Can the BL600 be used as a hardware module for use with the Nordic soft device / SDK?

Yes. Ezurio (formerly Laird Connectivity) encourages all customers to utilize the smartBASIC implementation on-board every BL600 module for ease of use and fastest time to market. Our experts will assist customers on a case-by-case basis to support the Nordic SDK. Please note in these instances software and firmware technical support will need to be provided by Nordic, rather than Ezurio.
