part. The event we were at yesterday (at which we won a paperweight proclaiming that Eben is Cambridge’s most influential business person, a rather phallic award, and a box of chocolates – hurray chocolates) went on for longer than we’d expected, we didn’t get to do half the things we were meaning to before the end of the day, and we are reminded that it’s probably getting close to time to hire some admin staff, because this diary is becoming a MONSTER. First up, some competition news. PA Consulting is sponsoring a series of prizes for UK teams.
Yesterday, we learned about the first ever Raspberry Pi supercomputer. Prof Cox and James, and the biggest Bramble we’ve seen yet The Raspberry Pi isn’t just getting a foothold in UK universities. Kindleberry Pi. Downloads. Raspberry Pi.
