Stack source code

[Bernard Perrin]

Hi,

we are interested about the nRF51822 BTLE chip. We already wrote a BTLE stack (slave side only) for another chip (icytrx) and we would like to port it for this chip. However, we had the impression that Nordic provides this stack in source code.

What are the conditions to get this code and from where can we get it.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Thank you John for your fast and clear answer.

Concerning the porting of our stack, we first look into the nRF51822 documentation. We have the impression that the doc we have in hand (nRF51 Series Reference Manual 175pages & nRF51822 Product Specification v1.3 67pages) is too short. In the biggest document the dedicated part to the radio is only 20 pages long. Was someone already able to write a stack with a such documentation? How to cope with the 150µs delay between the end of reception and the transmission of a packet with a 1 µs tolerance?

The stack is proprietary, provided by Nordic (who are obviously privy to the radio's specification and operation), and accessible only via a high-level API that is (somewhat) timing independent.

This silicon is not provided as a platform for others to port their stacks to. Although someone from Nordic should probably say that ;)
