That&#39;s the error message you&#39;re getting.&nbsp; The code compiles perfectly fine with GCC, with a licensed version of Keil or IAR or, with the most recent versions of the SDK, Segger Embedded Studio, which is free for Nordic Development work.&nbsp;</p> <p>So either buy a Keil license or compile it with another toolchain. I recommend the latter as Keil is .. &#39;orrible.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
