I contacted dynastream/garmin at the beginning of September. They said they were targeting an S332 release v6.1.x for end of last month and an S340 release for the D52 module family in Q4 2018, followed by a general chip only release in 1H 2019

I'm also interested.

Is there any news about the s340 softdevice?

Hi goldwake,

I don't have an update. Since my initial response, there could have been changes in the roadmap. Please contact Dynastream directly, or contact your local RSM. They might be able to give you an update on this matter.

Hi Sigurd, any updates on this? Do you know anything about the time frames? Are we looking at days, weeks, or months before s340 is released?

Hi,

Yes, the nRF52840 support BLE, ANT/ANT+, 802.15.4, and user-proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols. Unfortunately, there is no BLE+ANT SoftDevice available right now, but it’s right around the corner, and it will be called S340. For more detailed information regarding release schedules and roadmaps, please contact your local Nordic Regional Sales Manager(RSM). If you do not have any contact information, then let me know where you're based in a PM and I will provide you with the local RSMs contact info.
I believe it will be named S340.
You will need to wait for a SDK that support S340. It might be available in the upcoming SDK 15.1, but you should check with your local RSM.
Yes, for ANT you need both 32 MHz and a 32 kHz crystal. The LF clock source(32 kHz) must have a frequency tolerance better than 50 ppm for ANT applications.
