Compatible NRF5 SDK/Softdevice with NRF52832 Rev. 1

Guys,

I am currently experimenting with an existing wearable that contains an NRF52832XXAA Revision 1, and I'm having a hard time to have it running a simple BLE peripheral application.

Could you indicate me which SDK version should I use or what to configure in order to get it working?

This is what I know so far:

- I'm using NRF5 SDK V16 and S132 V7.0.1, which as far as I can understand from this compatibility table, it should work. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. This post states otherwise, but I cannot reconcile it with the compatibility table stated above.

- I've successfully loaded code onto it, and I've seen printing log information. It hangs when it calls ble_stack_init().

- I have a PCA10040 with a revision 2, and the application runs as expected.

- I'm aware of some anomalies fixed from these two revisions, so I'm willing to go back to an earlier SDK version/softdevice if required.

Thanks in advance!

Luis.

Hey guys, 

I was skimming over the files to dig into alternative causes and found the answer for stucking in ble_stack_init():

The project was configured to have the Softdevice clock be the external low-power crystal, when that hardware did not have it. I just changed it to be the RC and now it runs as expected (from the same SDK version). I took the idea from here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../sdk14-ble_periphal-example-dont-work

I hope this helps somebody anytime.
