How to add Bluetooth in an empty project?

[Venus_Bilandi]

I am using a nRF52840 with "SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM 5.10a" and "nRF5_SDK_17.0.0_9d13099" sdk.

Hi,

The general recommendation is to start from an SDK example. Several libraries, drivers and SDK configurations needs to included for the Softdevice to work properly. It's therefore better to start from an SDK example, for example the ble_template project.

best regards

Yes, I do understand. I also think it is a better way. But I am at the completion of my project and I need Bluetooth support in my project and at this stage it will be faster for me to add Bluetooth in it rather than vice versa.

So, Can you guide me in how to do so?

 Not so sure about that

For starters, you could compare your project with for example the ble_blinky example and add everything that is related to the softdevice and is missing from your project. The diff function in VS Code would help you alot with this. 

Good luck

I thought so and did the same and already have added the files but I used the example "ble_app_uart".

But I think it can't find softdevice.

Because when I run code in debug mode as of in screenshot it can't enable softdevice and goes into exception handler.

I found on the forum that first I have to upload a softdevice on the controller. which I understand too.

and I am using nRFgo for that but it says.

any way around this?

nRFgo is deprecated, use nRF Connect Programmer app instead.
