Error 102/106/107 in Engineering C Errata

Question

Hi, 
 We're using SR3 v1.1 for several BLE R/C. 
 Early this month, we received information of Engineering C Errata. 
 It suggests that we upgrade to SR3 v1.2 for fixing some errors relative to RADIO issues (error 102/106/107). 
 After comparing these two version of codes, we think it is not possible for us to complete the upgrade and verification before the date of mass-production. 
 Instead of upgrading to SR3 v1.2, we think that we could fix these errors only in current code based on SR3 v1.1. 
 Studying the errata, we still no clue about how to fix them. 
 We are in a hurry to catch the mass-production date! 
 Can anyone tell how to fix these errors clearly? 
 Thanks!

Hi, 
 Ralph said: I'd like to ask one thing: what will happen if we using old softdevice on new chip? Does the error 102/106/107 will be corrected? 
 No. If you use an old softdevice(older than v.6.0) with the new chip(revision 2), the chip will behave equal to a revision 1 chip. 
 In order for the fix that is implemented in revision 2 chip to take effect, the register described in Errata 182 will need to be written when you enable the RADIO peripheral. This will need to be handled by the SoftDevice(starting from S132 v.6.0). 
 Summarized: 
 In the case you want erratums #102, #106, #107 fixed, on either revision 1 or revision 2, you need to use one of these softdevices: 
 
 S132 v4 or v5 
 S132 v6 (applies #182 for revision 2 devices, which enables a hardware fix for #102/106/107) 
 
 In the case of using S132 v3 or older, you cannot workaround issues #102, #106, #107, and you cannot apply erratum #182 on revision 2 devices to enable the HW fix.
