Is IoT SDK still actual?

[SergeyP]

According to developer.nordicsemi.com/.../ the IoT SDK was last time updated 11 months ago, which looks like a long time... therefore the question: Is IoT SDK still supported and recommended for new development or something else/newer was released instead?

I have purchased NRF52DK and wondering whether it makes sense to spend time learning that SDK or I should focus on some other SDK. My goal is to be enable IPV6 over BLE.

The IoT SDK is still supported. If your goal is to do IPv6 over BLE I recommend starting to get familiar with it.

But:

• It is built on a SoftDevice that is a technology prototype only. It should not be used in production. See this.

• I'm not aware of any commercial routers that supports IPv6 over BLE, see this for more information.

Edit 06.07.2017

We will release a production ready IoT SDK in Q3 this year. It will be built on SoftDevice S132 v5, so no longer prototype, but a production version.

So it is absolutely still worth looking into.

Yes, that's our plan. For more information you should contact the Regional Sales Manager for your area, if you don't know who it is, send me a PM with your location, and I'll let you know.
