As I've seen many others have done, I bought the nRF518822 Development Kit not seeing that I needed the $400 nRFgo motherboard.
Searching around reveals that shouldn't stop me from being able to still program for the chip. All I'm trying to do is get it to advertise the iBeacon profile.
Here is my setup current on the hardware side:
What i've done from the software side:
- Installed Keil MDK-ARM Lite
- Installed J-Link Software (selected Keil MDK when asked what other IDE's I wanted to use)
- Installed nRF51 SDK
nFRgo Studio
nRFgo Studio
Segger
J-Link Commander
Device manager (if this helps at all)
From what I've also seen, I think that I need to flash the chip first before it shows up?? How do I go about flashing it without the motherboard??
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
(full disclosure, I am very new to this)
