You need to check for new updates in the Packs Installer, see my updated answer.

I didnt know that it was just the alpha SDK. But with the newer one I have to install familyPack 8.5.0 Error #541: 'NordicSemiconductor::Device:Startup:8.5.0' component is missing, pack 'NordicSemiconductor.nRF_DeviceFamilyPack.8.5.0' is not installed

But the pack installer shows me, that DeviceFamilyPack is uptodate. And when I check the Keil Software packs it seems also to be uptodate.(Last update: Version: 8.3.2 Date: 16.12.2015)

Where else I can download deviceFamilyPack.8.5.0?

You are using the template from SDK v11.0.0-2-Alpha, you need to use SDK v11.0.0, found here.

Should the template from SDK 11.0 simply work with S132 v2.0 SoftDevice?

Its the standard template from SDK11.0 (ble_peripheral). Only the IROM1 and IRAM1 adress is changed. But I will try to upload it here

Could you share your project?

Yes, I'm using S132 v2.0 SoftDevice. And I'm working with the template from SDK11.0. If change it as you guessed, it will still not hit the breakpoint on err code

If you are using the S132 v2.0 SoftDevice the ROM/RAM settings should be:

IROM1: Start: 0x1C000 Size: 0x64000

IRAM1: Start: 0x20002000 Size: 0xE000

The minimum required RAM is 0x13C8, but I have set it a bit higher. The actual requirement will depend upon the configuration chosen at sd_ble_enable() time. sd_ble_enable() will return * p_app_ram_base. indicating the minimum APP_RAM_BASE required by the SoftDevice for the configuration. Please refer the S13x_nRF5x_2.0.0 Migration Document, found here.

Update:

You need to check for new updates in the Packs Installer, see the screenshot below.

@inspectron: Could you post the error code?

Problem seems not to be solved. I'll get an error after SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT.

I found the problem by my self. Just had to change IROM1 adress to 0x1C00. I have this information from the release note of the softdevice

try full-erase chip before loading hex. some .hex files in SDK examples are merged with SD. That may block re-flashing.
