According to a Nordic engineer from technical support, the SDK v8.0.0 was not tested on rev. 2 IC at all, but that does not mean it couldn't work. So I will give it a try.

Unfortunately there are many modules and products on the market, built around the rev. 2 IC, and at risk of being left out. Those unlucky rev. 2 IC product owners would have to support two hardware platforms which only differ by the IC revision.

I also noticed that the bug fixes and improvements to the SDK and SD might have broken the software backwards compatibility, and changes to your code (API, functionality, flows) and even some architecture adjustments might be needed. This is not really a good path forward.

UPDATE 2015-Aug-11

SDK 6.1.0 and SD110 v7.3 are the newest releases that I could use on the rev. 2 of the nRF51822. If you're using rev. 2 of the IC like me, I strongly recommend to use this combination of SD110 and SDK, and do not bother to use older or newer versions unless the nRF Compatibility Matrix document says they are compatible with rev. 2 of IC.

I'm experiencing odd issues related to the timeslot api. Normal code seems to work relatively well but I think your silicon is too old for this sdk. I forgot to check the compatibility matrix
