Compiling BLE_Connectivity for pc-ble-driver on nRF52840 and activating PA/LNA on port 1

[Hamid]

Hi, 

I need to compile the BLE_Connectivity project for pc-ble-driver. I've followed the below document:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/blob/master/Installation.md#compiling-pc-ble-driver-from-source

and used this version of the repository on Github:

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/v2.3.2

Here is the problem:

Two pins of the microcontroller are connected to the PA/LNA control pints on the board and both are on Port #1. In this case, in order to utilize the PA/LNA, I need Softdevice S140 v6.1.0 (or higher) but it seems the BLE_connectivity project (matched with pc-ble-driver) only uses S132.

Could you please help me to find a way to compile the project and using Port #1 pins to control PA/LNA? is there any way to use S140 in this particular case?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no support for s140 in the stable release of pc-ble-driver. We are working on adding support for this softdevice, you can see the progress in the feature/v6-upgrade branch.

Please contact your regional sales manager for details on when s140 will be supported in pc-ble-driver.

Best regards,
Jørgen
