Successful Recipes

[jeff]

Hey all:

I have the Dev and Eval Kits and a handful of dongles. In addition to one of the Chinese nRF51822 devices. I have successfully connected via Segger debugger, used Keil V5, open, compiled, erased the device using both the nrfjprog util and Keil, and successfully built and flashed SoftDevices and Program Application segments. Here's where I'm stuck.

I never have I been able to detect (radio active) the 'running' (via Keil) device using tools ie Punch Through Design's LiteBlue. My goal to know that I've assembled, and selected the correct components (Recipe) to make the radio operate.

I've followed the SDKs GettingStarted:setup and read through much if not all of the SDK docs.

It's not clear to me which combination of components (SoftDevices, Program Applications and Program Bootloaders) are needed, version numbers matching required (or not), basically a receipt for getting this device to be functional.

The documentation is quite detailed, but from my perspective, seems to be missing an overarching narrative that would help make sense out of this rather complex combination of silicon and software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I somehow had a S110 SoftDevice that would load but didn't work correctly, not allowing the demo to work. Starting from scratch, re-downloading all of the various components for the S10001 eval board, I can now see the Heart Rate demo from LightBlue. With this beach head I shold be able to make much faster progress. The questions above are all still valid and I would love to have them answered if possible.
