Closes #128

jacobrosenthal commented 7 years ago

ble_gatts.h Is odd in the core too though, because it has nothing to do with core..

But lets just say we that under softdevice in core, then just add a link there talking about softdevice for nordic devices?

I'm not too keen to duplicate stuff from the nRF5 read me here, what do you think of having a link to it?

Also, these steps are only needed when you also use the nRF5 core. Other scenarios include cores like the original RBL ones or when using the an nRF8001 shield with an Uno, Zero, etc.

Maybe we need an nRF5x core section?

Again, also only applies for nRF5x core

Right, but that's the only place we can allow people to select the right version and custom include paths.

Sure, that works.
