SD API v7 support for pc-ble-driver

[Thomas Hoppe]

We plan to create a BLE central device to communicate with our peripheral devices. Both sides are based on the nRF52840 using SD140. As we've already developed the peripheral firmware using SD API v7, we like to use the same version for the central device. The central device should be controlled from a desktop PC using pc-ble-driver, so we plan to build the central firmware to be based on the Connectivty firmware.

The latest SD API supported by pc-ble-driver is v6, while the Connectivity Firmware distributed from the GitHab page uses v6.1.1.

Are there any plans to add support for SD API v7 to pc-ble-driver? If so, are there any estimations about a (pre-)release version?

Hi Thomas, 

As far as I know there isn't an estimation on when API v7 would be supported on pc-ble-driver. I'm checking internally to see if there is any work in progress. I will let you know when I get the information.

Hi Thomas, 

The answer I got from the team is that we currently don't have a roadmap for updating the SD API for pc-ble-driver to API v7. So you would have to use v6 on the central device.
