Hi,

For SDK v15.3.0 you need to use Softdevice v6.1.1. You can find it under the folder components/softdevice/s140/hex/s140_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice.hex inside the SDK folder.

Click "Add HEX file" in the nRF Programmer app to upload a new Softdevice and then "Write".

Best regards,

Marjeris

Hi, I tried your approach, it builds but I am encountering another problem related to the nrf connect app when programing the dongle.

The problem is related to the SoftDevices. When writing the new hex file I chose 0XAE (s140_nrf52_6.1.0) for the sdk15.3.0. I also chose 0XA9 (s140_nrf52_6.0.0) and all the rest just to try. But still I did not fix the issue.

Is there something I am missing to do ?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. Since this example uses SoftDevice the only thing you need to do is to update the Preprocessor Definitions by removing BOARD_PCA10056 and inserting BOARD_PCA10059 and you should be able to build the example. You don't need to adjust the linker configuration.

Did you check if you were able to build the example out of the box? It could be that your working directory is in a too deep level (i.e. long path name). This is a problem related to Windows path limitation, and is a known issue when the names get too long. You can try to move the SDK folder to level that is not that deep.

Best regards,
