How to use BLE of various versions

[Shuto Kimura]

Dear, Nordic.

I am developing with nrf52832.

I want to evaluate the characteristics of each version of BLE on specific hardware.

What I want to know is how to implement different versions of BLE on specific hardware.

Is it possible by changing the soft device and SDK?

If possible, please tell me the softdevices and SDK that support 4.1, 4.2, 5.0 and the latest version.

Hi.

The first release of the Softdevice S132 for nRF52832 supported BLE core 4.2. I've included which SDK that included the earliest stable version of the Softdevice in its release. In most cases you would like to switch SDK too as the Softdevice API has changed, especially if you're using a SDK example. 

Softdevice version	Ble Version	SDK version
S132:
None	4.1	None
S132 v2.0.x	4.2	11.0
S132 v5.0.0	5.0	14.0
