Footprint of S110 V8.0.0

[SumitS]

Hi,

I would like to know what is the footprint of softdevice S110 v8.0.0. When i compile the Glucose code example from Nordic it shows a Program Memory utilised as around 27kB and data memory as 6kB. But somewhere i read that the softdevice has a footprint of 88kB. Can you please clarify?

Thanks

The softdevice and the app are two completely separate things. You don't link the softdevice into your app, you put the softdevice and your app on the device at the same time, softdevice at 0x00000000 and the app after the end of the softdevice.

So when you build your app it uses the softdevice but doesn't embed the softdevice and your app just shows the amount of flash/ram it itself uses.

Hi,

Can you please guide me through a step by step process as to how to program the soft device and BLE_GLS app on the nrf51822 chip

This is documented in the 'Getting Started' section of the SDK documentation which tells you how to use Keil and nrfStudio to program the device and program a softdevice. Also each of the examples has its own documentation telling you what it does, how to build it, and instructions on running it.

I believe the getting started guides for the various products also have information on loading up the first project.

Please try reading those and post questions about things you don't understand.

This tutorial might also be of interest: Setting up an example project on the nRF51 DK.. The tutorial uses the UART over BLE service, but it shouldn't be a problem to use the glucose example instead.
