RE: how to use softdevice s110 v6.2 on sdk 10

Simple answer: you don't use the S110 V6.2 on SDK 10. Refer to the Compatibility matrix. As for the reason why I'll just quoite myself from this thread:

What you need to know is that there has been three revisions of the nRF51 throughout the years. Each revision is an improvement of the previous revision, more specifically, several bugs existing in 1st revision were fixed in the 2nd revision, and bugs still present in 2nd revision were fixed in 3rd revision. Newer SDKs and Softdevices assumes that these bugs are fixed and hence, won't work on old IC revisions as they contain the bugs. However, not all of the features in the newer SDKs and Softdevices relies on these bug fixes and that is why your particular application, using incompatible IC revision, SDK, and Softdevice, might work just fine. What is certain is that Nordic has no way of testing every single use case involving every combination of IC revisions, SDKs, and Softdevices and hence, we will not make any guarantees other than what is stated in the Compatibility matrix, nor will we give any comments on what might or might not work. My sole advice is: stick to the Compatibility matrix.

I don't know what nRF51 revision you have, but as stated in the quote above you should also take this into account when you decide what SDK and Softdevice to use.

Here is another relevant thread.
