Hi
what's the best way to update the application on a nRF51822 beacon? I tried using the nRF Beacon Android application but wherever I put my hex file from Keil it was shown as greyed out (e.g. in Drive) until eventually I copied it to the internal storage Nordic Semiconductors folder when it became selectable. Selecting it from there requires me then to have an init file. So I looked into how to create this and I'm not clear whether I have to create this manually (surely not!) or whether one of the Nordic tools will do it for me.
I installed Master Control Panel for Windows on my machine but the DFU button is always greyed out (disabled) even though I have the beacon in DFU mode and it is advertising with name "DFUTarg".
Surely there must be an easier way to do this? :-)
Appreciate help getting me over this please.
Update: found this post - devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../
Ran through the process with the example HRS file. It seemed to work but the beacon is still advertising as a beacon.... I expected (incorrectly?) that to change. I pulled the battery but no evident change.
The post I referred to is good but I guess I'm slightly surprised (and so questioning whether I have this right or now) that I have to manually create the init packet dat file with all the splendid things the Nordic tools do. I would have thought this file could be automatically generated. Have I missed something?
