nRF5_SDK_17.0.2 vs SDK v1.5.1, differences ?

[S.Gabran]

Hi

I am using nRF-SDK-Connect.

I downloaded SDK v1.5.1 through Toolchain in nRF Connect, and nRF5_SDK_17.0.2 (not through Toolchain).

What is the difference between using those 2 SDKs ?

Would nRF5_SDK_17.0.2 support AoA ?

thanks

Hi Salam, 

1. The nRFConnect SDK is a set of open-source projects maintained by Nordic Semiconductor, consisting of several repositories. Please see this link for more information on the nRF Connect SDK. One of the biggest changes is that NCS is based on the Zephyr RTOS, which is the biggest difference between the nRF5 SDK.

2. No. AoA is only supported by NCS. See Direction finding connectionless locator and Direction finding connectionless beacon. 

Regards, 

Amanda
