Hello. I am intending on using this pro micro nrf52840 board for a bluetooth project of mine. However i am a bit confused about the nrf52840 soc, apparently some of the boards need to use the proprietary IDE by the manufacturer.

Will i be able to use this board with the Arduino IDE, and if so then is there anything i'd need to do except installing the nrf52840 library?
