Evaluation NRF 51822 EK : Problem to connect the Board with the android and IOS application nrfUART

[catelain]

Hello,

I am Ethera's engineer, evaluation technologies to include on our next generation products.

Here our goal is to have a transparent mode between a smartphone program and a embeded program via your nRF51 BTLE technology.

We try to use the evaluation kit without so much success.

1:Dose PCA10001 can be seen from the nRF UART from iOS? If yes witch firmware we should load toPCA10001? 2:Dose PAA10000 can be seen from the nRF UART from iOS?

We will appreciate your help us to start to work with your kit. Regards, Guillaume Catelain

You can use the UART application from the SDK to work with nRF UART on iOS. Take a look at ble_app_uart from SDK 5.1.0, in the folder nrf51822\Board\pca10001\s110\experimental\ble_app_uart. This project is written for the PCA10001, but it should in principle be possible to make it work also with PCA10000 if you want to. This modification is however something you'll have to do yourself.

However, I'd also recommend you to take a look at this question and the application note nAN-36 to understand how services work in BLE.
