I can't program Fanstel EV-BT832 with Nordic NRF52 DK

Hi,

I am new to Nordic. I bought an NRF52 DK and a Fanstel EV-BT832 development board. As you can see in the picture, both boards are connected to the computer via USB. The 10 wire cable is connected to "debug-out" on NRF52 DK and the other end is connected to "debug-in" on Fanstel board.

I am trying to upload "ble_app_blinky_pca10040_s132" example to the fanstel board with Segger Embedded Studio. To do that, I click "Target --> Download ble_app...". Apparently the code is uploaded to the board but when I use NRF Connect on my phone, I can't see the Nordic device. However, when I upload the same code in the NRF52 DK, it works.

Any idea what is happening? How could I know the code is uploaded? Thanks in advance.

  • As says, the example probably isn't compatible with the fanstel board. Have you tried to debug the project to see what's going on?

    I suspect the fanstel board doesn't have any LFXTAL. In addition, the buttons and LEDs may not be on the same pins. I suggest you see if you find any examples provided by Fanstel to get started. It is easier to start development when you have something that you know is working.

    Best regards,

  • NRF52 DK has an nrf832 chip, as well as the fanstel board has a BT832 BLE module based on nrf832. I assumed that the code was the same for both, but it seems that I am wrong...

    You mean that the hardware connections are different so the code needs to be changed. Would it be enough to just adapt the code and the pinout to the BLE module? Apart from the LEDs or buttons of the board (that will be different), what I expected after uploading the code, is being able to see it as a possible connection when I scan for devices with NRF Connect. 

    This is the link of the fanstel BLE module  https://www.fanstel.com/bt810

    and the link of the documentation https://www.fanstel.com/bt810

    I think they don´t provide any code, just the hex file. So any idea what would be the next steps to make this work? Thank you very much I would appreciate any help.
