RE: Running nRF51-ble-bcast-mesh on nRF51 dongles

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

Sorry I forgot to mark it as "correct answer", but indeed it worked like wonders. Thank you!

Hi,

The mesh protocol is compatible with SDK6.x and 7.x for now, and I recommend that you use 7.2.0. You need the non-packs version of the SDK, which can be found under nRF51_SDK/nRF51_SDK_v7.x.x/nRF51_SDK_7.2.0_cf547b5.zip on the Nordic Developer portal. When you have the correct version, clone the mesh project (or download and unzip) to [SDK7-folder]/examples/[Mesh-folder]. This way, you will not have to change the include paths in the project files.

There are some example projects located under /nRF51/examples. I recommend that you start with the BLE_Gateway project. Go to [Mesh-folder]/nRF51/examples/BLE_Gateway/arm, and open rbc_mesh_BLE_Gateway_SDK7.uvprojx in Keil uVision 5. Under "Options for target" in uVision, go to the tab "C/C++" and change the BOARD_PCA10001-define to fit your target board. Compile the project.

Next, use nRFGoStudio to flash the dongle with the Softdevice S110v7.x, available at the Nordic homepage, and then the .hex file you compiled in uVision (found under [Mesh-folder]/nRF51/examples/BLE_Gateway/arm/_build). Look at the BLE_Gateway-readme to see how you can interact with your mesh.
