HomeKit with s132 2.0.0-7.alpha

[Mike Voytovich]

Hi,

I'm attempting to use Version 2.1.0 of the HomeKit SDK on an nRF52. We're using the s132 SoftDevice 2.0.0-7.alpha (the SoftDevice in the latest nRF5 SDK v11.0.0).

However, I see that this version of the HomeKit SDK requires version 1.0.0-3.alpha of the s132 SoftDevice, which I believe is causing an error when we run it with version 2.0.0-7.alpha.

In particular, the gattdb_init() routine in libnrf52hkble.a is generating an error when attempt to initialize our HomeKit services.

I realize that there are some API changes between 1.0.0-3.alpha and 2.0.0-7.alpha. Would you expect that those API changes are what is causing gattdb_init() to fail?

Any ETA on an update of the HomeKit SDK to work with the latest s132 SoftDevice?

Thanks!

Good point - this issue may not be a SoftDevice incompatibility at all, but rather an SDK incompatibility (the HomeKit SDK is using the nRF52 SDK 0.9.2, rather than the latest nRF5 SDK 11.0.0).

You were trying to change SDK as well as softdevice and mix and match that with the HK libraries, I think that's just world of hurt territory, not surprised it didn't work. I see S130 and S132 v2 non alpha just got released so .. I'm going to be hopeful we're getting close to the next HK SDK release.

Thanks for the input @RK. Yea at this point I don't want to move backwards with the SDK and/or SoftDevice in my project, so I really can't include the HK libraries if there are breaking changes with SDK 11.0.0 and/or SoftDevice 2.0.0-7 alpha, which does indeed seem to be the case.

Hopefully you're correct that a new HK SDK will be released soon!
