nRF51 SDK11 - ble_app_uart using IAR issue

[lamar]

When loading the ble_app_uart_s130_pca10028.hex file (Windows 10) from nRF5_SDK_11.0.0_89a8197/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_uart/hex using nRFgo Studio - Program Application to download to the nRF51 DK board...no problems...able to use iPhone with nRF tools app.

ble_app_uart_s130_pca10028.hex = 354 kb

When building the example code using nRF5_SDK_11.0.0_89a8197/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_uart/pca10028/s130/iar/ble_app_uart_iar using IAR, the code builds with no issues and apparently downloads to the board.

However, nothing happens on the board...ipPhone nRF tools app does not see nRF51 DK board

ble_app_uart_s130_pca10028.hex = 56 KB I have also loaded s130 softdevice first with no success

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Lamar

Make sure you set the ble_app_uart_S130_pca10028 - ... project as active in IAR workspace window. To set it active, right click the project and press "set as active". Then start the debugger and press F5 to continue execution. Then you should see the board blinking LED1, indicating it is advertising.

• Stefan, thanks for the quick response. The project was set as active. What I was doing was going straight to Project->Download->Download active application. It seemed to work. When I used your suggestion of starting the debugger...I got the dialog box I didn't want to see. "This version of IAR Embedded....has a code limitation". I have it working on my Mac using GCC but wanted the nice IAR development environment for free! :-) Thanks for your help.
