RE: How to check which mbr softdevice api stack is programmed and currently running on my device?

Hi,

Take a look at this tutorial on how to adapt the pca10056 examples to work on the dongle (in short, you need to change the preprocessor define BOARD_PCA10056 to BOARD_PCA10059).

Yes, nRF connect app is helpful for me to detect the stack. Thanks.

Further, If I wanted to change an example available for PCA10056 to work with PCA10059, what are the file and configuration changes needed? I want to test eddystone example work with nRF dongle.

Hi,

[quote userid="75091" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/46537/how-to-check-which-mbr-softdevice-api-stack-is-programmed-and-currently-running-on-my-device"] However, the documentation for eddystone says that "This example requires one of the following SoftDevices: S112, S132".[/quote]

We have eddystone example for nRF52840-DK(pca10056) and the S140 also, so this is a documentation bug.

You can e.g. check it with nRF Connect programmer app:

If you need to check it run-time, then it's defined in nrf_sdm.h as well, see this link.

No, If you are using the nRF52840-DK, then you need to use the pca10056/s140 project.It's already configured correctly.

[quote userid="75091" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/46537/how-to-check-which-mbr-softdevice-api-stack-is-programmed-and-currently-running-on-my-device"]I am using Segger Embedded Studio but there is no toolchain associated with SES for each softdevice stack. Does SES requires no any toolchain configuration?[/quote]

There are different SES projects for the different boards and SoftDevices. If you are using nRF52840-DK, then use the project under pca10056/s140 (i.e. SDK_folder\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_eddystone\pca10056\s140\ses).
