You should try debugging the application, to see if it is running and if any error codes are reported.

Thank for your reply Jorgen Holmefjord,

I have nRF52 DK kit.

I need to do work custom board i.e nRF51822 QFAB

I need to do custom nRF51822 QFAB same as nRF51822 Smart Beacon kit.

Downloaded nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon kit firmware files and installed.

Step1:

Custom board NRF51822 QFAB is connected P19 of nRF52 DK kit.

I installed nRF go studio.

i loaded s110_nrf51822_7.1.0_softdevice .hex in softdevice of nRF51822 QFAB

opened source code of ble_app_beacon through keil and changed nRF51822 XXAC to our custom board nRF51822 QFAB

SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_4000MS_CALIBRATION, true); is chaged in Initialize the SoftDevice handler module

Compiled and loaded the Application file in nRF51822 QFAB custom board.

But Bluetooth is not enabled.

Please suggest any code change or hardware change

Hi,

You could have a look at this blog post. OpenOCD might also be an option. Like @awneil say, this is not created for flashing nRF51 ICs, and it is not something Nordic supports. Our development kits come with built-in J-Link debugger that you can use for programming external boards.

Best regards,
Jørgen

As the name suggests, ST-link is an ST product designed for programming & debugging ST chips - it is not designed nor supported for programming or debugging competitors chips.

However, a little searching will show you that many people have managed to hack it - so either search out those posts, or use a supported tool (J-Link, Keil uLink, etc).
