BL651 getting started

nonsemipro

Dear Nordics,

i'm getting started with development on Laird BL651.

Issues as follows:

It appears to be neccessary to switch to internal RC oscillator and adjust the clock tolerance to 500ppm. From what I've seen those settings are located in each example's sdk_config.h. Having it changed there, I still cannot discover my BL651.

The example in use is ble_app_uart from the pca10040e folder along with the S112 softdevice.

Very important second question:

How can I discover the nRF52810 with that ble_uart example WITHOUT using the smartphone app? Is there any open source software that'll do about the same thing? I'm on Linux and not really willing to grab someone else's smartphone in order to develop anything.

Best regards,

Christian

    Hi Christian.

    Have you been able to debug your device? Any errors, or other information that you can provide?
    You mention that you are not able to discover the device, but I guess that is related to the device is not advertising.

    How can I discover the nRF52810 with that ble_uart example WITHOUT using the smartphone app?

     Yes, you can also use, i.e nRF Connect for desktop to scan and discover your device. nRF Connect for desktop have an app that is pretty much the same as nRF connect for mobile.

    Best regards,

    Dear Joakim,

    debugging means knowing what to look for, so any hint on where to check if the actual bluetooth transmitter is supplied with its clock?

    And it means knowing how to debug - at this moment I'm glad I can flash the module from my pretty little command line, and if I'm supposed to debug, I'd need to know HOW - preferrably not with eclipse but with openocd + gdb!

    Finally, your advice to use nrfconnect got certain drawbacks (most important: won't just run - _on_ _debian_), plus it's not open source. What else can you recommend?

    Kind regards,

    Christian
