Are there any Segger Embedded Studio examples for the nRF51 dev kit? All the examples supplied with the nRF5_SDK_14.1.0 seem to be for the nRF52. I only bought a new dev kit this week and hoped it was up to date. The dev board is PCA10028 and has a nRF51422 IC.

SDK support for the nRF51 pretty much stopped at SDK12.2, SDKs 13 and 14 have been nRF52 based and the segger SES support is only very recent hence in SDK14.1 only (despite I believe SES being availble for nRF51 and nRF52 users).

To be honest that's a rather old development board. The chip still works, it's still available, it's a great BLE chip, however all the latest features, all the latest conformance with the new BLE features are only really available with the nRF52 and some of them only with the very latest nRF52840 (out hopefully this quarter, currently in engineering).

If you are sticking with the nRF51 I recommend building some of the SES samples anyway, learning how it works and then just following the pattern. The SES files are all just XML and I can now make new ones pretty much by hand. You can also import IAR or Keil files (which the SDK12 does have) into SES for a fairly good starting point (you'll need to do some trimming).

Hi Richie, you can convert the Keil projects in SDK v12.3 to Segger Embedded projects by following the steps in this blog post.
