as a BLE router provided the following conditions are met:
* Linux Kernel >3.18 and <=4.12 is used
* The nRF IoT SDK version used in this package does not yet support the
`BLE_6LOWPAN_LEGACY_MODE` flag, which would remove the upper version bound.

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- Outdated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.
