Does the nRF51822-mKIT come with SDK access?

[marus]

I'm just trying to determine if I get full SDK access with the nRF51822-mKIT; or if that requires nRF51822-EK/DK? The current posts on the boards seem to be conflicting in this regard:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ (blog post by Nordic Employee Håkon Alseth) seems to imply that you can use the nrf51-dsk with the mbed kit.

On the other hand the responses to devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ and devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ seem to imply that you cannot access the SDK with the purchase of the mKIT (making the blog post about using the mKIT with the SDK rather pointless).

Just trying to get a clear picture of if I get full SDK access with the mKIT or not.

It was not my intention to say that you could not get access to the SDK with the purchase of the mKIT (as in access to the SDK from the download page). However, what I meant is that the mKIT is not intended to be used with the SDK, and even if there are workarounds (as Håkon mentioned in the blog), there are still many limits with this approach, e.g. you cannot debug the code or flash a bootloader. Hence, you will not get "access" to all the features provided by the SDK running on an mKIT.
