Which sdk version for ic rev 2 devices

[Adib]

Hello All,

The compatibility matrix states that the sdk for rev 2 devices has been discontinued on version 6.1.

We have some other products with rev 3 devices where we can use sdk ver 10.0.

We want to use sd130.

I do not find a clear answer for:

• is sdk 10.0 usable for rev2 devices production Code

• does sd130 runs on rev2 devices?

I am curious because we have build sd130 on rev2 devices using keil packs. And there is no limitation for driver version etc. at all. Alo i am curious how to maintain source compatibility because the new sdk often add/delete/update api.

Regards, Adib.

Hi

It is all there in the Compatibility matrix.

• is sdk 10.0 usable for rev2 devices production Code? No
• does sd130 runs on rev2 devices? No

However, your particular application might seem to run fine on a rev2, but you should always stick to the compatibility matrix of reasons described here.

Hi,

Your application can work on the SDK10 and with S130, I have tested one application that I made for the rev3 and it worked on one rev2 chip (I only made this because in the beginning the people that gave me the chip told me it was a rev3). So you need to test yourself your application.

The only thing that Nordic explain with the compatibility matrix is that if they say it works with some SDK or SD it really works, but if they don't say it can work depending on the modules you use and the changes that were made between rev 2 and rev 3.

Hello Jorge,

which SDK can I use for 51422 IC rev 2, SD 120 v2? I am using central role.

Am I assume correctly SDK 6.1.0?

This is a relevant thread.

EDIT: SDK V6.1.0 and S120 V2.x are both fully compatible with nRF51 rev 2. However this SDK and SD is not tested together. Hence there is an '-' in the nRF51 SDK column to the left of 2.x in the S120 Sd column.

The SDKs are dependent on the SDs, as they use a lot of the functions in the SDs, but the SDs are not dependent on the SDKs. SDK V6.1.0 used together with S120 V2.x might work just fine for you, but it also might not. Proceed at your own discretion.

As Martin said, I can't say to you what will work. You need to test it yourself, because it is going to depend on the modules you are going to use, and I only tested with my application.
