Arduino A000135 Primo with NFC WiFi & BLE nRF52832 ESP8266

The Arduino Primo is the first of the Arduino boards to feature a Nordic nRF52 processor for BLE and NFC management. This combination of Arduino and Nordic know-how brings new benefits and opportunities for the development of IoT applications in one platform.

The board has advanced 32-bit microcontroller architecture, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi, Near-Field Communications (NFC), and infrared (IR) transmit and receive capability.

The Primo has three onboard microcontrollers:

nRF52832 - is the main Arduino microcontroller with integrated BLE and NFC
STM32f103 - a service microcontroller used for advanced debugging and programming the other microcontrollers
ESP8266 - for Wi-Fi and related internet connectivity functions

Data and power connection to a computer is via the USB port and there is a battery connection for external power by battery. The board has 6x analog inputs and 14x digital inputs (12 of which can be used as PWM outputs).
