Martin,

I have since figured out this issue. Keil versions 5.01 through 5.10 no longer support the most recent packs. This would not be an issue, since I am using a pretty old SDK that doesn't need to be installed as a pack (I had the correct SDK for my soft device and chip). However, Keil 5.01 always recommended that I download the most recent family pack. The most recent family pack cannot be recognized by Keil 5.01. It took me some time, but eventually I found a link to older family packs that Keil 5.01 could recognize. Readers should see the link below if they are having the same issue (7.2.1 works).

Hi Zthatch,

Please download the specific files from this site. (download tab)

Especially the MDK files for Keil

Hi Martin,

I don't think that is the correct SDK for the Rev 2 chip according to the compatability matrix. As an update, I have tried installing newer versions of Keil in hopes that the packs will install correctly on a newer version. This has not worked.

1 more lead: The pack installer for Keil 5.1 and 5.10 are failing to read pack descriptions for me. 5.25 is succeeding, but I think I may have the "lite" version installed. I am not sure how this might be affecting its ability to recognize the chip. (to be clear, Keil version 5.25 also does not recognize my nRF51822IC rev 2 chip, even though I have all of the SDKs mentioned installed)

Hi Zthatch,

Please use SDK v12.3.
