I have solved the issue, the main reason was the linker placement segments are named differently in project file (created by converting Keil project) and flash_placement.xml file.

linker_section_placements_segments="FLASH RX 0x00000000 0x00040000;RAM RWX 0x20000000 0x00008000"

and also changed the start up files.

<folder Name="Segger Startup Files">
      <file file_name="$(StudioDir)/source/thumb_crt0.s" />
</folder>
<folder Name="None">
  <file file_name="../../../../../../components/toolchain/ses/ses_startup_nrf_common.s" />
  <file file_name="../../../../../../components/toolchain/system_nrf51.c" />
  <file file_name="../../../../../../components/toolchain/ses/ses_startup_nrf51.s" />
</folder>

And finally

 debug_additional_load_file="../../../../../../components/softdevice/s130/hex/s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.hex"
 debug_register_definition_file="../../../../../../svd/nrf51.svd"

I forgot to touch upon this in my initial reply, but the nRF51422 is definitely still in production, we just don't have support for it beyond SDK v.12.3. I think the example in Vidar's reply should work as long as you follow the instructions he added and use SES v.4.12 or similar. Is there a particular reason you need to use v.4.30b?

I have requested for the blog post to be updated, but I can't guarantee that this will be prioritized any time soon.

Best regards,

Simon

I came across this post before, the problem is that uses several files which are not part of a SDK5 v 12.3.2 library, like the files in modules folder and segger_rtt_imported. I tried with the latest version of these files from nRF5_SDK_16.0.0_98a08e2 but didn't worked. I will try again.

The blog post need to be updated, seems not work with latest SES.

Please check out this case, where my colleague Vidar has uploaded a SEGGER Embedded Studios project compatible with nRF51. Alternatively, you can check out this blog post, showing step by step how to import a Keil µVision project to SES. Note that the tutorial may not be updated to work with recent SES versions.

Best regards,
