* SPI
* LEDs
* Pins
* ADC
* I2C
* PWM (nRF52 only)
* Temperature
* RTC
* Some BLE support including _REPL over BLE_
Note that this port is still a work-in-progress and some modules are not fully feature complete.
## Tested hardware
* nRF51
* nRF52
* [PCA10040](http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.nrf52%2Fdita%2Fnrf52%2Fdevelopment%2Fnrf52_dev_kit.html)
* [D52Q](https://www.dynastream.com/components/d52)
* [Adafruit Feather nRF52](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3406)
