Running nRF51-ble-bcast-mesh on nRF51 dongles

[Yuri Murillo]

Hello!

I've just started using the nRF51 dongles (currently having 5 of them) and I would like to test the GitHub mesh protocol. Excuse my lack of experience, but I am having trouble knowing where I should unzip the files. Should I create a new folder inside my SDK and just dump everything there? Could anybody explain how to start using the files provided and run the examples?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I am trying to compile the BLE_Gateway_SDK7.uvprojx using Keil. But, it is giving me the following errors.

Surely, it means that I have not defined the path correctly. Kindly help me in deciding the correct path so that it can compile without errors. This is the current path of BLE_Gateway_SDK7.uvprojx that I am using: C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Examples\7.2.0\nRF51-ble-bcast-mesh-master\nRF51\examples\BLE_Gateway\arm\rbc_mesh_BLE_Gateway_SDK7.uvprojx
