🧠 Step Up from Arduino IDE: Embrace the Future with nRF SDK and VSCode!

Several questions, though:

In the NRF Desktop, when you observe the XIAO board there’s a Soft Device. However, for DK there isn’t. Let’s say one starts the BLE course and the course is built upon the Soft Device: does it mean one should re-flash the bootloader for one which contains SoftDevice in it, or will the SDK do this automatically? Namely: clicking FLASH in the SDK is only affecting the application or the bootloader as well?

Other question, and I hate myself for asking it again: any experience with the nrf54L15 DK? Is it missing anything that nrf52 DK has? Like I see it has 1 USB port, while another has 2, but does it matter? I see it is cheaper than nrf52840 DK, and the nrf54 chip is itself cheaper, than nrf52, and moreover, the modules, let’s say, Raytac ones, based on nrf54 are cheaper that the ones based on nrf52. And on top you have a 20% less power consumption on nrf54. Unless there are some hidden issues, the nrf54 looks like a no-brainer to switch to. The only thing missing is the dev boards built with this chip. Is it for a reason? Though, I see there will be a Feather one soon. However, if one targets a custom board, why should one bother?
Why am I asking? I can’t just justify the purchase of 52 DK over 54 DK :smiley:
