How to use WaveTek nRF51822 BLE Shield (design for Nordic) ?

[chtsai]

I am a newer for Nordic's BLE. and has WaveTek nRF51822 BLE Shield (design for Nordic), and downloaded the S110 softdevice version 7.3.0 and the wavetek_connectivity _s110v1.0.0.hex(.hex file) to the chip got from Nordic web without error through the SWD I/F of STM32 Nucleo board.

But The App (nFR UART 2.0) in my android smart phone can't find this BLE device. so I can't go further now.

I want to use the UART ( PC side ) connect to it and do some test in the WaveTek BLE shield, to see any TX and RX data can correctly display between the PC terminal application and the APP(nFR UART 2.0) in the BLE smart phone.

so first I want to make sure the wavetek BLE shield can be scanned by APP . but has problem. Anyone know the right steps/process to achieve the gold (test UART I/F) in the Wavetek BLE shield ? Or can provide a suggestion how to do simple UART test through the examples in the Nordic's S110 SDK ?

Thanks

Hi ran_ar, Appreciate your information, I download the "nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e" and the example hex file (ble_app_uart_s130_pca10028.hex) in nRF51_SDK_10.0.0_dc26b5e\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\hex as your description, but still can find this BLE device. have some questions for more help!

1. This application FW need work with softdevice 10.0.0 ? my BLE device is preload with softdevice version 7.3.0. also it seems this application is for S130 not S110 , Is it ok to work with S110 ?
2. I use the SWD and UART I/F of STM32 Nucleo to do the download and test UART TX/RX with the Wavetek's BLE shield. Can SWD I/F be used as flash I/F and debug I/F for nRF51822 in Keil v5 MDK ? (I had tested to flash hex file and it works, but I flash the softdevice 7.3.0 hex file and application hex file one by one and the debug(ICE) function seems also work ) because of I don't have J-link debug adapter right now. (Is it ok to flash hex files one by one, could the softdevice been overwrite by the later one ?) and the UART protocol what I tested is 38400bps, n,8,1 (Is it right ?)
3. The nRF UART v2.0 APP will find only one device 68:64:4B:09:0B:13 with Resi=-78 and I selected it ,and display that: connected to: null , I tried to send some characters but display : device does not support UART. Here I wan to know what device name will show in this nRF UART APP ? to make sure it's the device running in the BLE shield.
4. This application FW is for pca10038 , Is it also works on the Wavetek's BLE shield ? (use the same pins as RX/TX etc.)

Appreciate your time.
