BLE is all what Nordic nRF51/52 platforms support and and it is part of Bluetooth 5 standard so you have found it. Regarding InfraRed boards there seems to be no such product by Nordic so you will need to look for some 3rd party product and connect it to nRF5x with some standard wired interface (UART/SPI/I2C/GPIO...) You can see example of drivers to 3rd party chips in nRF5_SDK_14.0.0_3bcc1f7\components\drivers_ext\ SDK folder.

Does BLUETOOTH CLASSIC is also part of Bluetooth 5 standard?

So,you mean to say BLE and Bluetooth 5 are of same standard.so when i scan for devices i can able to see BLUETOOTH 5 devices also along with BLE devices right??

Thank You.

No, what I said is that Bluetooth LE (sometimes called BLE or BT Smart) is part of Bluetooth SIG standards. Special Interest Group releases single Core specification which bundles all the different variants and stacks together. It's almost 3,000 pages document + many amendments for specific layers so it's not easy to get it right. From all that infinite space of options there are some mandatory and optional features for given variants (like BR/EDR or "BT classic" if you want, "LE" etc.)

Therefore Bluetooth 5 is just marketing sticker not saying anything technically and you should basically stop using it;) If you want to speak on technical level you need to very carefully use the vocabulary of each layer (like PHY, GATT/GAP etc.) and speak about specific features (like BLE with 2Mbit PHY or with Long Range PHY etc.) Only then you can decode the reality;)
