Ah I see, I tried to only revert the RAM_START to the original value on the coexistence example but I couldn't see the advertisement. Turns out I have to see the debug log to see the suggestion. Thanks!

If you use the default setting, it would say not enough space and suggest changing the RAM start address.

Hi Amanda, in the Project > Options > Linker > Section Placement Macros, I see that you changed the RAM_START from 0x20002260 to 0x20002430. Why did you change that parameter, and how does it affect the project?

Happy to hear that. 🙂

I managed to get it working. Thank you again!

You can open ble_app_proximity/ flash_placement.xml, ble_app_proximity_pca10056_s140.emProject and sdk_config.h with a text editor and compare the content with my example.

Hi,

I tried to replicate what you did, but somehow it doesn't work. I cannot see the Nordic_Prox on nRF Connect.

Here's what I did so far:

1. Copy the \ble_app_proximity\pca10056 to ble_app_proximity_coexist.

2. Open the SES project, then insert the "mesh_main.c" and all C files on the "Mesh" folder.

3. Go to Project > Options > Preprocessor, and copy the Preprocessor Definitions and User Include Directories.

4. Added MESH_ROOT path on the Global Macros setting.

5. Build and flash the program to the DK.

Are there any steps you did that I did not mention here?

Hi,
I've tried the example and it works fine so far. Thank you!

Hi,

I duplicate the files under nRF5_SDK\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_proximity\pca10056 and refer to the files under ble_app_proximity_coexist\pca10040\s132 to modify them. Please place devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../pca10056.7z under ble_app_proximity_coexist.

Beware that this code/configuration is not fully tested or qualified and should be considered provided “as-is”. Please test it with your application and let me know if you find any issues.

Hi Amanda,

I think that example is different than the one I meant. I want to try the coexistence example to see how nRF5 SDK for Mesh and nRF5 SDK work in one device.

Are there any settings or codes I need to change in the Proximity Coexistence example so that it works on nRF 52840DK? Or maybe how do I change the soft device and board setting in an SES project, so that the Proximity Coexistence example can now use the s140 soft device and the PCA10056 board?

Hi,

The BLE part of the example implements the Proximity Application example from the nRF5 SDK. You can download nRF5 SDK v17.0.2, and access ble_app_proximity_pca10056_s140.hex under nRF5_SDK_17.0.2\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_proximity\hex for nRF52840DK.
