Trying to Add support for Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 #25

Open arg-min-h opened 1 year ago

arg-min-h commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I am trying to use BlueMicro_BLE with Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840.

The Adafruit BSP for the XIAO nRF52840 is available in the Seeed-Studio/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino, which is a fork from adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino.

If I want to add a board, should I copy the contents of the variants folder in the "Seeed-Studio/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino" repository to jpconstantineau/Community_nRF52_Arduino/variants and commit it? Is it enough? I'm new to BlueMicro and Github and wasn't sure if this was the right way.

For reference, here is some information related to the Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840.

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thank you.

If this is the only change they have done to their repo, this would be the way. I would prefer if it were added here instead/as well since it's tracking the latest Adafruit nrf52 one.

However, if they have made significant changes and need a different bootloader (to support the latest version of the Softdevice), then I suspect we might not be able to merge them.

I did a little more digging to see what differences there were between the Adafruit repository and the Seeed Studio fork.

The following differences were found:

I checked the fork diffs at the following URL: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Arduino/compare/1.3.0...Seeed-Studio:master

Do you think that Community_nRF52_Arduino or BlueMicro_BLE will need significant modifications to achieve my goal?
