update softdevice version

[moon.kim]

Hello.

I developed the device using the nRF52810.

SDK 15.0.0 and S112 6.0.0 were used.

I recently noticed a new Bluetooth Core Specification v5.1 update to S112 Ver 7.0.1.

Do I need to change my soft device version for certification like Bluetooth SIG / CE / FCC?

Hi Moon.kim, 

No, an End Product QDID is valid as long as the underlying specification it is qualified against is not deprecated or withdrawn. So you can safely use the S112 v6.0.0 End Product QDID, https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/12514, when listing your product as this QDID is qualified against the Bluetooth v5.0 specification, which is not going to be withdrawn for a very long time. 

There should be no issues to get CE and FCC certification with the S112 v6.0.0 running on the nRF52810. 

Best regards

Hello.

Thank you for your quick response.

I found TCRL 2019-2 released at the link below.

https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/qualification-test-requirements/

The TCRL version of QDID you gave me is 2017-1.

Should I use the latest TCRL version for Bluetooth SIG certification? Is it possible to use Bluetooth SIG certification with this version?

Hello

Finally, I want to check it again.

I checked QDID 49943. This QDID has the service I want.

The model number is written  'multiprofile subsystem for nRF5x'.

However, the design name is written 'nRF51 SDK'. Is this QDID valid for nRF52 using S120?

[bjorn-spockeli]

The design name does not matter, the important thing is that it lists the S112 SoftDevice. The Profile Subsystem wiht  QDID 49943 only lists S110,S120,S130,S132. As stated in my previous reply, I have contacted the qualification team to hear if the S112 can be added to this list. Will update when they get back to me. 

Best regards

Hi, 

I have received confirmation that the S113,112 and 140 SoftDevices will be added to the Profile Subsystem with QDID: 49943. Hence you should be able to use this QDID together with the S112 v6.0.0 End Product QDID, https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/12514 for your product. 

Best regards

Hi.

I was told a few months ago that the S112 will be added to QDID 49943. However, I still can't find anything related in Launcher Studio.

Can you check it again?

Hi, 

Support for the additional SoftDevice variants is now listed in the “product list” for 49943. https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/12505
