MOD-nRF8001 Build Code "C"

[samuele]

Dear Olimex,
we recently bought two MOD-nRF8001 to do some development and prototyping tests for our applications.
When the boards arrived, we've discovered that the nRF8001 chips on the boards were nRF8001, Build Code "C".

The nRFgo Studio (the Nordic software used to setup the nRF8001 chips), doesn't allow to enable some features on the nRF8001-C that we might be interested to use, such custom payload in advertising data, over the air device name change, ble security...

Neither on the product page of the MOD-nRF8001, nor on the board schematic there's a reference about the chip build code.

Because these features can be critical for product development, I think it could be appropriate to add a little note about the nRF8001 build code used for the boards.


Regards,
Samuele Forconi.
