Developing with Thingy:53

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 nRF53 Series.

Zephyr and the nRF Connect SDK provide support and contain board definitions for developing on the following nRF53 Series devices:

The Nordic Thingy:53 is a battery-operated prototyping platform for IoT Systems. The Nordic Thingy:53 integrates the nRF5340 SoC that supports Bluetooth® Low Energy, IEEE 802.15.4 based protocols and Near Field Communication (NFC). The nRF5340 is augmented with the nRF21540 RF FEM (Front-end Module) Range extender that has an integrated power amplifier (PA)/low-noise amplifier (LNA) and nPM1100 Power Management IC (PMIC) that has an integrated dual-mode buck regulator and battery charger.
