Image transfer demo downloading

Hello,

I am trying to get the image transfer demo (https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo) working on the nRF52, but I cannot find any examples folder on my computer. I found this post that has basically the same issue from a few years back, and they were directed to download the NRF5 sdk and given this folder path:

C:\\\\\nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a\nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10040e\s112\ses.

As far as I know, the nRF5 SDK is obsolete in favor of using the nRF connect SDK which I am currently using version 2.4.2. Currently I'm pretty sure my SDK folder is located at: C:\ncs\v2.4.2\nrf but I'm not able to find any sort of examples folder anywhere.

I've also started the fundamentals course in the DevAcademy and tried cloning the repo in the C:\nordic\myapps folder it has you setup, but I got an error when trying to open the folder in VScode which makes me think that this is the wrong way to go about this:

The directory "c:\nordic\myapps\nrf52-ble-image-transfer-demo" does not contain an application source.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Hi,

    Looking at the Readme file, it seems that BLE Image Transfer Demo is made for nRF5 and not for nRF Connect SDK. In addition to this nRF5 application, there is also Android Image Transfer Demo application.

    Regarding the examples for nRF Connect SDK, they can be found in <your_ncs_folder>\<your_ncs_version>\nrf\applications and <your_ncs_folder>\<your_ncs_version>\nrf\samples.

    If you have installed nRF Connect extension for VS Code, to create/open your application you can open VS Code, click on nRF Connect extension, and press "Create a new application" or "Open an existing application".

    Best regards,
