nRF5340-AUDIO-DK
Overview
The nRF5340-AUDIO-DK is a development kit designed for the evaluation and development of Bluetooth LE Audio applications. It leverages the dual-core nRF5340 SoC, which features a high-performance 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 application processor and a dedicated 64 MHz network processor. This kit is specifically optimized for high-quality wireless audio streaming with low power consumption and low latency.
Why Choose This Part
The kit features a dual-core architecture that separates the heavy audio processing tasks on the 128 MHz Cortex-M33 from the timing-critical wireless protocol stack. It includes an integrated Cirrus Logic hardware codec and support for the LC3 codec, ensuring superior audio performance at lower bitrates than traditional Bluetooth. The low power profile, with TX currents as low as 3.2 mA at 0 dBm, significantly extends battery life in portable audio designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Start by downloading the nRF Connect SDK, which includes the necessary drivers and sample applications for LE Audio. Connect the board via USB to use the on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger for programming and real-time debugging. The kit is designed to work as either a gateway or a headset, and using two or more kits is recommended to test full end-to-end wireless audio streams.
