RE: Is S332 SoftDevice v6.1.0 compatible with SDK v15.2.0?

grndkntrl — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 02:37:05 GMT

There was no (public?) release of S332 v6.1.0 as far as I'm aware.

It went straight from v5.0.0 for SDK14.X, to v6.1.1 for SDK15.2.0/15.3.0.

However it wasn't officially supported in 15.2.0 as it wasn't ready in time for that SDK release.

See the following related posts for background/backstory:

Now with SDK15.3.0 being released yesterday, S332 (plus S212 & S340) v6.1.1 is now officially supported, as per the release notes:
