Ahh..! don't make it complicated Its So Simple to resolve...!

Step 1 -- Right Click on the file ( which you want to unlock ) in keil . Step 2 --You will get into the window where the file is. Step 3 --Right click on the file and click properties. Step 4 --Uncheck the Read Only Button.

Ka..! Boom..! Now the yellow key sign from the file will diasappear & you can Edit the file Easily In the Keil..! :)

Would be nice to have dfu_transport_ble.c unlocked as well to be able to change de device name...

Yes, for the bootloader, PSTORAGE_RAW_MODE_ENABLE has to be defined.

To close this question, I will accept Nordic's recommendation even though I think this solution is the way to go.

Thanks! Worked for me (after solving small problem with pstorage_platform.h not defining PSTORAGE_RAW_MODE_ENABLE for some reason).

Since the pack system is what is going to be used going forward and it's really nice to have just the files that are configurable stored in revision control (files inside the RTE directory), I will post what I have used for others to see.

Proceed at your own risk ...

Close Project
Back up your project files, especially the RTE directory
Replace the Pack Descriptor file for the nRF Libraries-2.0.0 (see below)
Remove the RTE, Objects, Listings directories
Open Project
Re-build
Verify that every .c file that uses dfu_types.h does not have the locked symbol (the yellow key) by the dfu_types.h file name.

Replace the attached file in this directory Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Libraries\2.0.0

NordicSemiconductor.nRF_Libraries.pdsc

NOTE: This will only work for the dual-bank, s110, ble.

As I see you have already noticed, modifying library files or drivers is pretty troublesome when using packs. I have at this point no further recommendation other than already mentioned on this thread on how to tackle the problem when using packs. We have worked around this by simply using the conventional SDK folder structure instead, i.e. without packs, also available for all our SDKs on developer.nordicsemi.com. How to use the conventional SDK folder structure with the latest Keil 5 version is straightforward, described here, and that is what we currently recommend for customers that want to modify library files or drivers in the SDK.

Update 27.3.2015 The bootloader_settings_arm.c file was made locked by mistake. It will be made configurable, hopefully in the next version of the SDK.

Thanks for sharing your solution, Kevin! Hope Nordic will pick this up...

I had to hack the Pack Descriptor file (NordicSemiconductor.nRF_Libraries.pdsc) that Keil uses to determine which files are user configurable and hence get put into the local RTE directory. It's not pretty but it works for me. If Nordic's intent is to make dfu_types.h user configurable, then they need to make sure that every file that includes it is also user configurable. Otherwise, Keil still picks up the dfu_types.h in the Pack directory. I hesitate to post my modified file because this is something that really should come from Nordic.

No solution yet... I tried to play around with the include order used by Keil, but did not manage to get it working. I expect it has something to do with this. Hopefully someone already has a solution for this seemingly easy problem...

I've also found myself needing to change a basic macro from a locked file. Please update if you've found a solution.

Have you found a resolution to this yet? I am also wondering how to do this.
