Answer to my reply - the error was caused by Keil V5 not getting the include paths quite right. go into options, g++ tab, figure out where that file lives (should be in the SDK somewher, USE V12) and plop the link down.

Alternate solution might be to downgrade to Keil V4, apparently that path is set correctly on install... I haven't verified this method though.

Thanks for the links. I do have nrf connect on android already.

So it looks like you're using SDK v12 for that. I looked for that version and downloaded it. Unfortunately, I get this pile of errors when building, which didn't happen before (not too sure what version i was on, no idea where to find it). Are you using keil 4 as well, or some other IDE?

Have you seen those errors before?

Documentation for the BLE UART example is here: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v12.3.0/ble_sdk_app_nus_eval.html?cp=5_5_7_4_2_2_19

You should flash the s130 Softdevice that is located in the SDK folder: components\softdevice\s130\hex Use the nRF connect Programmer application to flash the SD as well. Or you can use nrfjprog (command line utility) to program the hex.

You can test the example using nRF connect for Android / iOS
