Hi,

I see. If you want to use a newer MDK version (nRF_DeviceFamilyPack), you should first install it from Project -> Manage -> Pack Installer.... Once it is installed, you select it from Project -> Manage -> Select Software Packs... Like this:

Then Manage Run-Time Environment dialog should pop-up, and you select the new version there as well. Alternatively, open the dialog from Project -> Manage -> Run-Time Environment. Select both StartupConfig and Startup:

Depending on the previous configuration, some versions may still remain old after this. If so, right-click on all the files under Device (green icon at the end of the directory listings to the left), and select Options for... Make sure that the correct version is set for all.

Newer MDK versions typically include support for new chips as well as new errata workarounds for older chips.

Dear Einar

Thank you for quick reply.

\RTE\Device\nRF52840_xxAA\system_nrf52840.c.

I changed this .c file with .c file which you attached.

It solved. I can compile.

But, i dont understand,
I think i am using 8.24.1 right now, but i want to latest version (8.30.2)

And, what is the differences between MDK versions ? (8.24.1 - 8.30.2 ) what feature will change ?

Best regards,

Hi,

Keil has a peculiarity where it picks system_nrf52840.c from the latest installed MDK pack even if you select an older. So you need to find the correct MDK pack an copy the system_nrf52840.c from there, and overwrite the one in <keil project>\RTE\Device\nRF52840_xxAA\system_nrf52840.c.

For SDK 15.3 the default MDK version is 8.24.1, so if that is what you use, you can copy the file from either

<Keil 5 install directory>\ARM\PACK\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_DeviceFamilyPack\8.24.1\Device\Source
%APPDATA%\..\Local\Arm\Packs\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_DeviceFamilyPack\8.24.1\Device\Source
or simply use this one which if for 8.24.1: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../system_5F00_nrf52840.c
