Beacon Dev Kit firmware to SDK11 and S132?

[Bill Saltzstein]

Has anyone done this port and would be willing to share?

Preferably for the nRF51822 and beacon dev kit board.

Thanks! Bill

Hi Bill

S132 softdevice is for nRF52, S130 is for nRF51.

Softdevice S132 2.0.x and SDK 11.0.0 work together on nRF51 third revision, see the nRF51 compatibility matrix. You can program the nRF51 on the beacon kit with new softdevice and application like any other nRF51 IC. You need however an adapter cable to program the beacon kit, and a programmer, but you can use nRF51-DK as a programmer, see this blog.

Hi Stefan, My mistake on the S132/S130, thank you for the correction. I understand the compatibility matrix, so that was not my question.

I specifically am looking for a 'port' of the Beacon Dev Kit firmware to the current tools, soft device and SDK. Currently, it uses the older Keil and softdevice 7.1.x. I do not want to try to figure out how to use the older tools and SDK and would also like the ability to use the nRF52 in the future.

Has anyone ported the Beacon Dev Kit firmware to current SDK and toolset?

Thanks, Bill

I don't see how this comment applies to the question?

@Bill Thanks for the clarification. Sorry for my misunderstanding. I dont think we have ported this yet to SDK 11.0.0, or any SDK more recent than SDK 7.1.0, sorry. Ill anyway ask around and reply back if I find out anything useful.
