The Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 Developer Kit is an mbed-enabled Platform board. This kit supports Bluetooth connectivity but there is no Ethernet connectivity. The evothings wanted to use Ethernet library with the nRF51-DK even they don’t use NXP, freescale and Renesas MCUs.
They found the WIZnet library for W5100, W5200 and W5500 and modified the WIZnet example for the nRF51-DK.
In this tutorial, the author says,
The Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 Developer Kit, an mbed.org enabled micro-controller, is the first of its kind from Nordic Semiconductor that is compatible with the Arduino UNO rev3 hardware standard – however it lacks any form of on-board Ethernet connectivity. It was obvious for us and our hands-on tendencies to figure out exactly how to utilise the Arduino Ethernet Shield and give the nRF51-DK Ethernet support – in this post we’ll show you exactly how we went about doing so!
Thanks to the Evothings tutorial, you can easily understand how to port Ethernet library into any mbed Platform boards. Refer to this link.
