Some questions about NRF51 & SDK

Hi all,
I'm new to NRF51, and have downloaded the "nRF51_SDK_10.0.0" zip file. Here I have some questions about NRF51 and its SDK files. (1) Is there an off-line documentation for the SDK? Currently, I need to view the documentation on-line and needs a VPN to connect the web link each time. Seems my country has declined the web access to the web link, same with the NORDIC official website too.

(2) What's softDevice? Is it a SOC device? I'm going to use nRF51822, maybe nRF52 series, but there are several version of softDevice, I don't know which one I shall use. Any document to point it out?

Best regards.

    (1) From SDK 9.0.0, SDK documentation is online. SDK 8.1.0 and earlier was available online. You are not the first one to comment on this and we are reconsidering to have SDK documentation offline again. At this point, I can not promise anything though.

    (2) Hopefully this thread can answer your question. Additionally, the S130 softdevice is both BLE central and BLE peripheral enabled simultaneously for nRF51. For nRF52, the S132 has same capabilities as S130 for nRF51. S212 for nRF52 is she same as S210 for nRF51. S332 for nRF52 is BLE central + BLE peripheral + ANT enabled. S310 for nRF51 is BLE peripheral + ANT enabled.

    Update 4.1.2016 (1) There is a link here that suggests how to construct offline documentation from the infocenter
