Does ble_connectivity / ser_s112_hci give HCI compatibility with SoftDevice?

I cannot find any useful information on the purpose of this project: examples\connectivity\ble_connectivity\pca10040e\ser_s112_hci  (and likewise with other boards & SoftDevices)

It would appear from the name that this is a HCI compatible controller project, based on SD 112.

But I have found numerous forum posts that suggest Nordic does not support HCI and to use NimBLE / Zephyr instead.

I need to run a NRF52832 or NRF52810 (preferred) as a HCI controller only, and will do NimBLE if necessary, but using SoftDevice would be a better solution for me.

Could anybody clear this up please? Thank you!
