Doesn't seem like the makefile included in the armgcc folder for the Smart Beacon Kit firmware has been tested at all. It had several errors.

I tried to fix the errors, and you can download the fixed makefile here.

There are still some gcc specific errors in the source code. You need to typecast BEACON_CONFIG_NAME to (uint8_t*) in line 443 in main.c. And you need to put BCS_UUID_BASE in braces in line 448 in ble_bcs.c

Now it should compile!

Hello all,

in the meantime I tried different SDK versions. I managed to get ble_app_beacon and ble_app_hrs from SDK 7.2.0 to run on the smart beacon hardware. Connecting my SEGGER J-Link with a Tag-Connect cable works very good.

I also was able to include the Smart Beacon sourcecode into SDK 7.2.0 and compile it there, but had to remove all the dfu stuff because it did not compile.

Kind regards

Stephan
