Developing with nRF54H Series

Information in this section complements the general Application development guides (such as Configuring and building or Programming an application) with information specific to devices of the nRF54H Series.

Zephyr and the nRF Connect SDK provide support and contain board definitions for developing on the following nRF54H Series device:

DK	PCA number	Build target
nRF54H20 DK	PCA10175	nrf54h20dk/nrf54h20/cpuapp nrf54h20dk/nrf54h20/cpurad nrf54h20dk/nrf54h20/cpuppr

Note

For details on the compatibility between nRF54H20 IronSide SE binaries and nRF Connect SDK versions, see IronSide SE ABI compatibility.
