SoftDevice V7.3.0 can be used in SDK 17.0.2?

Hello,

Could you tell me if SoftDevice V7.3.0 can be used in SDK 17.0.2?

According to the following website, you should use Softdevice V7.2.0 in SDK 17.0.2.

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fsdk_nrf5_v17.0.2%2Findex.html

As the s112_nrf52 release note(s112_nrf52_7.3.0_release-notes.pdf) shows, V7.3.0 should be binary compatible with 7.2.1.

And 7.2.1 is also binary compatible with 7.2.0.

Therefore, we think that V7.3.0 should be fine to use V7.3.0 in SDK 17.0.2.

Could you tell me if the idea is fine?

Hi,

The 7.3.0 SoftDevice variants are also binary compatible with the 7.2.1. You can see this statement in the release notes for the S112 7.3.0 SoftDevice:

This SoftDevice is binary compatible with the s112_nrf52_7.2.1, and memory requirements have not changed. Applications are therefore not required to be recompiled.

Note that have not release tested the 7.3.0 SoftDevice with nRF5 SDK 17.0.2, so you will need to do proper testing.

Hi Einar,

Thank you for the reply.

I have one more question.

If you use nRF52810 instead of nRF52832, is the answer the same?

[Einar Thorsrud]

Yes, this will be the same regardless of which IC you use (as long as it is supported by the specific S112 version).
