missing sd_ble_enable() and ble_enable_params_t in s310 SDK 6.1.0

[Vito]

Question similar to this one devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

I have noticed that in the header ble.h included in the s310 folder, the function sd_ble_enable(..) and the type ble_enable_params_t are missing; however they are present in s110.

From SDK >= 7.0.0 they reappear also for s310.

In my firmware running s310, I have simply removed the call sd_ble_enable(..) and it seems working. Am I making a safe use of it?

@Vito: Which S310 version are you using ?

From S310 v2.0 the sd_ble_enable() is introduced. SDK v6.1.0 released when it was S310 v1.0.

[Vito]

Yes, I am using S310 v1.0 as per compatibility matrix, with SDK 6.1.0. I have a lot of rev2 ICs, it seems to me the latest compatible combination.

[Asbjørn Sæbø]

The S310 v2 SoftDevice is compatible with rev2 ICs, as you can see from the matrix. But there is no SDK for this combination, so if you go for the S310 v2, you must adapt the SDK files yourself.

[Vito]

Yes, but what does exactly mean adapting? Taking the headers and .c files from SDK version 7.2.0? If simply not using sd_ble_enable(..) is not risky, I'd stick to this solution.

@Vito: You can find the changes between S310 v1 and S310 v2 in the release note of S310 v2.

If you are fine to stick with S310 v1.0 you don't have to worry about sd_ble_enable().

If you want to use your chip with S310 v2, you can follow the migration document in the S310 v2 zip file. You mainly have to replace the header files .h provided in the .zip and also update the source code to use new (sd_ble_enable) or modified functions that described in the migration guide. I would suggest you to have a look at the example in SDK v7.x to adapt.
