cannot find ble_ant_app_hrm example on the software pack installer

[Antonio]

Hello , I am doing a new Keil project to run concurrently ANT for messagging exchange and Bluetooth LE for advertising. On KEIL pack Installer I cannot find the example ble_ant_app_hrm that from other threads in the forum I understood is the one that is running concurrently ANT and Bluetooth LE using S310 SoftDevice . I don't know where the example is or how to add it on the pack installer. I tried updating the pack installer from the menu Update both it didn't arrive the example. Could you help me ?

Hi, sorry I am new to this system , so please if you could tell me when I get wrong :

1. download the SDK 7.2.0 from developer.nordicsemi.com/.../ downloaded the _packs.zip file.
2. launched the install.bat, select "N", all ok, finished installing.
3. on Keil , doing a new project for a Nordic chip 51422AC , now I can see in the options for target->device that the current SDK packs used is 7.2.1.
4. on "select software packs" I can see NordicSemiconductor::nRF_Examples but I can only select if to use 8.1.1, 8.0.0 , 7.2.0, I don't see here an install or anything else similar of what you wrote to me . So maybe I am at the wrong place. Where is the packs tab you are referring to ?
5. on the packs installer I cannot see the example name "ble_ant_app_hrm" on the example list where I think there is the list of all the examples ready to copy by pressing the "copy" button on the correspondent row. Here I can see for example the blinky example, or the ant relay example, etc. Under the "packs" tab here I can see the NordicSemiconductor::nRF_Examples version 7.2.0 is already installed and I can only choose to remove it. under the "previous" I can see I can install 7.1.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.0.

searching on the disk I found on this path C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Examples\7.2.0\multiprotocol\experimental_ble_ant_app_hrm\pca10028\s310\arm5 the prj files and so I can manually copy it . Is this ok? Please can you confirm that the ANT+BLE concurrent function is fully and officially supported by Nordic ? thanks

Hi,

ANT+BLE concurrent is supported.

If you want to use packs architecture I suggest you use the Pack Installer like described in this tutorial.

It is also possible to use a more classic .zip architecture. Download the zip architecture for SDK 7.2 here. Extract the folder and navigate to "..\nRF51_SDK_7.2.0_cf547b5\examples\multiprotocol\experimental_ble_ant_app_hrm\pca10028\s310\arm". Launch the project file, and you will be good to go.
