How can I get connectivity version and SD API using pc-ble-driver

[jpo38]

When I send my app to people, it uses a specific version of pc-ble-driver. I would like to make sure dongle used was programmed with the hex file package with this specific pc-ble-driver.

I see "nRF Connect" is able to do so, as it reports wfetr opening the dongle:

14:25:09.017 Validating connectivity firmware for device with serial number DDBBED9DE4DF...
14:25:09.024 Connectivity firmware is valid.
14:25:09.024 Connectivity firmware version: ble-connectivity 0.1.0+Aug-14-2018-15-12-51. SoftDevice API version: 3. Baud rate: 1000000.

Is it possible to know how to retrieve this connectivity version info from the dongle? I found in pc-ble-driver API a sde_ble_version_get function, but this only give very few information (the only relevant one is revision_number, I understand 135 means SD API v2 and 145 SD API v3 but I'm not even sure).

HI,

Currently this is done from nRF Connect, but we may also have chosen to implement it in pc-ble-driver directly. My understanding is that it was done in nRF Connect because that was a more convenient abstraction layer. I see that we provide JavaScript wrappers for nrfjprog through pc-nrfjprog-js, as well as Python wrappers through pynrfjprog.

In any case I will add a feature request for providing the data through pc-ble-driver. Maybe we can get that in the future.
