Changes needed to run ble_multilink_peripheral / any other example on custom nRF51822 module ( rev 1 )

[muhkuhns]

Hello,

I know it is not recommended to use SD8.0.0 and SDK8 on revision 1 ( QFAAC0 ) based modules.. But as it is for testing purpose only and would save me a lot of time if I could use all the new drivers and wouldn't have to rewrite the whole application..

So I am currently trying to get the BLE Multi-link Peripheral example working on one of mine BLE Micro.

What I have done so far:

• removed everything related to BSP
• deleted the BOARD_PC10028 define an deleted all traces of bsp.h and boards.h
• tried it with IRAM1 size set to 0x2000
• what may I've missed?

Of course I always test it on my nRF51-DK and it is still working there. (The module is working too. It works with the default firmware it came with and shows up via BLE. But not with any BLE Example I try..)

What else do/may I need to change for getting this/any example to

• run on another (my) module?
• run on revision 1?

Any experiences and/or tips are more than welcome!

There are many PAN's that need to be addressed when using older chips. Please read this post. The softdevice has compatibity matrix and if you are using softdevice version that is not supported on your chip then you cannot achieve it. This is because the newer softdevice code has removed all the workarounds needed for PAN's on the older chip which has been fixed on newer ones.
