NRF52840 , Soc Revision, Soft Device and SDK compatibility matrix clarifications.

[RAnsermet]

Hi, 

I'm considering to update the SDK used in my projet from v17.0.2 to 17.1.0    current Soft device in use is version 7.2.0 

The way the compatibility information is displayed in https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/comp_matrix_nrf52840/COMP/nrf52840/nRF52840_ic_rev_sdk_sd_comp_matrix.html table1 last row: 
 
Let me stay with an open question. 

Considering that at the moment our product is assembled with NRF52840 SOC rev 2  and by the end of the year we might switch to rev 3. 

Would it be supported by SOC rev 2 if we already update our firmware to SDK 17.1.0  and S140 SD 7.3.0?
or
Is it so that while SDK 17.1.0 seems to be compatible for both SOC rev 2 and 3,  S140 SD  7.2.0  would be for SOC rev 2 and  7.3.0 would be for SOC rev 3 only ?  

Thanks for you confirmation.
Kind regards

Hi.

Revision 2 should be compatible with S140 7.3.0 and SDK v17.1.0,

So it should be fine to update your fw already now.

Hi Jared, 
Is there a reason why S140 7.3.0 is not part of the SDK 17.1.0 downloaded from nRF5 SDK downloads - nordicsemi.com and is only available from S140 - nordicsemi.com ?

I'd like to confirm that we can simply replace S140 files (7.2.0) by the corresponding 7.3.0 in the appropriate SDK folder. 

Kind regards

Hi,

I talked with the person responsible for that site, and they had forgotten to update it.

This should work, you can confirm it by running a Softdevice example such as the ble_app_beacon after replacing the files and see if it works.
