Hi,

I have a GARMIN D52QD2M4IA module connected to a MCU host through UART.
The D52QD2M4IA cames from factory with precharged S212 ANT SoftDevice and the ANT Network Processor (NP) application, which handles ANT only channels.
Eventually I will need to handle both ANT and BLE channels. This means I have to migrate to SoftDev S332.

1. how to re-flash the D52QD2M4IA with SoftDev S332 ? I need the image file and the how-to procedure
2. where to find a detiled description of the serial host interface for S332 ?

Thank you for help
Gabriele

Unfortunately if you want to use BLE you will have to write your own software and reprogram the module. Your software will connect the serial interface and the softdevice.

Reprograming is only available through SWD pins.

To create your software for reprogramming you will need to combine the image for the softdevice from https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/d52/ "SOFTWARE" (which takes you to https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/nrf52832/#tab_protocol_stacks_tab) with your application code, or program the two memory regions independently.

https://www.thisisant.com/resources/nrf52-network-processor-source/ is the source for the ANT network processor that comes pre-programmed onto the D52Q

That download is available as "nRF52 Network Processor Source Code" in the software downloads page.
