Issues programming my nRF51822 for the first time

[barus]

Hello All,

I'm trying to program a NRF51822 module for the first time.Using Keil, Soft device s110_nrf51_8.0.0,soft device kit nRF51_SDK_9.0.0_2e23562 when I try to program  I get an success  message  but no blinking of the LED

Please see below. Any clues?

Hi Barus,

I can still see that you are not using the SDK version I recommended.

--> Please Download SDK v12.3.

 There should not be a problem for you using Keil. 

--> Since you are using the PCA20006 board you have to enable support for that board as shown here. (define 'BOARD_PCA20006' in C/C++, ASM)

 

 

- And you don't need to flash the Softdevice if you are not using a BLE application. (which the regular blinky example is not)

OK thank you again

and i have a new problem how can field it

const uint8_t leds_list[LEDS_NUMBER] = LEDS_LIST;

[Martin Lesund]

What do you mean?
When you define the PCA20006 you will see in "boards.h." that "pca20006.h" is included.
