Thank you for the suggestion Anthony. I've forwarded it to the correct people and we'll look into adding these links to the DevAcademy front page.

Best regards,

Simon

Side note, you should drop this link and "Debunking misconceptions: A technical analysis of nRF5 SDK and nRF Connect SDK" in the educational front page and label it something like, "Start moving beyond nrf5 SDK and into nRF Connect SDK!"

Thats great. Like I said, I have been working with Nordic over the years (5) but not with Bluetooth, which is fairly unusual for this group these days.

Hi Anthony

The old SoftDevices and their numbers are no longer used in the nRF Connect SDK, that is correct. The SoftDevice controller and Zephyr controllers have taken over this role in the Zephyr based nRF Connect SDK. I hope that clears things up for you. Some more details on the SoftDevice and the LE controllers in NCS can be found in the nRF Connect SDK vs nRF5 SDK statement post available here.

Best regards,

Simon
