🐉 It is TIME for a New Dragon... this is the year "XIAO nRF5340 " Dragon

DHL.
Working OT in my area.
Just got the latest in Development and prototype hardware bases from Nordic local rep as promised. Its a bargain for the DualCore nRF5340 development platform and the JLink alone. The thingy is more of a prototyping platform and contains many sensors. I’ll be introducing them and demonstrating some of the possibilities. With the next generation of Fresh hardware.
Coded PHY here we go!



Same size, consistent design.

Stay tuned.

1. Processing Power & Architecture:

  • nRF5340:

    • Dual-Core Design: It features a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 application processor and a 64 MHz Cortex-M33 network processor. This separation of application and network tasks can lead to more efficient processing and lower latency, particularly in complex applications.
    • Dedicated Network Processor: The network core is optimized for handling radio protocols like Bluetooth LE, ensuring that the application core is free for other tasks.
  • ESP32S3/C6:

    • ESP32S3: It has a single-core Xtensa LX7 processor, capable of running at up to 240 MHz. The dual-core architecture (found in the ESP32) is absent in the S3, which could lead to more contention between application and communication tasks.
    • ESP32C6: Features a RISC-V single-core processor and adds support for Wi-Fi 6, but again, lacks a dedicated core for networking tasks.
