nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit and Master Control Panel

[Carson]

It clearly states in the nRF51822 Beacon Firmware Documentation that you need to use the Master Control Panel in order to connect upload new firmware.

Now that said, there is no access to MCP provided in the download section.

Please advise,

Thanks

Hi,

An nRF51 dongle or Evaluation kit is needed in order to use the Master Control Panel for windows. The Master control Panel is available for download under these product pages (Might be protected by the product key). Note that the master control panel is not really needed as it is possible to evaluate the Beacon kit using the nRF Beacon apps for Android and iOS. Both apps support usage, configuration and DFU of the Beacon kit. Please refer to the Beacon ref design user guide for details on how to use this product.

Best regards,

I've successfully loaded the Beacon using Master Control Panel for Android.
