How can I get started to develoop softdevice V7.3

[MapleBay]

I used to use sd api v5 s132 to develop the PC program corresponding to my nRF52840.

But now I find that the new program content provided on the official website is S140, so I want to continue my development. However, because I could not find the corresponding development kit, I used the contents of these two directories (Attachment 1) in my previous development to complete the development, but the newly downloaded softdevice of S140 only has the include folder(Attachment 2).

Hello,

Unfortunately, the pc-ble-driver has not been updated to support Softdevice 7.

Hello,

Thanks for your response. May I have other way to use sd API to develop my  program?

Hello Genfeng,

We currently do not have a direct replacement for the pc-ble-driver. Could you share more details about the type of application you are developing? It might make sense to develop more of the application logic on the nRF side. Instead of using serialized SD APIs, you could expose a set of custom commands that your PC app can use to control your device. We also recommend using the nRF Connect SDK for new designs:  nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement 

Best regards,

Hello Vidar,

I want to create an automated test program that has access to all BLE features because I want it to be versatile. And because I had already developed a bunch of programs using pc-ble-driver, but now I needed some flash functionality, so I had to upgrade my firmware, but then I couldn't use the new SD API.

Best regards,

Hello Genfeng,

Thanks for the additional information. I can understand why you would like to continue your development with the pc-ble-driver. Unfortunately, we have not updated it to support the newest Softdevice variants.

Best regards,
