Pairing/bonding with ble_app_template example not working for me

[Matej]

Hi,

I just recently got into designing Bluetooth devices and I am experimenting with NRF51822 and BLE400 board. I managed to compile and upload the examples from SDK 11.0.0 to the device with SEGGER Embedded Studio and I can advertise and connect to the device with nRF Connect app on my Android phone.

When I try to bond with nRF Connect it just hangs up after a couple of seconds. A similar thing happens if I try to pair with the phone directly.

Is there something I have to implement in the code of the example app?

Hi, unfortunately no. I didn't have that much time although. After not being able to make it work with the template from github I decided to follow the tutorial for Segger Studio from this page. But I get two leds that are always on and not one blinking like it would be if device was advertising. I don't know exactly why that would be as the precompiled hex file that comes with the SDK works. Is there something that you have to set up in the environment for specific board or no? The github project has a file for ble400 pins but I don't know how would the precompiled hex file then work out of the box.
