 I use the latest versions of sdk v17 and nRF52DK, nRF52840. 
 I refer to examples written by others as well as basic examples of SDK. But I don&amp;#39;t know if I can use it as it is because the SDK version is different.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/breaking_change"&gt;https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/breaking_change&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The larger the difference between version numbers, the more likely there will be problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d think it rather unlikely that v14 code will &amp;quot;just work&amp;quot; in SDK v17 - most likely, you will get build errors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
