nrf51822 simulator

[Samra]

Hi, I am developing a software that connects to nRF51822 over UART. I donot have the physical device currently so I downloaded its Soft device under the impression that it would simulate the actual device, am I correct? If not, is there a simulator available? can I have the guide book/manual for that simulator?

Thanks

No there is no simulator available and the softdevice is not a simulator, it's the bluetooth stack which goes on the actual device. If you want to develop, you need a development kit.

So if i download the SDK and run it with the soft device, then can i be able to simulate the physical device?

no there no simulator you need a development kit as in the nrf51822 (or nrf52) Development Kit, the hardware, you cannot simulate it.
