nRF51822 Updated Setup Procedure for Development Kit

Is there any updated install procedure for the nRF51822 tools?

I'm trying to follow procedure in: nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.4 I have the nRFgo Starter Kit, the nRF51822 Dev Kit, nRF51822 EK, nRF51822 Beacon, and also a Fujitsu Module kit using nRF51822.

Latest hurdles using [nRFgo Starter Kit] with [nRF51822 Dev Kit]: a) I can't get Blinky or Heart Rate Monitor examples to work, when try opening projects it says I need to install Keil Legacy support, so I follow that link and install, but that doesn't really work. b) Next is says it can't find the software packs. I did install [nrf51_sdk_v5_2_0_39364.msi] and later [nrf51_sdk_v6_0_0_43681.msi], but they don't seem to install enough. c) I did install the latest soft device on the hardware as per 3.2 step5 d) Is there any real list of what needs to be downloaded and installed to make the Dev kit or Eval Kit work? It says to put in keys on website, and you get many many downloadable things, but no guide as to which are actually needed to get started or the order to install them.

Help!!!

The procedure seems to assume some knowledge of Keil/Nordic/Arm/Segger that I just can't guess my way past.

  • What I have learned:

    a) You must do an Erase All using nRFgo Studio before doing anything.

    -- blinky needs soft device erased

    -- new soft device needs any previous code erased (i.e. blinky)

    -- Heart rate doesn't need Erase All since that was done when loaded the required Soft Device (i.e. s110v7)

    b) Path to Heart Rate project is "s110", not "ble"

    c) The AppNote nAN-36 is basically obsolete, instead follow the examples and information in SDK6.1 documentation: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../index.html
