nRF Connect Scan Problem

[Gokhan]

Hi, I'm using nRF52832 Software Development Kit, PCA10040, S132.

In nRFgo Studio, I erased all my SDK. In nRFConnect, I selected serial port which SDK connected. And I saw a confirm message: No connectivity firmware was detected. Do you want to update to version 1.1.0? I clicked OK. Then I connected nRF5x. And, I started Scan. But, I couldn't see any devices which was discovered.

How Can I discover devices?

I flashed a normal example that is ble_app_uart app. I saw the transmitting logo (look like wifi logo) appear on the box on the left top corner. And I did Advertising Setup.

Note: When I flashed normal example, I saw a Confirm message which is "No connectivity firmware was detected. Do you want to update to version 1.1.0?" And then, I clicked OK.

The ble_app_uart or any example has nothing to do with NRFConnect. nRFConnect is the tool you use to make your PC works as a BLE device. When the ble_app_* make the nRF5 DK board works as stand alone BLE device, and they are not related. That's why you see a pop up telling "No connectivity firmware was detected"

nRFConnect needs the connectivity firmware to work , and it ask you to overwrite the firmware you have on the board with its connectivity firmware.
