ble_app_hids_keyboard example and Windows 7 Driver issue

[aalhajeh]

Hi,

I'm having some issues getting the ble_app_hids_keyboard example working on  Windows 7! While I can pair and connect from Windows 7 the Bluetooth HID driver fails to install with an Error code 10 (This device Cannot Start). The setup I have is using broadcom bcm20702 chipset and Broadcom WIDCOMM Bluetooth version 6.5.1.6930 running on Windows 7 X64 ( Service Pack 1).

I can pair the ble_app_hids_keyboard example to WIndows 10, Mac OS, and Android with no issues so this issue only happens on Windows 7.

Here is the log from the nRF52-DK when the pairs to windows 7:

0> <info> app: HID Keyboard example started.
 0> <info> app: Fast advertising.
 0> <info> app: Connected
 0> <info> app: Connection secured: role: 1, conn_handle: 0x0, procedure: 1.
 0> <info> app: New Bond, add the peer to the whitelist if possible
 0> <info> app:     m_whitelist_peer_cnt 1, MAX_PEERS_WLIST 8

I tried the ble_app_hids_keyboard example example using s112 and s132 softdevices and I got the same error on Windows 7

FYI, I also have the Desktop 2 Dev kit and it works OK on the same PC with windows 7!

any ideas?

Thanks

Anas

FYI, I aslo tried SDK 12.0.0, SDK 12.3.0, SDK 13.1,0, and SDK 15.0.0 and all had the same issue with Win7. The only version that works with Win7 is SDK 11.0.0
