Very nice answer RK! Thanks.

FYI, there is no HW difference between 422 and 822. There's a difference in the chip settings that allows the ANT softdevices to be programmed into the 422. But as RK states, the 422 can handle all softdevices which makes it the super set chip.

RK, Thank you so much for the info. I guess I missed the latest announcements and was thinking that sdk 6.1.0 was the latest one. regards, Sam

SDK 7.x
There isn't one in the 6.x SDK, use 7.x, or roll your own board definition file if you want to keep using 6.x.
Yes nrf51422 runs nrf51822 software, not the other way around, the nrf51422 does all the nrf51822 does plus it can run ANT (I never did figure out what the hardware difference was which is required for ANT).

I believe this is all explained on the site somewhere under the product announcement for the new chips or the 7.x SDK, don't remember, I read it somewhere.
