@motlib: I'm sorry to hear. We are aware of this issue but still don't have a decision yet. However, most of the documentation can be found offline. For example the Softdevice specification are available in pdf format (you can download them from infocenter), the SDK description for functions, are available in the header files when the function are described.

Hope that helped.

Is there any news related to providing an offline version of the help contents by Nordic?

Background of my question: I am living in China and the access to the contents of the Nordic website most of the time is really slow or even times out. It's very annoying especially when I just want to briefly look up an API definition or something similar. And that means a web scraper can also not easily be used.

I also tried the function "Print selected topic and sub-topics" in the Infocenter, but it does not let me print more than 100 topics. But e.g. to print the nRF51 softdevice texts, it says it would need to print 10923 topics which is not allowed. :-(

Thanks - I thought it was worth reporting I tried it out - it was an abject failure. Those web scrapers are pretty good at pulling in limited sites which are very static, it didn't really work out so well for the infocenter where the links are a bit more interesting.

Thanks RK, for reporting. We are working for a solution for offline documentation. For now downloading the whole infocenter website is not recommended.

Re-animating this ancient thread it continues to be quite annoying not to have documentation available for download. Since I'm heading somewhere for two weeks which has 50c/minute satellite internet I thought I'd try httrack to pull in some docs, I don't recommend it. Despite restricting it to what looked like a reasonable sub-domain of the infocenter it ran for 3 days, pulled in 18Gb of data before I finally gave up and stopped it. What it has managed to produce is a fairly crude facsimile of bits of the website, with no expandable buttons, bad linking and .. it's not really usable.

I guess my next attempt is to try doxygen to at least come up with a skeleton docset to take with me.

I do wish Nordic would return to producing at least some downloadable documentation to go with each SDK and softdevice release; not everyone is connected to the Internet 24x7 and even when you are, the Infocenter from 1/2 the world away i..s.. s...l...o....w

Hi Dan,

One of the point when we decided to move from offline documentation system to an online one is to make it easier and faster to keep the documentation up-to-date. For example, an update on a article don't have to wait a few weeks or even months to be added in a release of the new SDK.

But if you want you can always download a website. You can find the tool by doing a search for: download an entire website, for example here.
