Help in using ptr5518 (with nRF51822 SoC)

[sid]

Hello, I have a ptr5518 module which has nRF51822 in it. I need help programming the device. I am new here so a detailed help will be very useful. I want to use the built-in ARM M0 controller and BLE of nRF51822. Please tell me how should I write my programs and how to put it in my module.

Link to module: link text

The link has description and datasheet.

First you need to goto nordicsemi.com website. Register an account and register your product key. Then it would allows you to download the bluetooth stack and sdks. There are many examples in the sdk you can look at. You will need a jtag tool to flash the firmware and debug. The segger jlink is the one supported by nordic.

The SDK uses Keil as development platform. If you want to use with free Eclipse & GCC you can follow this blog. embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/.../ehal-nrf51.html

I do not have a product key, will that be a problem? I have the module from the given link.

the official module manufacturer should have a product key for you. Without the product key, you don't get access to the Bluetooth stack and SDK. You won't be able to develop software for it.
