The idea is also to be able to step through the driver code to solve problems like I am getting with a reply method in the security exchange. I was asked to do that in another post by a Nordic engineer. It was something I was hoping to avoid given all the third party software I would have to install on my system.

Hi,

You do not need boost for building the pc-ble-driver 4.0.0 (it was needed for version 3, but that did not use asio).

I already know that I do not need Catch2 and spdlog..With asio is it not clear if it is the boost or non boost version

Hi,

[quote user=""]What are these?[/quote]

You do not typically need to care about the dependencies other than making sure they are met, but if you want to know more about them I guess it is better to check their repositories and/or documentation:

Unless you have a lot of time and want to tweek things to your liking, I suggest you just follow the instructions under Compiling pc-ble-driver from source when you need to build the pc-ble-driver yourself.
