simple_uart application was not working with sdk.v.10 on nRF51822 Evaluation Kit(PCA10001)

[Siva Subrahmanyam]

I am using nRF51 SDK v10.0.0 and running simple_uart application on nRF51822 Evaluation Kit(PCA10001).

Added CFLAG += -DBOARD_PCA10001.

after flashing with nrfjprog. I am not seeing any output on minicom. what kind of changes to be done in nrf_driver_config.h file in config/config_pac100028 to support PCA10001.

Hi.

The PCA10001 kit ships with a nRF51822 QFAAG0 which is a 2nd revision chip. The SDK V10.0.0 is only compatible with 3rd revision chips. Refer to the Compatibility Matrix.

A short explanation of these compatibility issues can be found here and here.

I am already using nordik sdk 7 and simple_uart application was running on nRF51822 Evaluation Kit(PCA10001 v22.0). I just recreated the bsp foleder contains pca100028/armgcc/makefile. changed these LINKER_SCRIPT=../../../../../components/toolchain/gcc/gcc_nrf51_blank_xxaa.ld replaced -DBOARD_PCA10001 instead of DBOARD_PCA10001.

similar mechanism of running simple_uart application is not working with sdk 10. Any further changes needed to make it uart working on sdk 10 to other boards.

sdk10 document says that it supports boards. Supported boards

By default, the SDK project files must be used with specific Nordic Semiconductor boards, usually the most current board. However, the SDK provides support for other boards as well.

The following boards are supported: Board #define nRF6310 (part of nRFgo Starter Kit) BOARD_NRF6310 PCA10000 (nRF51822 USB dongle) BOARD_PCA10000 PCA10001 (part of nRF51822 Evaluation Kit) BOARD_PCA10001 PCA10002 (nRF51422 USB dongle) BOARD_PCA10002 PCA10003 (part of nRF51422 Evaluation Kit, BLE + ANT) BOARD_PCA10003 PCA10028 (part of nRF51422 Evaluation Kit, Arduino form factor) BOARD_PCA10028 PCA10031 (nRF51422 USB dongle) BOARD_PCA10031 PCA20006 (nRF51822 Beacon board) BOARD_PCA20006 WT51822 (Wavetek shield) BOARD_WT51822 N5DK1 (Dynastream N5 Starter Kit) BOARD_N5DK1 Custom board (definition in custom_board.h) BOARD_CUSTOM
