L2CAP Protocol

[WesC]

I am looking to use the L2CAP in the basic form.  I see that there is the Experimental OTS example in SDK 17.0.2

this only uses the S132 Softdevice.  I am looking to target the nRF52810 and the S113 Softdevice.

The S113 mentions that it supports L2CAP connection Oriented Channels.

Can i target the OTS example to the nRF52810 with S113 and have it work.

Is there any other reason the documentation only suggests the S132 and S140 and not the S113?

Hi,

Both S140 and S113 supports L2CAP, so I do not see any immediate reason why using one over the other should matter. So yes, I would expect you to have it work.

The OTS examples were introduced in nRF5 SDK v14.0.0, at a point where S132 and S140 were pretty much the only SoftDevice variants available. My guess is since they are marked "Experimental" they have only received minimal attention over the years, meaning they have not been ported to new SoCs and/or SoftDevice variants, only updated to work with new versions / revisions of SDs / SoCs as appropriate for the new SDK release. So the warning is most likely reflecting what SDs work out-of-the-box using the SDK examples - and not what is possible to port to.

I'll try to get this confirmed. However as it is weekend already over here (5:20 p.m. on a Friday) I do not expect answers from the team before next week.
