I can't - it has a core of some work I did which I was paid for and counts as proprietary. I can use it, I can't open source it.

Sounds good. Perhaps you should open source rknrfgo? If I ever get good enough with this Nordic stuff I'd contribute. Thanks again.

you can modify it but you probably don't want to as it will mess up the examples. First job would be to find out what LED2 is being used for (I long since forgot) and ensure that is your problem, it seems likely. Then you could either make a custom board def file which moves LED2 to somewhere which doesn't exist, or see if there's a define in there to turn off the whatever it's doing behaviour.

You're most welcome on RKNRFGO, it doesn't get a whole lot of love these days so if it falls behind softdevice-wise, do tell me. I guess I should make it support the new new chip soon.

Hello RK. Thank you. Yes, I did copy an example. And, LED1 (not LED2) is being used to indicate the connected state. Nonetheless, you are probably correct that the behavior is being produced by the BSP. I am a total nob regarding the BSP. Is it something that I can (or should / should not) modify? BTW: Thank you for rknrfgo on macOS.

my guess would be that you copied an example program which uses the board support package and that itself uses LED2 to indicate whether it's in connection or not and when it's not it turns your LED off
