OK, I made it! When you write firmware to BLE nano, set the debugger speed lower than 1MHz. Thank you for your reply!!

It is. Actually I have Segger J-Link Lite so it is no problem. But I just came up with the idea for people who doesnt have segger or cant buy it because of the price. Actually J-link lite is not so easy available in my country. Anyways, thank you for your comment. I also try to find any article in the nordic forum :)

Alternatively, why not just get a genuine Nordic Dev Kit - which comes with the Segger device on board?

Far easier to learn on something that's specifically designed, documented, and supported for the purpose, I think ...

Looks an interesting document - so thanks for the link.

But I was suggesting that you search here - on the Nordic forum - for examples of people who have used the ST-Link to program Nordic devices

I just found this http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_note/a3/5a/e8/49/62/82/44/be/DM00140103.pdf/files/DM00140103.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00140103.pdf

Thanks for your fast reply

I had a mistake, it's not BLE mini but BLE nano. I'm trying to find article about ST-Link.

Looks like the BLE Mini uses a TI CC2540: http://redbearlab.com/blemini/ - so definitely not a Nordic part!!

And that's 8051-based - so almost certainly won't work with an ST-Link!

Search this forum for "ST-Link" - a number of people have reported success using ST-Link with nRF devices...

Hmmm.... The BLE Mini does not seem to be using a Nordicsemi part. You can use the Redbearlab BLE Shield with the F401RE. You can use the github.com/.../nrf-ble-sdk code for support on interfacing the BLE Shield with the STM32F Series. You can also use the Redbearlab BLE nano (nRF51) with the STM32. If you need more assistance on the nRF51 to STM32 interfacing, please post a support case at www.nordicsemi.com/.../Contact-Support-Team
