Cannot find NRF52 on Android Nexus 6p

Hello, I am trying to connect a Nexus 6p running Android 6.0 to the NRF52 dev board. I have tried numerous ble examples in the SDK, but nothing ever appears in the nRF Master Control Panel. The phone bluetooth is turned on.

In the nRF Master Control Panel Device Information, all Bluetooth Smart line items are green.

Any ideas?

  • I figured it out! Turns out that I needed to flash the softdevice hex file with nRFGo Studio before I could connect to the dev board.

    The online getting started documentation shows installing the softdevice in the flowchart, but does not say or explain anywhere else how to do this. Also, the example BLE programs should state that the softdevice needs to be flashed before loading the application.
