"There is not documentation on how to port an application from one major SDK version to another. By major SDK version I mean from e.g. SDK 5.x.x to SDK 6.x.x or from SDK 6.x.x to SDK 7.x.x. I find the easiest way is to copy all custom code from your application into an example project in the new SDK"

I also have a Keil project created with an older SDK version, and need to update it to a later SDK version.

Specifically, updating from 6.1.0 to 7.1.0.

I have used the Keil Packs Installer to "update" the packs, and it now says it is using 7.1.0 - but the entries in the 'libraries' group of the Project are still pointing to the Nordic\nRF51\SDK\v6.1.0.0... files.

So how do I get it to update these references?

Or do I just have to do it all manually?

Would it be better to just start a new Project from scratch?!

Thanks Nate, was the update something that you ran or did you just replace those files? I may be missing something here.

When I did the update it seems to overwrite the previous SDK. Be careful if you have have projects that you created within the old SDK folders.
