ISSEUE WHILE FLSHING SOFTDEVICE

[santhosh kumar.s]

Hi,

i am working with nRF52840-DK which i received yesterday from shipment. so i want to eun the BLE peripheral application on that.

As we know if we want to run the BLE related examples we first need to program soft device into the board.

So i downloaded nRFGo studio and trying to flash the soft device S140/s340 but facing the below problem

 in the abou picture, board is detecting but i am unable to see soft device flash tab. if i press recover button then in log it is showing recover completed but again the same issue.

Anyone help me to sort out the issue, so that i can go forward.

Thanks & Regards

Hi, 

nRFgo Studio is no longer updated. I recommend to use nRF Connect for desktop or nRF Command line tools directly:

Dear Amanda Hsieh,

 Thank you for your quick reply,

 By using nRF Connect for Desktop how can i flash the soft device ?

 And can i flash the BLE peripheral example by using the Desktop App ?

  if possible please provide me the document for the abou queries, it will be very useful to me.

Yes, Please see Programming a Development Kit or the nRF51 Dongle.

The pre-compiled image of the BLE peripheral example is under ble_peripheral\ble_app_XXX\hex. You also could use the Segger project to build and load the image to DK. The Segget example project already is set to load the softdevice.

thank you Amanda,

i downloaded the nRF connect for desktop and i am able to flash the soft device in it.

i programmed the Ble_Periphera\BLE_App_Template example.  and i am able to connect in nrf Connect mobile application and from mobile application i am able to sending data to board.

so if i want to send any data from board to mobile which API i need to call, how can i send the data into the air from the board. 

help me to solve the problem so that the communication between mobile and DK will be success.

What kind of data do you want to send? This UART/Serial Port Emulation over BLE example might help you.

Hai Amanda,

i want to send string type of data over BLE and the data should appear in mobile.

present i don't want to use UART/serial ports.

it should be like if i send any string data from board it should appear in mobile and from mobile to board vice versa.

Thanks

Hi Santhosh, 

The last requirement seems it is far away from the original issue. Please create a new support case to handle it. 

Please also verify the answer to this post if the issue is fixed.
