Please use nrf52840_dk ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):
[env:nrf52840_dk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nrf52840_dk
You can override default Nordic nRF52840-DK settings per build environment using
board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from
board manifest nrf52840_dk.json. For example,
board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.
[env:nrf52840_dk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nrf52840_dk
; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = nrf52840
; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 64000000L
Nordic nRF52840-DK supports the next uploading protocols:
blackmagic
cmsis-dap
jlink
mbed
nrfjprog
stlink
Default protocol is jlink
You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:
[env:nrf52840_dk]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nrf52840_dk
upload_protocol = jlink
PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.
Warning
You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.
You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).
Nordic nRF52840-DK has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.

|---|---|
Arduino Wiring-based Framework allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of Arduino boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences. |
|
The mbed framework The mbed SDK has been designed to provide enough hardware abstraction to be intuitive and concise, yet powerful enough to build complex projects. It is built on the low-level ARM CMSIS APIs, allowing you to code down to the metal if needed. In addition to RTOS, USB and Networking libraries, a cookbook of hundreds of reusable peripheral and module libraries have been built on top of the SDK by the mbed Developer Community. |

The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices, and built with safety and security in mind. |
