Hi,
Are there any chances to run S112 on nRF52832 or is only compatible with nRF52810 ?

Hi,
Yes, you can run the S112 on the nRF52832.
From the s112_nrf52810_5.1.0-2.alpha release notes we have this statement:
Device Compatibility
This SoftDevice is built and tested for nRF52810. For development purposes this SoftDevice can be run on the nRF52832, but some of the Errata workarounds for that device are not present in this version of the alpha SoftDevice. This may result in minor performance and stability issues on nRF52832.
Why would the errata affect the Softdevice? My understanding is that most of the errata are worked around by the startup code, which is separate from the Softdevice. I have the same question; since I think s112 is sufficient for my purpose, and smaller(?), I want to use s112 on all my boards, whether they are 52810 or 52832. I suppose some 52832 errata must be worked around by the app or softdevice code, and you are saying the softdevice s112 doesn't. Since I think the DK for developing for s112 and 52810 is the 52DK using a 52832, if the s112 doesn't workaround the errata, there is no stable development kit for the 52810? Is there another Nordic or third party DK that is stable?

Hi,
Most of the errata’s are handled in startup-code and drives, but some errata’s are also handled in the SoftDevice, e.g. errata’s that also affect peripherals that the SoftDevice uses.
The statement in the answer above was from an alpha version of the SoftDevice. In the S112 v5.1.0 release note we have the following statement.
The SoftDevice is built, production tested, and qualified for use with nRF52810.
The SoftDevice is not production tested and qualified for use with nRF52832. However, the SoftDevice can be used for development purposes on the nRF52832 if minor performance and stability issues are accepted during development.
The nRF52832-DK can be used to develope for both nRF52832 and nRF52810. See this user guide on how to use the nRF52832-DK to develop for the nRF52810.
