Is there a Keil project file for PCA20006 beacon firmware?

[Andrew]

I'm working on a project using the nRF51822 beacon kit (PCA20006), and I've downloaded the firmware files installer from the website. After running the installer, I can see the source code and documentation, but there does not seem to be a Keil project file in any of the directories. Do I have to create one from scratch or is there a Keil project for the default firmware code or a project that can be modified easily?

Hi

For beacon firmware v1.0.1 (for softdevice S110 v6.0.0) the Keil project file should be located under \Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51822 Beacon v1.0.1\Source Code\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\nrf51_beacon\pca20006\ble_app_beacon_bcs\arm

For beacon firmware v1.1.0 (for softdevice S110 v7.1.0) the Keil project file should be located under \Nordic Semiconductor\nRF51822 Beacon v1.1.0\Source Code\nrf51_beacon\ble_app_beacon\pca20006\s110\arm

Update 30.1.2015 All Beacon kit firmware versions are available from the Nordic Beacon kit page

Stefan,

Thanks for your note - I downloaded the v1.1.0 installer and I have that directory, but it is empty except for two empty folders (Listings and Objects) . I ran the installer from the downloads section of the beacon page. OS is Win 7 64-bit. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the v1.1.0 installer. Can you provide a link to the v1.0.1 installer so that I can see if that works properly on my machine?

[Andrew]

The installer did not initially work for some reason, but it looks like the problem might have been on my machine. Fully uninstalling, then reinstalling the v1.1.0 firmware installer correctly placed the uvprojx file on my machine. Thanks for your help Stefan!

I have installed the Beacon firmware 1.1.0 on my win 7 64-bit with good results. I can open the Keil project from the installation path mentioned before. I notice that v1.0.1 has .uvproj (Keil uVision4 project file) while the v1.1.0 has .uvprojx (Keil uVision5 project file). Could it be the case that you have Keil uVision4 installed and are therefore not able to see the .uvprojx project file?

I''m running 5.13, so I should be able to see the uvprojx file, but it doesn't even show up in Windows Explorer. I'll try a fresh install and see what happens.
