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.

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.

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

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,

As per your above reply SoftDevice S110 requires about 92kB. But when i compile Glucose example from the SDK provided by Nordic it shows only 28-30kB of program memory. So does the example use S110 stack or not. If yes how it is showing code memory of about 25-30kB instead of more than 92kB.

Also can i use the examples from Nordic to test the BLE Glucose application to test the glucose functionality. Do i need to make any changes to it?

Hi,

Have a look at Chapter 11.2, "Memory resource map and usage" in the S110 SoftDevice Specification v2.0

You will see that the S110 SoftDevice v8 is 92kB and the Master Boot Record is 4kB, hence the application code base lies at 96kB (0x18000).
