The concept of the SoftDevice contoller in NCS

[pdNord]

I have been using the NRF5 sdk in the past but it now looking into the new NCS.

Currently I am trying to understand the concept of the new softdevice controller. As I understand it the NCS does not contain i binary softdevice this functionality is in NCS handled by zephyr and the new softdevice controller. What exactly is the softdevice controller? How does it differentiate from the softdevice in NRF5 sdk? In what form is it included in the NCS, is it sill linked in as a binary, or is it distributed as source code?

Hi,

I am sorry for the late reply. Have you seen this blog written by a colleague of mine? It discuss this same topic and compare the NCS softdevice controller to the old nRF5 SDK Softdevice: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/b/software/posts/building-a-ble-application-on-ncs-comparing-and-contrasting-to-softdevice-based-ble-applications
