* PREVIEW - Device, tool, or software has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available; ACTIVE: Device, tool, or software recommended for new designs.

Development with the D52 ANT SoC Module Series is supported by a starter kit (D52DK2) and an extender kit (D52EXT1), which is designed to work with the starter kit.  Most components in both kits are also available for sale individually from distributors.

D52DK2 - D52 ANT SoC Module Series Starter Kit

The D52 starter kit (D52DK2) contains all the hardware necessary to get developing with ANT or Bluetooth® low energy technology, and the downloadable ANT SoC Module Starter Kit User Manual has full details on using the kit with reference examples and the nRF5 SDK from Nordic Semiconductor. 

The kit contents are described below:

Module	Part Number	Quantity	Part Description

D52EXT1 - D52 ANT SoC Module Series Extender Kit

The D52 extender kit (D52EXT1) builds on the D52 starter kit to provide extra nodes and more power for IoT developers and platforms, including ANT BLAZE™.  The introduction of this kit also coincides with the availability of the ANTBAT3 combination I/O and battery board.  Powered by 2 AA batteries, the development board enables longer testing and development and includes buttons and LEDs for testing input and interaction.  A D52 starter kit is recommended for use with the extender kit, as the starter kit includes the tools necessary to program and monitor development nodes.

The contents of the extender kit are described, below:

Module	Part Number	Quantity	Part Description
	D52QSKM6IA-A	4	M4 module mounted on carrier board with 20-pin Molex connector, NFC connections available, SWD programming header, additional through-hole connections for I/O pins
