Re:Non-Terrestrial Networks with NRF9151 on Monday March 17, 2025 @01:56PM (#43391041)
I am trying to add NTN support for the nRF9151 Connect Kit: https://github.com/makerdiary/nrf9151-connectkit

Has anyone used the NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) feature on the nRF9151? I’d love to hear about your experience or any challenges you’ve encountered.

iMX RT1011 Nano Kit can run CircuitPython which allows you to access hardware-specific functionality and peripherals in the popular Python programming language. With CircuitPython, there are no upfront desktop downloads needed. Once you get your board set up, open any text editor, and start editing code. It's that simple.

The Zephyr Project is a Linux Foundation hosted Collaboration Project. It’s an open-source collaborative effort uniting developers and users in building a best-in-class small, scalable real⁃time operating system (RTOS) optimized for resource-constrained devices, across multiple architectures.
Building OpenSK firmware in GitHub Codespaces is quite easy without setting up the complicated development environment in local machine: https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-mdk-usb-dongle/guides/o...
