how to upgrade nrf51822-beacon kit using nrf51-dk

Hi, I bought the nrf51822-beacon kit and nrf51-dk including TC2030-CTX-NL connector for connecting them each other through the Debug out pin on the nRF51-DK.

I can't find right source code and don't right compile way using the Keil-uV.

I need step by step explanations. I searched serveral days to solve this. No right materials.

Need helps.

  • Hi

    Can you please give us some more details?

    • What SDK and Softdevice are you using? If the markings on the nRF51 on your beacon says "nRF51822-CEAAD0" you should be using SDK v6.1.0 and softdevice 7.0.0. If the markings says nRF51822-CEAAE0 you should use SDK v8.0.0 and softdevice 8.0.0. SDKs are found here. Info on markings and SDK compatibility here.
    • What source code are you using? There are beacon examples in both SDKs mentioned above. You can find documentation on the examples here.
    • To program your beacon with the nRF51 DK should be easy. Just attach your TC2030 to the DK (make sure you connect it the right way) and plug it into your beacon. The nRF51 DK should automatically recognize the beacon and program this instead of the onboard nRF chip. Remember that you need a battery in your beacon. You cannot supply the beacon with power from the nRF51 DK.
    • What step-by-step explanations do you need? There are some tutorials here that can help you getting started. You should also browse this forum. A lot of people have already asked questions about how to use the beacon.
