Can ble-driver-win be used with a s130 v2.0 dongle?

[jpo38]

Latest ble-driver-win version is 0.5.0 and supports SDK up to version 8.1.0.

s130 v2.0 needs SDK v11.0.0 (API changed).

So should I understand that ble-driver-win cannot be used here? Is a next release planned to support s130 v2.0?

There is no supported version of pc-ble-driver for S130 v2.0. But as we require support for S130 v2.0 ourselves for other projects, the work with the conversion is done, and available to you as part of another repository.

For ease of development, pc-ble-driver has been moved into our javascript add-on repository, pc-ble-driver-js (github.com/.../pc-ble-driver-js). If you look into the driver folder there, the pc-ble-driver is available.

That version has NO documentation, NO examples, it builds into a static library (can be tweaked in the cmake setup), and there are no Python bindings.

pc-ble-driver will be moved to its original repository, documented, and get examples after the release of nRF Connect 1.0. The exact language bindings are not sure at the moment, except from Javascript which are already developed.

The source code of the release will be available on github (github.com/.../pc-ble-driver), so you will be able to compile it for whatever platform you want.

We will most likely release binaries for win64, win32, Ubuntu (14.04 and/or 16.04), and OS X.
