Using Segger Embedded Studios -- How to Build Project with SDK v16.0.0 and Soft device S113

[Sami]

Hello,

I am starting a new project and we are using the following:

-NRF52840

-SDK v16.0.0

-pca10056 (NRF52849 DK)

After downloading the SDK, I was able to build the project "ble_app_hrs_freertos" successfully and get it to run with soft device S140. Now, I'd like to use the more memory efficient S113 soft device instead. When I swapped the soft devices (remove S140 and replace with S113), the project will build, but when executing, I get the following:

"Stopped by vector catch"

What are the necessary steps to migrate from S140 to S113 using SES?

Do I need to modify the .emProject file and replace all callouts of S140 to S113?

Hello,

The easiest approach is probably to open the *.emProject file in a text editor, do a "search and replace" for all occurrences of S140 and s140 (case sensitive).  Then in the same file, update the application start address in flash, so it corresponds with the size of the new Softdevice (s113 v7.x is 0x1C000 bytes - Memory resource map and usage). 

 ble_app_hrs_freertos s113 port:

s113.zip

This response was perfect and now my project is running with S113 seamlessly.
