Hi,

I believe you are referring to S130 V1. SDK 11 is supposed to be used with the new S130 V2.0.1 which is capable of 8 concurrent connections. Refer to S130 SDS V2 Chapter 11.4 "BLE role Configuration":

The SoftDevice can be configured with one connections as a Peripheral and up to eight connections as a Central. The SoftDevice supports running one Advertiser or Broadcaster and one Scanner or Observer concurrently with the BLE connections.

Thanks Ladasky, I refined my question

What chip and/or development board are you using? I am using the nRF52 Preview board (PCA 10036). I learned the hard way that the PCA 10036 can't go beyond SDK 0.9.2. I spent days trying to debug code that never would have worked.

A Nordic engineer who helped me spot my problem agreed that the notice to upgrade to SDK 0.11.0 should be accompanied with a more prominent notice that certain hardware is not supported by the new SDK.
