S130 Example for Keil v5

[SergP]

I've downloaded S130 SoftDevice and found an example s130_demo_app which contains a project file for Keil v4, but when I am trying to open it in Keil V5 (that is the only version I have installed on my machine) I am seeing the following message: "Install Software Pack with device support and select device"

Please note - I am not seeing that dialog when running s110 examples (they have project file for Keil V5).

Is it safe to ignore that dialog or I had better to install Keil V4 ? Also trying to find out why the example doesn't provide project file for Keil V5.

The Software Pack from Nordic is installed when you install the nRF51 SDK or if you run the nRFTools. So I would recommend you to download and run the installation of nRFTools and then you should see the warning in Keil 5 should disappear.

You could probably also go into the "Option for target" menu in Keil and under "Device" select nRF51822 from Nordic Semiconductor, but to be on the safe side, try running the above mentioned nRFTools.

I had those tools installed but I installed them one more time and that didn't help. In addition, when I am navigating to the Device you mentioned above I am seeing this error:

"Error: Device Support not found: Device: nRF51822_xxAA Vendor: Nordic

The device support is part of Legacy Pack that is not installed on your computer. To download the missing Legacy Pack visit www.keil.com/mdk5/Legacy"

Would you recommend downloading the Legacy Pack or there should be better ways to fix the issue?

I downloaded the Legacy Pack but that didn't help neither - Keil is till displaying exactly the same errors as I reported above. I also reinstalled nrf51_sdk_v6_1_0 (and I made sure to select "Keil support files->nRF Device Family Pack installation for Keil") but that didn't help neither.

Let me also emphasis that the file Nordic\s130_nrf51822_0.5.0-1.alpha\Example\s130_demo_app\s130_demo.uvproj is displayed (in my Windows Explorer) with type "mVision4 Project" - to me that looks like a concern and at least potential source of the issue - why was the project file created for older version of Keil instead of supporting v5 ?

I've downloaded S130 from here: www.nordicsemi.com/.../42250364 is that right location?

Where should Software Pack be located on my hardrive? May be if you tell me that I could provide more info to help you narrow down the issue? I really need to use S130 (because of its promising feature Observer and Broadcaster at the same time) so I would appreciate your help.

P. S. I am able to run S110 examples without issues which mostlikely means that I have Software Pack installed, doesn't it ?

i am also facing exactly the same issue as mentioned here. Could anybody please help to solve the problem.. thanks in advance

I added a screen shot of the device setting on my computer. I have Keil 5 installed and I'm running the keil 4 project as well. I get the same warning regarding the package missing as you describe, but after selecting the nRF51822 device as shown in the screen shot I can compile and everything works. If this still doesn't work, then I would suggest trying Keil 4. You shouldn't have to do this, but anything is better than not getting anywhere.

I have followed your steps and the screen shot, when I was saving the changes on Debug TAB I saw this message "mVision will save this project in mVision 5 format to store the new configuration settings." So I agreed to that and then reloaded the project, this time I didn't see any errors warnings and was able to compile but when I was trying to Load I saw error related to ULINK so I went into the Settings->Debug and selected Use="J-LINK / J-TRACE Cortex" but that didn't seem to help when I am trying to execute Load am seeing: "No Cortex-M Device found in JTAG chain. Please check the JTAG cable and the connected devices" but I am sure that my Evaluation Kit is connected into the machine because I am able to "see" it in nRFgo Studio and it shows the S130 I uploaded there earlier. What else could I try? May be you could send me screenshots of your TABs (in Keil) so I could compare them to mine? Please note - I am sure that JTAG chain is installed on my machine and it is "visible" to Keil because I can debug S110 applications without problems.
