Arduino SDK no longer available

[K. Townsend]

The Arduino SDK by David Edwin linked to here is no longer available since the Bluetooth forum seems to be down, and has been for some time: devzone.nordicsemi.com/arduino

Is there an alternative download source for these files?

Hi, I always try to keep code delivered by vendors under source code control so that I can track their changes. The "original" ZIP file I had for the BLE SDK for Android came from the link Ole mentioned: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/files/ble-sdk-arduino-0.1.1.zip

The text files in that archive all had Unix format line endings (meaning just LF for line endings). To put those files into our GIT archive I had to use a special GIT attributes file since on my Windows system I expect CR/LF line endings. Then the archive delivered here had all the same files in Windows format with CR/LF line endings. So, of course, all the text files shows up as completely different even though only the hal_aci_tl.cpp file actually changed.

So, I'm just wondering how you folks are going to deliver archives for this product in the future? Unix or Windows format? I don't really care that much which way it is. I just would hope the format wouldn't change. Although I do have to say that in the Arduino world it seems that most everything comes through in Windows format the way this archive is.

I've been writing SW for far too long and how I hate the fact that Windows and Unix aren't consistent with respect to line endings. Sort of like the annoying big/little endian differences all of us embedded developers run into at one point or another ;-).
