software pack compatibility confusion

@Vito: Yes, you were right. It's only changed from SDK v7.x when we align the version together. You should be fine if you use S110 v7.1 and SDKv6.1 with XLR3.

Yes exactly, that's a bit of a boring job :) Unfortunately I have been tricked by the similar version numbers (SD S110 v7.1.0 goes with SDK v6.1.0...), and I have developed everything with the higher SDK. It was even working, unless some weird Hardfault showed up.

Thanks, unfortunately I have a stock of boards already equipped with XLR2 and I need to guarantee support for those.

By the way, SDK 6.1.0 seems compatible with XLR3, so I shouldn't have problems, right?

@Vito: I assume that you are relink the libraries to avoid using packs ? I would suggest to also use the core and startup libraries from SDK v6.1.0 zip file as well.

You can base on the ble_app_template or other examples from the SDK .zip file to create your own application.

Please be noted that for production, you will need to use XLR3 since the XLR2 is not available from our distributors anymore. So I suggest you to get hold of a newer development kit and port your appilcation to latest SDK.

Ok it works. I developed the whole application with the software packs, so I had to re-link all the libraries. Should I keep "core" and "startup" libraries from the 6.1.0 sdk as well, or should I take them from the software packs?

@Vito:

Could you try to follow this tutorial: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/blogs/671/how-to-use-the-latest-keil-5-for-keil-4-projects-u/ and let me know if it worked for you ?

You can download the SDK v6.1.0 SDK zip file here.
