updating my S132 from 2.0.0-7.alpha to 2.0.1 or 3.0.0

[manymany]

Hello, I am still using S132 version 2.0.0-7.alpha with Keil uVision V5.21.1.0 Should I move to newer version. Why uVision doesn't see new S132 versions in the pack installer ? Maybe stupid question but thanks for giving answers.

Hi,

This depends on which IC revision you are using. I would definitely recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of the softdevice supported by your chip revision. Which SDK version are you using?

The reason why no newer S132 versions is available in the pack installer is that we don't support CMSIS packs anymore.

You can download the latest SDK versions from here, and the softdevices here: S132 v2.0.1, S132 v3.0.0.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Hi Jorgen,

I have the same problem. Ich start exampe (BLE Multi-link Example with PCA10028A) in SDK 12.3.0 and want SD S130  v.2.0.1. But I can't install SD v2.0.1. There ist only SD v2.0.0-alpha to use.

How can I add SD 2.0.1 in Manage Run-Time Environment? 

Thanks

Best regards,

Hi Oat,

Support for CMSIS packs was deprecated some time ago. Please read the Getting Started documentation of the SDK to learn how to use the non-packs version.

Hi Jørgen,

Thank you for your answer.
I did that. I have downloaded the SDK 12.3.0 and installed it and started the exampe in it, but the SD is 1.0.2. used.

1. Why was not the current SD, ie S130 v2.0.1 used?
2. Why is there only SD 2.0.0-alpha after installation, instead of 2.0.1?

(C: \ Keil_v5 \ ARM \ PACK \ Nordic Semiconductor \ nRF_SoftDevice_S130 \ 2.0.0-7.alpha \)

I expected the example in SDK 12.3.0 to use the current SD.

It does use the latest version (s130 v2.0.1). Just ignore what shows in your "Manage Run-Time Environment" tab and flash the softdevice as described in the getting started documentation. The "Manage Run-Time Environment" configuration is not valid for non-packs version of the SDK.

Ok, I'm ignoring the shows in run-time, but it worked only with s130_nrf51_1.0.0_softdevice.hex, not s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.hex.

Hi Jørgen,

I've seen my problem, I've copped the example with Pack Installer, so an old revision is being used instead of new.
Thank you for all your tips

Best regards
