Upgrade to sdk 17.0.2

[jacobrosenthal]

No hurry, I more wanted to document that the current softdevice thats checked in (do you want to check that in?) ~and the generated files are from 16.0.0~

[Dirbaio]

A related unsolved question is how does the nrf-softdevice-s1xx crate versions relate to the softdevice versions...

17.0.2 https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/index.html

Sucks to spread this info across the whole repo.. but should probably document sdk version and sd version in the sd crates

~When the time comes, this is the migration guide for 16 ->17~ ~https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.0/migration.html~

Looks really minimal for ble/sd changes

[Dirbaio]

the softdevices currently in the repo are actually from SDK v17.0.0

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fsdk_nrf5_v17.0.0%2Findex.html (not linked from the tree? why, Nordic?)

    S112 SoftDevice v7.0.1 (API documentation)
    S113 SoftDevice v7.0.1 (API documentation)
    S122 SoftDevice v8.0.0 (API documentation)
    S132 SoftDevice v7.0.1 (API documentation)
    S140 SoftDevice v7.0.1 (API documentation)

(quick way to check: the nrf_sdm.h has SD_*_VERSION defines)

Can't we distribute the softdevice (.hex) in the repo? This would ensure compatibility.

[Dirbaio]

Yes, they're under the same Nordic license as the headers. Can't see why not.

[alexmoon]

the softdevices in the repo are from SDK v17.x.x, and due to nordic's deprecation are unlikely to ever be updated. I think we can close this.
