No longer require a Product Key for nrf51 SDK ?

[Michael]

Hello,

There's lots of questions and back and forth talking the nrf51 SDK both on here and on other sites, about the requirement for a product key to access and download the SDK.

However, I've seen one page (not on a Nordic owned site) that says that the product key is no longer required and points to a random page on the Nordic site.

My question therefore is simple - is a product key still required to download and use the nrf51 SDK - for use with a nrf51822 based device? I'm looking to build a toolchain using gcc-arm on a local server, and looking to see what pieces I need.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything on a Nordic site explicitly stating this.

Thank you!

Hi,

A product key is no longer required to download the SDK. If you click on the "SDK and Documentation" tab on top of this site you will find a download link to the SDK (developer.nordicsemi.com/), as well as a link to the Nordic Infocenter (infocenter.nordicsemi.com/) which contains all documentation for the nRF51 chip.

Hi, That's great - I thought that was the case, but thought confirmation would be useful. Many thanks!
