  • Have you installed the nRF51 SDK? Can you please try to reinstall and/or repair the installation?

    If the SDK has been installed correctly, you should also be able to work around this problem by opening the target options, going on the Device tab, and select the nRF51822_xxAA chip manually, making sure the Generic CPU Data Base is selected.

    Edit: I have occasionally seen this error when opening old projects, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I suspect that the problem stems from the fact that the old device database was removed as part of the upgrade to µVision 5, and the project's reference to it is hence not valid any more. However, if you open the project, and then manually select the nRF51822_xxAA in the Generic CPU database (see attached screenshot), you should not see this error when reopening the project later. This should therefore be a usable workaround.

  • my os:windows 8.1 64bit . I can not install nrf51_sdk_v4_3_0_27417.msi (system not support). nrf51_sdk_v5_1_0_36092 is only floder(not use install).

    sorry .English is very bad.hope your understand.

  • Thanks Ole. In my case I have Keil MDK-Lite 5.14.0.0 and I already installed the nRFgo SDK (and reinstalled it a couple of times) but in Options for target '...' / Device (as shown above), I cannot find Nordic Semiconductor listed! Therefore I cannot do a manual selection as you suggested. Everything else seems to be in place: the pack in Keil_v5 / ARM / Pack and so on. I am trying to run C:\Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51 SDK_v5.2.0.39364\Nordic\nrf51422\Board\nrf6310\blinky_example\arm. The only thing that I find different from a previous working configuration is that 'ARM Cortex-M Profile Device Support Template' pack is missing. But well, I have the same problem described by bynce. I appreciate any advice on this.
