Ability to specify SoftDevice

[joachimhs]

When compiling for micro:bit, it is necessary to provide SoftDevice, either "none", "S110" og "D130" for the micro:bit.

You can specify custom menu options via the FQBN. For example, if you wanted to compile for the micro:bit using the Tools > Softdevice > None option, the command would look something like this:

arduino-cli compile --fqbn sandeepmistry:nRF5:BBCmicrobit:softdevice=none Foobar

Using the Tools > Softdevice > S110 option, the command would look something like this:

arduino-cli compile --fqbn sandeepmistry:nRF5:BBCmicrobit:softdevice=s110 Foobar

Using the Tools > Softdevice > S130 option, the command would look something like this:

arduino-cli compile --fqbn sandeepmistry:nRF5:BBCmicrobit:softdevice=s130 Foobar

The option identifiers are found in boards.txt:
