Bug in loading the BLE code into the board

We don't have any Eclipse IDE projects in the SDK. It's possible to use Eclipse, but it can be somewhat cumbersome to set things up. I would instead recommend using Segger Embedded Studio(SES).

With the release of SDK 14.1, we have added support for Segger Embedded Studio (SES) IDE. SES is cross-platform, and can be used on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. You can use Segger Embedded Studio for commercial and non-commercial purpose with Nordic Semiconductor devices free of charge without any code limit. See this article for more information.

You can download SDK 14.1 here.

You can download Segger Embedded Studio from here.

You can do something like this:

nrfjprog --family nRF52 --eraseall
nrfjprog --family nRF52 --program [SOFTDEVICE_LOCATION]\s132_nrf52_5.0.0_softdevice.hex

Then you can use Keil to flash the application code.

If you prefer, you can also use the GUI program nRF Go Studio. Can be downloaded here.

I think so but never used it like that. I use nrfjprog for flashing my dk.

So all I have to do is drag and drop the s132_nrf52_2.0.0_softdevice.hex into the DK ???

Hello Haaris. Before the DK can be programmed with a user application, it must be flashed with the correct SoftDevice. The SoftDevice is a preprogrammed hex file that contains all the necessary functions to control the radio in BLE mode. Hex for SoftDevice for your appplication you will find under SDK_PATH\components\softdevice\s132\hex.
