Is the NRF52840 support by SoftDevice S132? and also with the SDK(nRF5_SDK_v13.x.x) ?

[Kelper]

Currently i am testing the nRF52840 Preview DK DFU function. Is the NRF52840 support by SoftDevice(S132)? and also match with the SDK(nRF5_SDK_v13.x.x) ?

thanks!

Hello,

You need to use the S140 SoftDevice for nRF52840.

nRF52840 Preview DK is supported by SDK v13.x.x and later.

SDK v13.x.x supports the softdevice S140 SoftDevice v5.0.0-2.alpha.

Hi Bastien Reynard,

Thank you!

BTW, I can't get the S140(s140_nrf52840_6.0.0-6.alpha) ID using the command "nrfutil pkg generate --help",

because the S140 ID info lack.  Therefore,using nrfgo,  I program the SoftDevice hex, and see the ID info:

the S140 ID is 0xfffe, right? why the dialog shows "Firmware: Unknown" ?

[Bastien Reynard]

The latest version of nRFGo Studio was released in 2015, and the SD140 didn't exist at the time, that's why. Don't worry about it.

You will find more informations about FWIDs in this thread.

Thank you.

relate to S140(s140_nrf52840_6.0.0-6.alpha).

the firmware id above(0xfffe) is not right one?

normally, the firmware id is only one byte.like:

|s130_nrf51_1.0.0|0x67
|s130_nrf51_2.0.0|0x80
|s132_nrf52_2.0.0|0x81
|s130_nrf51_2.0.1|0x87
|s132_nrf52_2.0.1|0x88
|s132_nrf52_3.0.0|0x8C
|s132_nrf52_3.1.0|0x91
|s132_nrf52_4.0.0|0x95
|s132_nrf52_4.0.2|0x98
|s132_nrf52_4.0.3|0x99
|s132_nrf52_4.0.4|0x9E
|s132_nrf52_5.0.0|0x9D
|s132_nrf52_5.1.0|0xA5

It's on 2 bytes, see the link in my previous answer.

0xFFFE is for "Development/Any". We would need Nordic advice here, but it's probably because that is an alpha release?

Yes, all Softdevices that are an alpha release will have that ID.
