PC-BLE-Driver support for SoftDevice 140

[alex.barteau]

My understanding is that the nRF52840, which is the only nordic device to support the long range bluetooth physical layer. Additionally this chip requires SoftDevices 140 for long range support.

What is the timeline to bring SoftDevice140 into the pc-ble-driver? And how long after that to to bring support into pc-ble-driver-py and -js?

Hi,

I cannot give any exact dates, but we are working on support for s140 softdevice. This should be available within a few months. It should not take long from release in pc-ble-driver to the -py and -js bindings are updated, as these are used by our development tools. 

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hello Jørgen,

Now that it has been 6 months, is it possible for you to give an updated estimate for pc-ble-driver-py bindings?

Thanks,
Alex

Unfortunately, I do not have any schedule for when Python bindings will be added. Support will come first in pc-ble-driver (C/C++ version), then pc-ble-driver-js (for support in nRF Connect), and finally in pc-ble-driver-py. You can follow the development in the feature/v6-upgrade branch on GitHub.
