nRF5 SDK V16.0 Support for PCA10031

[Cazpian]

Hi, 

I can't find any ses project files for PCA10031 (dongle) in nRF5 SDK V16.0 when examining the [.../examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_hrs] folder. Additionally, there doesn't appear to be any sub-folders supporting the S103 SoftDevice. I've either downloaded the wrong SDK or the wrong version. The downloaded zip file was named nRF5SDK160098a08e2.zip. Which version of the nRF5 SDK supports development on the PCA10031 dongle ? I've now ordered a nRF52840 so this is likely to be a mute point.

 

Kind Regards,

Tim

Hi Tim,

The latest SDK supporting Softdevice S130 (and thus the nRF51 dongle) is nRF5 SDK v12.3.

Hi Marjeris Romero that's perfect, thanks for the help. How would one determine the correct SDK version appropriate for either the board number or the SoftDevice version number? The Links from the SoftDevice version page are not specific to an SDK release incremental ?

... Also, I see that this version doesn't have any ses projects setup for the pca10028 (same chipset as pca10031) so can you link me to an article of how someone might convert any of the existing example files into a ses project ? Thanks again.

For the nRF51 series there is a SDK and SoftDevices compability matrix here: https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/comp_matrix_nrf51/COMP/nrf51/nRF51422_nRF51822_ic_rev_sdk_sd_comp_matrix.html

When downloading any SDK you will also see the compatible SoftDevices for each nRF5 SDK version in the "Compatible downloads" tab.

Hi,

We didn't include SES projects examples in our SDK before SDK 14.1. You can take a look at the SES tutorial on Devzone for how to setup a project in SES. There is also a video tutorial series here.

Best regards,
