nRFgo-Starter-kit on W7 machine; Keil\ARM\Device\Nordic folder missing. Why?

A friend installed on two XP machines this software in this order..

  1. Keil's mdk472.exe
  2. Nordic's nrfgo_sdk_2.3.0_setup.exe
  3. Nordic's nrfgostudio_installer_1_14_1.exe

he gets under c:\Keil\ARM\Device\ a Nordic folder containing

-Documentation -nrf51422 -nrf51822

I get nothing. Originally I installed Keil last and got nothing so I uninstalled everything and did the order stated here, which my friend found to work on XP.

I do get example code that gets dumped in a Nordic Semiconductor directory on my C: drive but it comes with no documentation and no way to know what to compile or include so that's all of no use.

a) What is wrong with my Window's 7 installation? b) Is W7 supported?

Thanks, Andre

  • I can't find examples(may they haven't been installed then why?). c:\Keil\C51\ISD51\Examples\Nordic_nRF\ is the only examples related folder but it doesn't contain any ble code

    Another thing is that I have different version: nrf8001_sdk_v1_7_install, but it is the only one I was offered to download...

    Please advice. Thank you in advance.

  • This sounds like something that should have been posted as a separate question, but the SDK you have installed is for our nRF8001 chip. If you're working with the nRF51822, you need to get the nRF51 SDK, which is available on the download tab of the nRF51822 Development Kit and nRF51822 Evaluation Kit pages. If you see a red lock there, you need to enter a product key from a kit to get access to it.
