S130 Example for Keil v5

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 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 ?
