UART project building without softdvice

[YASH]

Hello, i am a beginner, i have a doubt that my UART project is building without the softdevice being flashed and the output is not seen on the pins. I wanted to configure some pins as output and assigned them VDD. I used SDK12.2.0. In what cases is Softdevice required to be flashed?

I used nrf51422.

If you use any "BLE" example from nRF5 SDK then indeed you need to flash Soft Device first. There is specific target pre-created in Keil projects or you can flash it externally through nRFgo Studio or nrfjprog utility from NRFTOOLs package. Have you seen the tutorial where everything is explained step by step?
