How can i get my nrf beacon kit to work with blinky app?

Hi Is there any precompiled package or hex file that is available for me to DFU my beacon kit to work with the blink app?

  • On that note: SDK is mostly ready to change HW (PCB) easily so going to nRF5 SDK v12.3.0 (last supporting nRF51 chips so far) and just re-defining target in PCA10028 project to PCA20006 should bring you half way through. The problem with Beacon Kit is: you cannot flash it and debug easily without either soldering or buying specific 6-pin needle cable. If you think to build blinky app with OTA bootloader (Nordic DFU solution) then it will take you couple of painful days and nights;)
