Is it possible to run IoT example codes on PCA10001?

[Thaj]

SDK Version: nrf51_iot_sdk_0.8.0_f1f6187 In SDK all examples are given for PCA10028. Is it possible to run on PCA10001?

What I have done so far with PCA10001: 1.Programmed s1xx-iot-prototype2_softdevice 2.In sdk/examples/iot/udp/ipv6/client example Changed device into nRF51822_xxAA and preprocessor symbol into BOARD_PCA10001 in project properties. 3.Compiled and programmed the application. But PCA10001 doesn’t advertise.

IRAM/IROM settings used: IRAM : start:0x18000 size:0x28000 IROM :start:0x20002000 size:0x6000 (I doubt settings here as it is PCA10001)

I also tried reducing IROM size to 0x2000. But compilation failed in that case.

Hi Thaj,

It's not recommended to use PCA10001 for Iot SDK v0.8 and later. In fact we removed support for nRF51 QFAA G0 chip from SDK v0.8.

On SDK v0.7 there are some examples worked (UDP examples). The reason for that is the lack of RAM. I guess you were confused between RAM and ROM on what you wrote in your question.

Our suggestion is to get hold of a 32kB RAM chip variant.

SDKv0.7, note that this version is very old and is not recommended. nrf51_iot_sdk_0.7.0.zip

Thank You Hung for the prompt response. I have ordered new development board already. Waiting for it. In the meantime can you provide the link to download nrf51_iot_sdk_v0.7 so that I can try it on PCA10001?

Hi Thaj, I updated the answer with the file.
