Thanks, Kenneth.

I understood it. I think we will be able to set up the project as per our requirement.

Hi,

There are multiple softdevices to choose from depending on which BLE features you are looking for. For the nRF52833 there are these:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/comp_matrix_nrf52833/COMP/nrf52833/nRF52833_ic_rev_sdk_sd_comp_matrix.html

You can read more about them individually by clicking on the links in the table there.

In the nRF5 SDK you can typically find folders under the BLE example named PCA10040, PCA10056, PCA10100. These are board identifiers printed on the nRF52*** DK you are using. So if you are working on the nRF52833-DK, you likely want to check out the PCA10100, since that project have been setup for that specific board.

In the nRF5 SDK you can typically find sub-folders under the BLE example projects named S112, S122, S132, S140 etc. This means that this project it setup for this specific softdevice (using one of the above boards).

Not all combinations are setup for every BLE example, so you typically need to start with a project that is closest to the combination of nRF52 variant and softdevice you want to use and modify it to your needs.

If the board names end with an 'e', this typically means emulated. For instance some of the smaller variants of the nRF52-series don't have their own nRF52**** DK, so to develop code you run on a regular DK, but with disable features not supported by the smaller variant. See example here:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.0/nrf52810_user_guide.html#ug_52810_software

Hope that helps,

Kenneth
