How do I check which version of BLE (4.1/4.2/5.0/5.1) is supported by which SDK/SD ?

[Manish Kaul]

I want to check which version of BLE is implemented while using a particular SDK or Soft Device(SD). Is the version of BLE dependent on SDK or SD or both ? I couldn't find any information regarding the same in the release notes of any SDK.

Hi Manish,

You take a look at each SoftDevice Specification which lists the version of BLE compliant in the Key features. What are your target hardware device, softdevice, and BLE version? 

The support staff is reduced during the summer holidays, and you may experience delayed answers.

It is not clear how to determine the BLE Version for a softdevice,

Nordic Semiconductor Infocenter

Table 1. nRF52832 SoftDevice QDIDs
For nRF52832 SoC, softDevice S132 v6.1.0, shows QDID 115590

Table 2. nRF52832 nRF Connect SDK QDIDs
This shows Core spec. 5.2, for the nRF52832 nRF Connect SDK

Does this mean that a nRF52832 SoC, softDevice S132 v6.1.0, is also BLE 5.2 compliant?

The \nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\components\softdevice\s132\doc does not clearly state which BLE version is supported by the SiftDevice.

Any help appreciated
