Confirmed, this was the problem. Thanks!

Thanks, I think that was it. The chip is 51822 QFAA, thus 16kb or RAM. I'll test later today.

It would be nice if we'd have a single Makefile for all boards/chips, and you could select the board/chip by changing a variable in the Makefile. Or have a separate Makefile just for valiables:

example_dir/Makefile

example_dir/boardxxx/s110/armgcc/Makefile <- just variables.

example_dir/boardxxx/blank/armgcc/Makefile <- just variables.

example_dir/boardyyy/blank/armgcc/Makefile <- just variables.

Where does it fail? Are you able to compile but it does not run, or does it not compile at all? If so, do you get any error messages? The pca10001 uses the rev2 nrf51822_xxaa chip. I think the makefile compiles for nrf51422_xxac as default. You can try to change this. Use the linker script nrf51_xxaa.ld

Well, there are a lot of changes from SDK6 to 7 then to 8. Blank blinky shouldn't be a problem. The examples are for nRF51422 32KB ram, so you need to adjust LD. For BLE, app starts at 0x18000. Softdevice initialization also changed. Some of the changed are mentioned in this blog.
