BLE version

[klaus1234]

Hi

I took over a nordic project and was asked about the bluetooth version used in that project. 

How Do I figure this out?

I am using a nrf52833. The firmware is developed using NRF Connect SDK v2.6.0

Thx

Hi,

I would recommend you to take a look at the following compatibility matrix documentation: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/comp_matrix_nrf52833/page/COMP/nrf52833/nrf52833_ble_qdid_qual_matrix.html#nRF52833_ble_qdid_qual_matrix

According to this, nRF52833 supports Bluetooth version 5.4 from nRF Connect SDK v2.6.0. From v.2.8.0, it can support Bluetooth version 6.0.

Best Regards,

Samruddhi

Hi

I understand it supports 5.4. But as between 5.1 and 5.4 there are only software version differences, i need to figure out which BLE version is used in my specific project. So some where in my project files or the softdevice version should say the BLE version, no?

Hi,

You can use the Softdevice API in order to get the device's BLE address. Try using the function sd_ble_gap_address_get. This can be used to get the address and sd_ble_gap_address_set function can be used to modify the address.

Hi

"sd_ble_gap_address_get" how is this related to the BLE version?????

[Vidar Berg]

The bluetooth version is determined by the version of the specification that the stack was qualified against (see the listing tables linked in Samruddhi Jadhav 's first answer). The BLE features supported by your app do not change this.

ok, and how is "sd_ble_gap_address_get"is related to that?

Hi,

Apologies for the confusion. Please follow the link to the table in my first answer.
