NRF52832 not advertising after programming Softdevice132 and ble_app_hrs example

[asantos]

SoftDevice 132v6.1.0 

RKNRFgo (nrfgo studio for Mac OS --  more info here https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/tools-for-os-x-development ) used to program SoftDevice

Segger studio used as IDE

Computer: Mac OS Mojave 10.14

Chip: RAK Wireless RAK8211-NB 

I am trying to run one of the BLE peripheral examples, ble_app_hrs . The steps I'm following to program the board are:

1. Install SoftDevice using RKnrfgo 

2. Program the ble_app_hrs exaple using SeggerStudio (⁨path -- nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96⁩ ▸ ⁨examples⁩ ▸ ⁨ble_peripheral⁩ ▸ ⁨ble_app_hrs⁩ ▸ ⁨pca10040⁩ ▸ ⁨s132⁩ ▸ ⁨ses⁩)

3. Open nRFconnect on my Android phone and scan devices

Expected: A device with name Nordic_HRM should be present

Actual: Cannot see any device with name Nordic_HRM

I have programmed my board with this same example some weeks ago and was able to see connect to the device using nrfgo, I was also able to connect to the device by bluetooth using Espruino

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong this time?

Thanks!

Hi.

I have never tried using RKNRFgo studio.

nRFgo Studio is now deprecated and no longer supported.

I would suggest that you try using the nRF Connect - Programmer app instead, which is an official Nordic Semiconductor tool.
Download nRF Connect for desktop. for MacOS. Go to Add/Remove apps and install the Programmer.

Best regards,
Joakim

Thanks very much,

I confirm this app works
