Do they have nice open-source SDKs for these nice products?

I'm working with NRF5 SDK. Most of its source is available (no idea if it's free software or not, but sources are there). The most glaring exception is softdevice - that's BLE implementation, it's huge binary blob, taking control over most CPU.

Their newer SDK based on Zephyr RTOS, I didn't work with it, but I think it's mostly open source as well.

It's all on Github (https://github.com/nordicsemiconductor), but it is not technically open source as it is a modified BSD that does not let you use the SDKs with other chipsets.
