Revision history

Updated:

• Bluetooth version support raised from 5.0 to 5.1.

• Replaced IC specific links with a link to the nRF52 Series found on Infocenter in Additional documentation.
• Removed peripherals that will not be blocked or restricted by the SoftDevice from Hardware peripherals. Base addresses and IDs for peripherals are also removed. For this information, see relevant product specification in Additional documentation.
• Removed IC specific flash operation timing numbers from Flash memory API. For this information, see relevant product specification in Additional documentation.
• Updated a note in Master boot record and bootloader.

Updated:

• Master boot record and Bootloader to align with MBR version 2.4.

Added:

• Paragraph about extended RC calibration in Clock source.
• Hardware peripherals for nRF52832 in Hardware peripherals.
• Paragraph about FPU and call stack configuration in Memory resource requirements.
• Paragraph about throughput calculations in Bluetooth Low Energy data throughput.
• Glossary.
• Acronyms and abbreviations.

Updated:

• List of key features and applications in S112 SoftDevice.
• Programmable peripheral interconnect now references the hardware resource API instead of listing the PPI channel and group ranges.
• Flash operation timing values in Flash memory API.
• PA pin timings in Power amplifier and low noise amplifier control configuration.
• MBR, SoftDevice, and bootloader architecture to align with the layout of the bootloader from nRF5 SDK.
• Processor availability and interrupt processing time for all Bluetooth® Low Energy roles in Bluetooth Low Energy processor usage patterns.

Added:

• Application control of PHY in API features in the Bluetooth Low Energy stack

Updated:

• List of key features in S112 SoftDevice Specification.
• Profile and service support. Updated the list of profiles and services currently adopted by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.
• LL features in the Bluetooth Low Energy stack.
• Master boot record. Clarifying that the SoftDevice cannot be updated using Device Firmware Update on nRF52810.
