Is someone succesfully running revision 1 nrf51822 with newer SD and/or SDK?

I'm asking because I recently figured out my modules aren't based on revision 2 chips as expected but on revision 1.

Maybe someone already made some experiences on this matter?

I'am currently going downwards from SDK8+SD8 and try out if example applications work.. (what example that uses the S110 Softdeice may have the highest success chance on an foreign module?)

  • Not really - there's a lot of examples, each SDK has a template project, the examples are all documented in the SDKs they reside in and they explain what they do quite well. The latter SDKs have more examples, the earlier ones may be more guaranteed to work on your board revision. Some of them have makefiles if you're building with gcc, all have project files if you're using keil/IAR.

    The nordic dev boards come with guides but they are more about setting the thing up and telling you what's on the board than a guide to programming. You could look at those see if there's anything helpful, it does say something about getting the programming environment set up which may help and that's not board-specific.

    First job is to build one of the examples unchanged off the SDK and get it plus a suitable softdevice onto the chip. Until you can do that - you're not going to get too far.
