For others finding the above answers to not reflect the reality in the SDK download, please note that from at least version 6.1 the tools have gotten their own installer download. Get it right next to the SDK download.

In general, I think You (Nordic) should either delete or update "nAN-29, nRF51 Development with GCC and Eclipse". I would estimate that >50% of all info in that guide is wrong if you use your current SDK (6.1) and e.g. Luna eclipse version. And for newbies trying to get going that's not a good start :-)

@Tim: I have reported internally about the request. Thanks for your suggestion.

Maybe you should add it to the zip - there's no indication that their contents are different on the download page.

Thanks for the reply, I wasn't aware of the .msi installer until now.

Hi Rich,

It is included in the SDK if you install using the .exe installer, could you please have a look at the location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nrf51\bin
