nRF52 - mbed without softdevice
Hi,
Is there a way to build an mbed application for the nRF52 without the softdevice?
I have scripts that move the produced application hex back to address 0x0 so the location of the program should not be an issue.
The softdevice makes debugging a simple test program infinitely harder (can't break realtime constraints, etc). I'm not trying to use bluetooth for this application.
If it can't be built without it, is there a way to disable the softdevice without breaking mbed? Can you simply use the Nordic softdevice manager API to disable it or can this destabilize mbed in some way?

Hi, Should be possible as long as you don't use BLE
It depends how you build it, with an mbed-cli exported Makefile (debug profile) you should get an i.e. blinky.hex (without softdevice) and blinky-combined.hex (with softdevice).
