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

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

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

Thank you Amanda Hsieh for introducing to Launch Studio. It's great platform to get the relevant specs concisely.

This is for nRF52811. My device nRF52810 S112 SDK 15.2.0 v6.1.1 is https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/77544 with QDID 125078

Hi Manish,

[quote user="Manish Kaul"]Hardware Device: nRF 52810 ; SD: S112; SDK:15.2.0 --> What's the BLE version ?[/quote]

SDK 15.2 supports s112 6.1.1 which is BLE 5.1. See the SDKs and SoftDevices matrix and QDID 135398.

[quote user="Manish Kaul"]Hardware Device: nRF 52832 ; SD: S132; SDK:14.0.0 --> What's the BLE version ?[/quote]

SDK 14.0.0 supports s132 v5.0.0 which is BLE 5.0. See the SDKs and SoftDevices matrix and QDID 97989.

Hardware Device: nRF 52810 ; SD: S112; SDK:15.2.0 --> What's the BLE version ?

Hardware Device: nRF 52832 ; SD: S132; SDK:14.0.0 --> What's the BLE version ?

Can you also please guide me to the SD specification document by providing a link? And it would be even better if you could, through pictures maybe, show what you mean by taking an example.

Regards

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.
