- hazeii 6y agoIt's not much appreciated, but the Microbit V1 is an nRF51 and the V2 is an nRF52. Download the SDK from Nordic Semi [0], grab a copy of ARM GCC[1] or Segger IDE [2] (free for nRF5x, complete with drag'n'drop firmware upload [2a]) and you have a powerful Bluetooth LE/2.4GHz radio/LED blinky development environment (whatever platform you're on).
