Is the nRF52 device going to support long packets in the future?

[Jose Diaz]

I am looking for a device with support for the 4.2, long packets (up to 255 bytes) feature. I see that the nRF52 is a 4.2 device. But for what I understand the optional long data packets is not supported.

Is there a plan to have in the future a new SDK to enable this feature in the device? Is the hardware compatible with it?

Nordic continually states that larger MTU is a feature in development, so I'm sure it will turn up sooner or later, along with other great features we're all looking forward to.

Thanks for the information. So it seems that it will be a FW update for the existing hardware, in this case I can go ahead buying the evaluation board.

And of course you can expect the next question.... Is there a foreseen date for this new SDK? I am interested to know if it will be in the months, half a year, a year...
