Product description
The EVK-NORA-B1 evaluation kit provides stand-alone use of the NORA-B1 series module featuring
the Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 dual-core RF System on Chip (SoC).
The evaluation kit provides a great starting point for almost any Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy (LE),
Thread, or Zigbee project. All features of the NORA-B1 series modules are easily accessed from the
evaluation board. A simple USB connection provides power, programming, and virtual COM ports. Four
user buttons are available, as well as a USB peripheral connector, user LEDs, and a reset button.
48 GPIO signals are available on headers that are compatible with the Arduino® form factor. This
allows easy use of existing Arduino shields. Current sense resistors allow for measuring current into
the module and into the shield.
This guide provides setup instructions for starting development and describes the hardware
functionality of the EVK-NORA-B1 board.
