Hi,

Yes, it is possible to use the nRF51822 for Bluetooth communication without using our softdevice (bluetooth stack). However, it is not possible to have bluetooth communication without some software implementing the actual bluetooth protocol.

I would recommend that you use our stack, or one of the open source projects that @freqmod mention. It is also possible to do simple Bluetooth advertising, by using the radio peripheral directly and the bluetooth access address. Connections and more advanced functionality of the bluetooth protocol does require much code to work, and is not something I would recommend doing.

Best regards,

Jørgen
