Certification for BT using the Nordic released Software

[FACE@shibuya]

We are develping the BT production by using the Nordic sample program (SampleSoft_NRF5340-AUDIO-DK).
(  nRF Connect SDK version is SDK25.0. )
Does this software certify to BT SIG ?
In my understainding, if thie software has already certified by BT SIG, we don't need the evaluation of protocol stack  in the BT certification. 
Is it right ?

Hello,

Yes, you are correct. For the nRF5340 Audio application in nRF Connect SDK v2.5.0 we have QDIDs for the Bluetooth LE host and the LE Audio-specific Controller subsystem.

Note that we don't have any QDIDs for LE Audio profiles in any nRF Connect SDK releases so far. Also note that the LE Audio-specific Controller subsystem is deprecated from nRF Connect SDK v2.6.0.

Best regards,

Thank you for your answer.

I have a question about your mote.
You said that SDK v2.5.0 have the QDID.
However, SDK v2.6.0 don’t have the QDID.
Will you plan to get the SDK v2.6.0 ?
If you don’t plan to get QDID of the SDK v2.6.0,
Why don’t you get ?

Best Regards,

We do have QDIDs for nRF Connect SDK v2.6.x (and also for v2.7.0). From nRF Connect SDK v2.6.0, the LE Audio-specific Controller subsystem is deprecated and the SoftDevice Controller subsystem supports LE Audio. We have a QDID for the SoftDevice Controller subsystem which is to be used for LE audio products developed witn nRF Connect SDK v2.6.0 and newer. Please see the full overview of available QDIDs for nRF5340 here.
