Using Keil uV5 with RF51822 4.4.1 SDK?

[Ward WIllats]

Just got the RF51822 PCA 1001 dev board and followed the instructions in SDK 4.4.1 and downloaded the Keil Lite tools from the ARM website.

BUT, didn't realize Keil has (just) updated to uVision to version 5 and the SDK projects are at version 4.

Now, that's OK, uV5 will build and run u4 projects, BUT...

When I go to make a new project in uV5, the Nordic's Device Database with the RF51822 config (nrf51.cdb), although found by uV5 from tools.ini, will not display any of the device details so they can be attached to a target.

(uV5 also wouldn't show any of the device details from the uV4 main DB (UV4.cdb) either, until I download a bunch of legacy crap fro ARM. (Why i had to do that, for what I assume are just tool settings, I have no idea.))

ANYWAY, what is the best way forward? Wait for an update? Customize some vanilla M0/CMSIS nonsense? Give up and start drinking?

Ah, never mind? Things seem to be working after a restart. All that legacy device package stuff I download from ARM must have fixed something.

But, uh, why does /UV4/UV4.exe launch a uV5 UI ?

I haven't seen any major problems when using UV5 with the nRF51822, but just for reference, would you care to comment with which exact components you installed?

Feel free to accept your own answer, since you apparently solved your own problem! :-)
