S130 v2 doesn't work with the examples in SDK11 under PCA10028

[Henry]

Hi Nordic, I've try many times but no luck, I have a PCA10028, which works fine with SDK8~10 and S110. Recently I found the SDK has become ver11 and SD turn to S130. So I moved to use them, below is my steps:

1. Use nRFGO to download S130 v2.0.0
2. Download SDK11 example ble_app_hrs, compile and download into PCA10028.

Result: The message shows "Application running..." but I can not find the device after BT scan. I also have tried S130 v2.0.1, didn't work, either.

Please help.

[UPDATE] I made the test again, below is the step:

1. Lunch the KEIL uVision, open "PACK Installer".

2. Under the "Examples" tab, select the "ble_app_hrs_s130_pca10028", press "Copy" and set the destination folder.

3. Compile the project.

4. In nRFGO, erase all the PCA10028 board. Program s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.hex

5. In KEIL, Load the project application into PCA10028. Then the MCP scan nothing...

6. In nRFGO, erase all the PCA10028 board. Program s130_nrf51_2.0.0-7.alpha_softdevice.hex

7. In KEIL, Load the project application into PCA10028. Then the MCP scan and got Nordic_HRM exist.

I have attached the both 2 SD130 hex and the compiled project image, you can test with your PCA_10028 by nRFGo directly. If you passed with the 2 kinds of SD image, I think there should be something wrong with my PCA10028. (1) s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.hex (2) s130_nrf51_2.0.0-7.alpha_softdevice.hex (3) nrf51422_xxac_s130.hex

Are you sure you flashed everything correctly and the LD settings are correct? I did the same and it is working perfectly. Did you make any changes to source or make file?

@henryli : The examples in the SDK should work out-of-the-box. Have you tried the precompiled hex file as well?

Hi, Finally I got it work with the SD130 image: s130_nrf51_2.0.0-7.alpha_softdevice.hex under folder: "C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_SoftDevice_S130\2.0.0-7.alpha\hex" with the same example project, but still no luck with the S130 2.0.1 download from www.nordicsemi.com/.../53724 I never modify the example file, just let it program to have a first running.

Please check if there is something wrong with S130 v2.0.1 between S130 v2.0.0-7alpha

Thanks.

@henryli : Tested both the S130 v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 with the ble_app_hrs example for the PCA10028 in SDK v11.0.0 and I was able to see the devices advertise and connect to them in both cases. Have you tried to debug the applications to see if you end up in the app_error_handler?

@bjorn-spockeli : I did test again and it still only work with SD130 v 2.0.0-7alpha. The SD130 v2.0.1 didn't work, please download the images and test with your board, thanks.
