Minimum softdevice version from compiled binary

[Mark Rages]

Hi,

I've written a nRF51 SWD-JTAG programmer.

I want to enable it to check for minimum softdevice version and error out if a too-old softdevice is found.

It is easy enough to read the softdevice version information from UICRs and FICRs.

I see each SDK version has minimum softdevice version requirements. Are these compiled into the executable image somehow? Which section would they be in?

I'm trying to avoid externally maintaining metadata, but if I have to do so, does the SDK maintain this value in a header somewhere?

Regards, Mark

Somebody retag this, the tag field eats the fist character of the tag...

I don't think the softdevice information is yet included in any header files.

So I think the way to do this is to check the FWID of the softdevice at address 0x10001010, as you have suggested.
