https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/15098/can-softdevice-soc-api-be-used-when-the-softdevice-is-disabledI am using SDK 11.0.0 and S132 on a nRF52832. In my application, my device can operate in BLE mode with the SoftDevice enabled or in custom RF mode with the SoftDevice disabled. When the SoftDevice is disabled, is it safe to use the SoftDevice SoC functionsen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 19 Jul 2016 12:49:13 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/57668?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 19 Jul 2016 12:49:13 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:dd386aaa-1bf0-4447-bd43-294e26b3f2c8abkirchhoff<p>RK, thanks your answer.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/57667?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:35:28 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:89c9fdec-1e26-41ea-bfbd-626dff32635eRK<p>No you can&#39;t use the sd functions when the softdevice is disabled. In that case, just call the basic nrf driver functions which do the same thing, or write the registers directly. Many of those softdevice SoC functions only exist to guard shared resources when the SD is active and have one-line counterparts in the SDK.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
