Hi All, I am a beginner with nordic nrf 51822. I am confused between so many code development tools.I have a usb based nrf 51822 development board. I prefer to use microsoft WINDOWS 8 as development environment. Kindly help me how to start with

1. Keil Uvision:- I installed and all i see is nothing, there is no way to create a new project and further c/c++ files option i see in this. please help me on this

2. nRFGo studio: - what i understand is that this is used only for programming devices only, ITS NOT for creating project and doing coding. please confirm

3. IAR Embedded workbench: - It does have an option to create an project w.r.t to cortex-m0 devices, but how to import/include the s110_nrf51822_5.2.1.

4. my aim:- I need to create a project [w.r.t to cortex-m0 device as in nrf51822 device] and then use the s110_nrf51822_5.2.1 in this. please suggest me how to do it and best possible way.

Kindly help i am stuck in getting started.

I suggest that you take a look at the User Guide for the nRF51822 Evaluation Kit. That explains how to get started with the nRF51822 using the Keil environment, installing the nRF51 SDK and testing the heart rate example from it.

The basic point is that you use Keil or IAR to compile an application and download it to your kit (to get started, preferably one of the ready-made ones from the nRF51 SDK). nRFgo Studio is only used to download the softdevice to you chip.

When you have gotten things up and running, you may also have use in looking at the nAN-36 application note.
