Keil 5.11 Device pack parsing error

[Jigney Shah]

Has anyone tried Keil 5.11? I get a parsing error when installing/repairing SDK when it imports the device pack into Keil. 5.10 works great.

The new parser is complaining about invalid tags.

According to the Keil online documentation, the swdconfig property has been removed. You can see that it was supported under previous CMSIS-Pack formats by looking them up in the Google cache.

To fix it, look for the PDSC file in the C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_DeviceFamilyPack\1.0.3 directory. Find the swdconfig tag and comment it out using XML comments by changing it to this:

<!--<swdconfig default="1" clock="2000000">-->

The JLink SWD clock parameters are queried automatically for the Segger devices, so this should be a harmless change.

Then restart Keil.

I've just done this, cleaned, then re-built, tested, flashed, and debugged a BLE HID solution, and it works just fine.
