What is the most recent SD and SDK compatibles with REV2 chips?

[Diogo]

Hi all,

I would like to know which is the most recent SD and SDK that I should be using with my REV2 chips. In the compatibility matrix, there is no info about the SDK, although it says that the REV2 chips are compatible with softdevice 8. I would assume that if it is compatible with SD8, it would also be compatible with SDK 8... but I am having some uart problems which I also had when trying to use the S130 on a REV2 Chip, so I was wondering if the SDK 8 is not compatible with that revision...

Thanks, Diogo

Hi,

The compatibility of SDK, SD and chip revision can be seen in the Compatibility matrix. Rev 2 is not compatible with SDK 7 and newer as the PAN workarounds are no longer a part of the SDK. You might be able to implement these yourself, depending on your needs.

Best regards,

Øyvind

Am I missing something or has the compatibility matrix not been updated for SDK 9.0?

You linked to v2.1 of the document (which is the same version linked from www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF51822) but that version appears stale as the Info Center links to v2.3 infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp but, while more recent, v2.3 doesn't seem to have been updated to include SDK 9.0.

Any chance you could get the right person to update the links in all places and update the document to include the SDK 9.0?

(Side note, the download URLs of the form www.nordicsemi.com/.../86083509 are pretty uninformative--it would be far nicer if they could at least have the actual filename in them. :) )

Thanks.

You are right, the compatibility matrix does not seem to have been updated for SDK 9. I will forward this to the right person.

Since all the new information is being made available on Infocenter we will end up with more readable URLs, just need to shake old habits when liking =P

Thanks. :)

While they're working on it this page also doesn't link to 2.3 yet: www.nordicsemi.com/.../41917

Also, can you please clarify how the "-" in the "nRF51 SDK" column is meant to be interpreted? Or is that what you mean by "Rev 2 is not compatible with SDK 7 and newer as the PAN workarounds are no longer a part of the SDK. You might be able to implement these yourself, depending on your needs."?

The dash/hyphen looks like it's implying the softdevice is compatible with the IC revision but there's no SDK that is compatible with the softdevice/IC revision combination.
