Fail to run the example code in pc-ble-driver

[spike dou]

Hi, I was currently trying to run the example code on my linux virtual machine(virtual box).

I followed the steps from https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/master

and the results shows that : Serial port used: /dev/ttyACM0

                                             Baud rate used: 1000000

                                            Info: Successfully opened /dev/ttyACM0. Baud rate: 1000000. Flow control: none. Parity: none.

                                            Status: 6, message: Target Reset performed

                                             Status: 0, message: No response from device. Tried to send packet 6 times.

                                             Failed to open nRF BLE Driver. Error code: 0x0D

I have tried all the connectivity files and all of them do not work. Can anyone please help me on this? Thanks!!

Hi spike dou,

The pc-ble-driver is designed to work with the nRF5 SDK and is therefore not recommended for new project. Please see Einar's answer here for a detailed explanation:  Is pc-ble-driver still supported? .

For this particular case, 0x0D is likely NRF_ERROR_TIMEOUT. Considering that the communication could never be started, could you please review if you are using the correct hex file for 1M baud rate?

Please also take a look at these previous cases to see if any of the issues and fixes there are applicable to your situation.
