tested UART_C and Beacon for NRF52833

[Muhammad Usman]

HI All team Members !

Hope you all doing well ! . Yesterday , i have tested the two SDK's "ble_app_uart_c" as a BLE Beacons Scanner and "ble_app_beacon" as a BLE Beacon transmitter . I followed the following link .

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/40365/how-to-use-ble_gap_phy_coded-in-ble_app_beacon-example/157628#157628

As "ble_app_beacon" example was written for NRF52840 so for porting to NRF52833 i used the following link . Which worked perfectly !

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/57816/ble_app_beacon-not-available-for-pca10100/234466#234466

Now issue is that after doing the above steps ,when i have seen the data on serial Monitor @115200 baud rate .i was continoulsy getting "BLEBLEBLEBLE"  on Beacons Scanner / "ble_app_uart_c" output .

And Beacon Transmitter Window nothing displayed after "Beacon example started.."  startup message .

Can you please help me in this regard ?

Thanks in Advance ,

Best Regards

Muhammad Usman

Hi Muhammad,

Can you upload your two projects so that I can have a look?

[Muhammad Usman]

Hi Einar Thorsrud !

Thank you for the reply ! Let me share you all my findings.

I have few observations with screen shots . I also attached the original project files as well .

SDK version is 17.0.2

And IDE I am using is Segger Embedded studio

I have made changes according to following link.

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/40365/how-to-use-ble_gap_phy_coded-in-ble_app_beacon-example/157628#157628

Here is the BLE_APP_BEACON_PCA10100_S140 ,after the changes made according to the above mentioned link .

 

Output on the Docklight is : system resets again and again

________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is the ble_app_uart_c_pca10100_s122,after the changes made according to the above mentioned link .

Output on the Docklight is : Sending BLE continuously  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                         In Second Step 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after making 2nd changes in “ BLE_APP_BEACON_PCA10100_S140”

Output on the Docklight is:

_____________________________________________________________________________________

 

Here is the ble_app_uart_c_pca10100_s122, after 2nd Change

Output on the Docklight is

____________________________________________________________________________________

I have attached the "main.c" for the BLE_APP_BEACON_PCA10100_S140

&

"nrf_ble_scan.c" for the  ble_app_uart_c_pca10100_s122

i made changes to the above mentioned files only according the the link mentioned at the top
