Issues with nRF51822 EK ble_uart_example and iOS 8.0

[Stephan]

Hi everyone,

I dont know if I encounter these issues because of iOS 8.0 but I'm not able to receive data from the console, send via PCA100001, on my iPhone. Though, what does work is sending text from the iPhone to the PCA100001.

I connected a USB-UART-Dongle and I can read my text messages sent from the iPhone. But when I try to send anything from the pc -> PCA100001 -> iPhone I dont see anything...

For experimentation I'm using the fixed ble_uart_example from this devzone, together with the 4.x SDK

Is it my fault or is there something weird with the iOS App? I downloaded the latest with the iOS 7 fix.

**UPDATE: I'm still pretty much wondering wether this is mine or iOS' fault.

From the screenshot you can see that the string ("test" input from console) is processed right and that the resulting errcode is 0. Still it does not show on the iOS-App?

Kind regards, Stephan

Hi everyone,

I got the same issues with the following environment:

• nRF51422 EK connected through USB with PC
• UART connected through SEGGER-Chip
• SD110 v7
• latest ble_uart_example from github
• iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1
• Custom developed iOS-App or/and Nordic UART App

Problem is still :

• Sending from iPhone to nRF51422-PCB works. Output is printed on terminal
• Sending from Terminal->nRF51422->iPhone does not work. Nothing arrives.

Also tested:

• Entering text in the char through the Master Control Panel also has no effect. I've subscribed to the char-value on the iPhone for any change, but it does not change.

Do you have any chance to verify your example at your labs? Maybe iOS 8 is the problem? I will try to work myself through the ble_uart_NRF-Code .....

Kind regards

I have one of the first nRF51822 EK's with old chip revisions and from what I have read the newer SDK's are only supported by the newer revisions of the nRF51822.

Am I wrong?
