Can bootloader in SDK V11 boot into SDK V12/13/14 application

[Roland]

From document seems bootloader in SDK v12/13/14 does not support HCI/UART transport yet. So have to use SDK V11 bootloader.

However the application is based on SDK V13/V14. So the question is can SDK V11 bootloader boot into SDK V12/13/14 application?

Thanks Hung.

I saw that link, however when i click the 'BootLoader module' link on that page, its bit confusing that following text still present: infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

"However, the current implementation of the bootloader modules does not provide the full functionality yet. The current implementation focuses on a bootloader that allows Device Firmware Updates over BLE and that can be extended with security and compatibility checks. If you need a DFU bootloader that supports serial (HCI/UART) transport, use the DFU bootloader example from a previous version of the SDK (v11.0.0 or earlier) instead of the bootloader modules. "

Seem inconsistent. Which one is correct?

Another question as a new starter, the DFU example in V11 includes both BLE & UART, while in V13/14 the BLE and UART mode are in 2 seperate examples. Is there any special consideration behind this? the 2 main.c file looks the same though.
