Modifying ble_app_uart from pca10028 to pca20006

I guess this is the reason why we stopped supporting CMSIS. If you switch to the no-pack SDK version (you will have to do this eventually if you want to mirate to a newer SDK version), you should be able to switch device without getting these errors. Then you should only need to set the correct RAM/ROM settings.

Yes, I use CMSIS. When I switched to a new device, it created a new folder, s110\arm5\RTE\nRF_Drivers\nRF51822_xxAA, that contained nrf_drv_config.h with GPIOTE_ENABLED disabled. When switching to a new device, the RTEs had red-circles with white x. I had right-click on each h and s file and selected Update Config File (ver 0.0.0 -> ver ..*) to make the red-circles go away. This is a rather long painful process which is more like Keil's problem, not nRF. In the nutshell, what is the proper/correct way of switching to a new device?

Are you using (the deprecated) CMSIS pack SDK? In the no-pack SDK v10, the file nrf_drv_config.h should be stored in [EXAMPLE_FOLDER]\config. This file should not be replaced or changed if you change the device.

I see. I looked up nrf_drv_config.h when the device was nRF51422. It had #define GPIOTE_ENABLED 1 and #define UART0_ENABLED 1. When I switched the device type to nRF51822, it created a new copy of nrf_drv_config.h which had both GPIOTE and UART0 disabled.

Then, when I looked up nrf_drv_config.h in Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Drivers\3.1.0\config, I noticed they were both disabled too. I was using SDK 10 (I think).

I may have enabled them when working with the DK board last year. So switching to a new device will fetch the original file which had them disabled?

Those errors come from UART0 and GPIOTE being disabled in nrf_drv_config.h. Did you do any change to that file? Which SDK version are you using?

I changed the device from nRF51422_xxAC to nRF51822_xxAA. Since the ROM and RAM were reset, I changed IROM1 to Start: 0x18000, Size: 0x28000 and IRAM1 to Start: 0x20002000, Size: 0x6000.

The preprocessor symbol was BLE_STACK_SUPPORT_REQD BOARD_PCA20006 S110 NRF51 SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT SWI_DISABLE0

Built the code (I didn't change the output target - so still 'nrf51422_xxac_s110')

RE: Modifying ble_app_uart from pca10028 to pca20006

Hi,

Besides the lack of ANT support in nRF51822, the chips should have the same pin-out and HW architecture. It should be sufficient to change BOARD_PCA100028 to BOARD_PCA20006 as long as both your boards have the same amount of RAM and Flash available (see the IC revision overview in the compatibility matrix section at the infocenter).

Changing the Device in Keil might reset the RAM and ROM settings, preventing you from flashing the application if a softdevice is present. It should however not cause any compile errors. Can you post the errors you are getting?

Best regards,

Jørgen
