ETA of PC-BLE-driver 0.6.0 as .lib and H file

Hi, when can we expect to see next version of PC-BLE-driver for PC C code?

Hi,

At the moment, a release of pc-ble-driver is planned, but a date is not set yet as we have a couple of other releases to go through first. However, the content of this blog post refers to the most updated version of pc-ble-driver.

The pc-ble-driver you can find in the repos is updated to the SD 2.0. It builds as both a static and dynamic library out of the box. We use the static libraries in both the release of the python bindings and in our javascript bindings, and utilize the python bindings in test projects in-house and the javascript bindings in our upcoming product, nRF Connect. The library is well tested.

What we lack before a release is more thorough testing as well as examples. But everything you need to compile it yourself should be included.

Building pc-ble-driver should be easy:

1. Download and build boost following this guide (Any version after 1.54 should be ok)
2. Install cmake (3.3 or later)
3. Check out the pc-ble-driver repos from github
4. Run cmake CMakeLists.txt in the root-checkout folder

The lib files should now be in the build/Release.

Hopefully this will help you.

Thanks, this worked, How do I get the H file to be able to use the LIB file?

The header-files should be in the include folder.

Thank you, now I can use the lib, dll and h files in my c++ project!

Would it be possible to get the HEX file for the NRF5x for 1Mbit uart? We would benefit from higher throughput when doing DFU from PC
