Why is the S132 Softdevice not in the Keil nRF SDK 11.0 Examples?

[Ronny Vrijelinck]

I checked several (not All) Keil nRF SDK 11.0 Ble_pheripheral examples and the S132 softdevice Hex File doesn't seem to be in the project any more. The flash softdevice target definition is still there but the target start address settings are the same for the actual example target and the Flash soft device settings To add the softdevice to the project should i define it as Image file? Are start address = 0x0 and size = 0x80000 correct for the Flash softdevice target? I also noticed that the Start address settings of the actual application target are different between the nRF SDK 11.0 examples (0x1C000) and the CMSIS pack examples (0x1B000), what is the reason of this change?

Hi,

The SoftDevice hex file can be found at in the SDK at:

[YOUR_SD_LOCATION]\nRF5_SDK_11.0.0_89a8197\components\softdevice\s132\hex

If you are reffering to the dropdown menu this option is still available, this is a screenshot from the ble_app_beacon example

If you are having problems getting this option to show up I recommend following this blogpost on command line integration in keil.

Finally for the adresses you can consult the information at the bottom of this post.

Best regards,

Øyvind

Yes the target is still there, but the Hex file is not in the project any more. I found the Hex File, this is not the problem, but should i add it as image file and what should the start address and size settings be for the flash target?
