Overview
********

The nrf52840dk_nrf52811 board is a modified version of the
:ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840` that enforces the limitations imposed by the nRF52811
IC, which is a variant of the original nRF52840. Since Nordic does not offer a
development kit for the nRF52811 you can use this board to develop for this IC
while using the nRF52840 Development Kit (PCA10056).

See :ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840` for more information about the development board
and `nRF52811 website`_ for the official reference on the IC itself.

.. note::

   In earlier Zephyr releases this board was known as ``nrf52811_pca10056``.
