Example nAN-36 problem, not compiling

[Roy]

Hi developers,

I've found the nAN-36 file and tried to follow the steps in it. That was impossible for me, I got lost bigtime. Then I found the folly completed project and copied the ble_lbs.c, ble_lbs.h and main.c tot the folder I was working in. There seemed to be missing some files: (they gave errors while rebuilding)

ble_eval_board_pins.h ble_stack_handler.h pstorage_pl.h

so I added them to the project and got some warnings and a couple of Linking errors. I can't read them, have no idea what they mean. So I'm asking you

Hi Roy,

Could you check which SDK and S110 version you used with the ble_app_lbs ?

The nAN36 application note was written for SDK v4.x.x and Softdevice S110 v5.x.x.

To use the example with SDK v5.x there are some modification needed since it will not work out of the box.

I would suggest you to get started by using SDK v4.4.2 and Softdevice v5.2.1. You can download this older version by clicking on the version number on the download tab.

I am currently using SDK V5.0.0 and Softdevice 6.0.0.5, that's not quite compatible :D

The chip im using is an QFAACA, a relative older chip. Does that matter?

Is Nordic Semiconductors making an update to the nAN-36 for this set-up or should I just downgrade?

[Hung Bui]

I am afraid we will not have an update for the app note soon. Furthermore your chip is an older version (version one) and is not officially supported by the SDK v5.x and S110 v6.x. Please refer to the nWP18 migration note : https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/download_resource/24719/2/62759321

My suggestion for you is to first get started with SDK v4.x, S110 v5.x and the nAN36. However, for further development, it is strongly recommended to move to the new SDK and S110 softdevice.

Hi Roy, I wanted to know if you found an answer for theese errors, because I just had the same...

I am new to this and was trying to get the temp app working as well. I cannot even download the older version of SDK v4.4.2. Please help
