RE: Questions about upgrading the Connect SDK

Hello!

Once a pull request is merged with the SDK it will be available in the master branch of the SDK (which is the experimental .99 versions). It should be possible to download this using the Toolchain Manager(TM) after going to "Settings" and checking the "Show unstable (master branch) environment". This should also install the correct version of Zephyr.

You can also consider installing the specific pull request manually. To do this do the following:
1. Download this file and place it in ~\ncs\v1.5.1\nrf: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../sdc.patch
2. Open the drop down menu besides your Toolchain Manager installation and press "Open bash".
3. Write the following commands in bash:

cr nrf
git apply --reject --whitespace=fix sdc.patch
west update

This should result in your current SDK having the updates from the patch. Just note that this means that a newer version of nrfxlib is used, which again isn't guaranteed to work with the v1.5.x releases.

Best regards,
Carl Richard
