BLE central & peripheral

[Frederic]

Hello,

My application is really close to the example named BLE relay example in the DK. We could start from this example and adapt it to our needs. The problem is that this example is labelled "experimental". Does that means that:

- You do not trust your hardware enough for a such application?

- You do not trust your software enough for a such application?

Would you recommand using this example as a starting base for our project?

Best regards,

Frédéric

Hi Frédéric,

It is related to software, not hardware. Examples marked as experimental does not have a full testing procedure designed to uncover all flaws we can imagine, so there may be unknown software bugs. We generally do not recommend using experimental examples as stable code in end-user products without testing the implementation very well yourself. For a proof of concept or for use in early development experimental examples are well suited.

Thanks for this answer. I have further questions:

- When you are talking about software, you are talking about the softdevice (where we have no control) or about the application software?

- Do you plan to fully test those examples and remove the "experimental" label in a near future or things will stay that way?

Hi,

- I’m talking about the application software/firmware for the example found in the SDK. It is that specific SDK example firmware that is marked as experimental. The SoftDevice is in production quality, and is not marked as experimental.

- We try to get examples marked as experimental into production quality, and remove the experimental label, but getting the ble_app_hrs_rscs_relay example out of experimental stage have not been prioritized in the past. I’m personally not aware of any plans about getting that specific example out of experimental stage in the next release. But if you have any questions about roadmaps and release schedules you should instead contact your local Nordic Regional Sales Manager(RSM). If you don’t know who your RSM is, please let me know.
