There are minimum requirements on your hardware for a particular softdevice to work correctly. This is mentioned in the compatibility matrx.

You can find that here for nRF51 and here for nRF52

If you ensure that your hardware revision is supported by softdevice version in the given matrix, then you are good to go.

The heartrate example is not just softdevice dependent but also SDK dependent. You can also see which version of SDK has this example and see if that SDK revision is supported on your hardware using that compatibility matrix.
