Well, when debugging you can see if any any error codes is returned or if the device is running at all.

There is a tutorial on basic debugging here:

(its for SEGGER embedded studio)

No, I'm afraid nRF Connect isn't open source. (either for mobile or pc)

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

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.

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,
Joakim
