mBed Kit and BLE demo

[Jigar Patel]

Hi,

I am novice to this MCU development world. I have lots of programming experience with desktop/web services side. I recently received my nRF51822 mBed development kit. I am able to load and run blinky without a problem. I read that mBed device comes with S110 pre loaded. So

1. How can I can connect mBed devlopment kit to my phone? I don't expect do anything with it but I just want to see Bluetooth working on the kit and discoverable by other devices.

In the mBed use guide there was nothing related to that.

I know mBed compiler has some bluetooth samples. Some of them are couple of years older so I am not sure if I should use them.

2. How can I upgrade SoftDevice on the kit. nRF Studio doesn't recognize the board as one of its own.

3. Is it safe to assume, programs compiled in keil project can be installed on mBed kit as well without any problem?

I am open to reading stuff but I just don't know where to find it. :(

Thanks for your help

Thank you Wojtek

The problem I had that I don't have BLE application residing on the board. I found some sample BLE applications from mbed website and I was able to run it.
