The SoftDevice firmware ID is stored inside the SoftDevice HEX file and is retrieved through the macro SD_FWID_GET. Also, see FWID in this post for s132_nrf52_3.0.0.

Unfortunately, today I use in my product SDK 12.2 and SoftDevice 3.0.0.

This product was developed 8 years ago.

I only consider upgrading. Because it I need solution that works from SDK 12.2

I need to be able to get version of SoftDevice from 3.0.0

There is nothing about it in SDK 12.2

Please advice

Hi,

I guess you are using nRF5 SDK/S132. If so, you can check S132 SoftDevice:ble_version_t::subversion_number:
Layer Sub Version number corresponds to the SoftDevice Config ID or Firmware ID (FWID).

You can find the Firmware ID in the release notes located under nRF5_SDK\components\softdevice\s132\doc
