Setting up hardware

Before setting up the Sidewalk environment, make sure you have correctly set up the required hardware.

Development kit

Nordic Semiconductor’s development kit is required to run Sidewalk samples. For the list of supported DKs per sample, see the Samples overview.

Depending on the device, refer to the getting started guide for setup instructions:

• Getting started with nRF52 Series

• Getting started with nRF53 Series

Semtech SX1262

Sidewalk samples use sub-GHz radio transceivers to support LoRa and (G)FSK modulation. You will need it to run LoRa and FSK applications.

For evaluation, use the Semtech SX1262MB2CAS Arduino Shield.

Pinout

Connect the Semtech shield to the Arduino-compatible headers on the development kit.
