&lt;p&gt;I think it&amp;#39;s fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can switch between different softdevice, as long as they have compatible MBR. Currently we only have 2 MBR variant, v1.0.0 and v1.0.1 and they are compatible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What you have to do is to update both softdevice and bootloader. So you don&amp;#39;t have to worry about incompatible between new softdevice and old bootloader. Our current bootloader support this feature to update them at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding your question on Region0 and Region1, we use MBR to overwrite the softdevice and the MBR is located in Region 0, so it&amp;#39;s not a problem. Note that you should not set region 0 by setting &amp;quot;Enable Softdevice protection&amp;quot;. This will limit the size of the softdevice, that you can extend it by update to a bigger size softdevice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The size of the bootloader now not defined by size of region0 (CLENR0) but provided by a register in flash (@ address 0x3000) in the softdevice, the MBR or the application can read this address to find the size of the softdevice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
