Ble_app_Blinky not

[Tikull]

I have downloaded the ble_app_blinky_c_pca10056_s140 hex file to the development kit with the help of the nrf_connect windows application. I have a PCA10100 development kit. Now when I am searching this advertising device from the blinky or nrf_connect android application, the "NRF_Blinky" does not show. I have checked the development kit LED1 is constant on, and thought that the device is already advertising. So, suggest to me what can go wrong.

The "_pca10056_" in the file name means that the file is for a PCA10056 board

so that's not going to work!

But I think there is no hex file available for PCA10100, and I read in one of the Q&A that the pca10056 has similar features as PCA10100, and therefore this might work. But please show me which SDK and application combination can be used in this case.

Right now, when I am not getting any linker error, I have only changed the configuration from PCA10056 to PA10100 in ble_app_blinkx_c_pca10056_s140. But there is no LED indication on LED 1 for advertising status. What could go wrong?

For the preprocessor defines you now have BOARD_PCA10100 and NRF52833_XXAA, and not the nRF52840/PCA10056 ones? If so it should work.

Have you tried to debug? I would start with making a debug build (just select Debug in the build configuration dropdown if using SES) and check the log when running. Does it report any errors?

Also, if you are using another toolchain than SES it does not program the SoftDevice automatically, so please double check that you have programmed it.

Yes, it displays the error "stopped by vector catch"

I followed this link for the error. https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/72128/stopped-by-vector-catch-when-debugging-ses-52840-project-modified-for-52833 Now the scanning LED is on. But still unable to find this DK on the android app.

You are using the central project (ble_app_blinky_c), so the phone cannot see this as it does not advertise (only scans). To be able to find it from the phone you must use the peripheral example (ble_app_blinky - not there is no _c in the end). This will advertise, and the phone should be able to detect the advertisements and connect to it.
