Hi!

[quote user="Peter Lorentzon"]I thought SDC is Soft Device Controller subsystem or?[/quote]

Might be that some are using the same abbreviation for both. I guess you would know looking at the context.

We actually have a glossary in the NCS (nRF Connect SDK) documentation.

https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/glossary.html

That includes a lot of the abbreviations and an explanation for each.

You forgot to explain the difference between Host and controller.

Thank you!

Hi!

I don't think we have an abbreviations list available. But I'll be happy to explain;

nRF - I don't think this is short for anything particular. It's the name we use for the different products we offer. We have the nRF52-series, nRF91-series etc. We also use it in naming software etc.

SDC - Secure Digital card

NCS - nRF Connect SDK

SDK - Software development kit

DK - Development kit

PDK - Preview development kit

QDID - Qualified Design ID

If you have any further questions about the above, please let me know.

Br,
Joakim
