Lastest SD, SDK, and Hardware

Lucas

It seems like a pretty large hardware/software release just came out and I am a little confused. Where can we find documentation about all the new hardware (nrf51822-QFAX)? What softdevices work with the new hardware? What SDK's work with the new hardware? Also what is the current version of the SDK that has been released. I found this webpage with SDK 7.0

developer.nordicsemi.com/

But on the main nordicsemi website the latest available download is 6.1?

Which one should we be using?

Also, I updated my nrf tools yesterday, and after I did that keil was not longer able to flash code from old project I had been working on. I installed the new version of the SDK and the example projects for SDK 6.1 SD 7.1 worked, but SDK 6.0 and 7.0 where not longer able to flash in keil?

    Hello,

    I am able to answer some of your questions. I hope someone from Tech Support will help you with others.

    Recently we released a refreshed version of our nRF51 chip (Enhanced nRF51 Series SoCs) and new boards containing it: nRF51 DK (pca10028) and nRF51 Dongle (pca10031). More info here: Single board, Arduino Uno shield-compatible dev kit.

    Our new SDK release v.7.0.1 (recommended version to use), which can be downloaded without any keys from: developer.nordicsemi.com/, natively supports only those two new boards. But developers running previous revisions of nRF51 Dev Kits are not left out. You can easily port examples from SDK 7.0.1 for older boards. See "Using the SDK with other boards" in the Getting Started section of the SDK documentation for details on how to migrate (for example here: Using the SDK with other boards).

    MyPage for older boards directs you to SDK 6.1, because this is the latest SDK version with native support for those boards.

    What is the reasoning for no longer releasing on the Nordic Semi website? Will this SDK release eventually go up there. Where do links like this now get posted? I am curious so I can get the right version of the SDK in the future.

    I do not have any of the new development kits. However, I have some samples of the XLR3 nrf51822. Looking forward to testing things out.

    There are two main reasons. First - we want to make access to our SDK simpler (without logging or having a key). Second - CMSIS-Pack requires storing all current and historical Packs at a place available without any restrictions. SDK 7.x.x is the first SDK release which supports CMSIS-Pack concept.

    When you register the new board on your MyPage, you will be able to see the same page for the new board as for the older ones. You can find documentation and other tools needed for development there. But instead of having an SDK zip or msi installer there, you will find a link redirecting you to developer.nordicsemi.com.
