Right. Linker file was written for QFAC chip, which has 32k of RAM, while I was using QFAA, which has 16k. Fixed linker script and now it works.

Hi Hung Bui, I've been trying to run blinky without SD. Precompiled hexes are of no use to me, because I have a custom board with LEDs on P15/16, and from devboards I have only old PCA10000 and PCA10003. Tried building with 4.9 and debugging:

Hi Stiebrs,

When you tested with blinky example, it was the blinky without softdevice or the ble blinky?

In the SDK we provided some pre-compiled hex file in each example, could you try to test ?

We usually suggest users to use GNU ARM v4.9 could you give it a try ?
