Thank you for your polite advice.
I understood the relationship between SDK and softdevice.

The SDK and SoftDevice compatibility matrix, available here, show the relationship between SoftDevice and SDK versions.

As you can see SDK v14.0.0 is designed to work with S132 v5.0.x.

If you want to use S132 v6 you should use the latest, v6.1.1, and combine it with SDK v15.3.0.

When you use Keil the SoftDevice is programmed separately from the application, and you don't have to include it as a pack or runtime library.

When using any of the nRF52832 examples in the nRF5 SDK v15.0.0 you can flash the S132 v6.0.0 as described in this article:

I didn't understand the relationship between SDK version and softdevice.

I was trying to incorporate softdevice 6.1.0 into an SDK version 14.0.0 project.

I adjusted the memory allocation, but I noticed that I was debugging that the softdevice function is not supported.
The version of softdevice corresponding to the SDK version is determined.
Therefore, if there are fatal bugs in the old SDK or softdevice currently in use, both must be updated.
