SDK 8.0 using for nRF51822

[romanm007]

In the SDK 8.0 are only examples for nRF51422.

Is it possible to compile this for nRF51822 and is the softdevice 8.0.0 for both controllers?

Best regards, Roman.

Hi

Yes, all the Bluetooth Low Energy examples in the SDK can be compiled and used with the nRF51822. The only difference between the 822 and the 422 is that the 422 has ANT capabilities as well as BLE. Hence all BLE related examples and SoftDevices run on both ICs. The only thing you should worry about is your nRF51822 IC revision. Older IC revisions might not work with SDK 8.0.0. Check out the Compatibility Matrix for compatible SDKs, SoftDevices and IC revisions.

I use nRF51822 Variant QFAAC0 Hwid 001D (=revision 1) and it seems SD 8.0.0 doesn't run on it!

Can you confirm this?

You are correct. That is a rev 1 IC and hence you should use SDK 4.4.2 and SoftDevice S110 v5.2.1.
