/**
 * @defgroup pkg_nordic-softdevice-ble   Nordic Softdevice BLE
 * @ingroup  pkg
 * @ingroup  net
 * @brief    Provides a RIOT adaption for Nordic Softdevice BLE library

# Overview

This package provides necessary Makefiles and glue code to use the Nordic S132
SoftDevice as Bluetooth BLE transport for RIOT's 6lowpan stack.

# Usage

"gnrc_netdev_default" has a dependency to "nordic_softdevice_ble", so all
examples automatically download the SDK and compile / link / flash all needed
code.

If you want to manually set up included modules, add "USEPKG +=
nordic_softdevice_ble" to your application's Makefile.

See README-BLE-6LoWPAN.md for instructions on how to set up 6lowpan over BLE on
Linux.

# Known issues

- floating point ABI mismatch

  The Nordic binaries are compiled using hard float ABI, which RIOT currently
doesn't support (RIOT's context switching code doesn't preserve the floating
point registers).  If the softdevice is compiled in, RIOT will be compiled with
hard float ABI in order for the linking to succeed.  This works for some
application, but will lead to serious and hard-to-find bugs for code using
floating point instructions.

  Hopefully, either the RIOT community adds hard-float support, or Nordic
releases a soft-float version of the used binaries.

- Outdated

  This package uses version 0.9 of the nRF IoT SDK, which has been integrated
  into the nRF5 SDK v14.1.0 in its 1.0 version, and the nRF5 SDK has since been
  released in several new versions.

  A noteworthy shortcoming due to the old version is that the IPSP
  implementation only interoperates with Linux kernels up to 4.12.

  Unless the [efforts to update the softedevice
  integration](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/9473) are rekindled, this
  module should not be used in new projects, and @ref pkg_nimble should be used
  instead.
