Trying to make a simple iBeacon with nRF52832 module

Hello. 

I'm trying to make very simple iBeacon. So, I modified an example of  'ble_app_beacon'.

Things what I have done are below

1. wrote J-Link OB-SAM3U128-V2-NordicSemi 170724.bin to nRF52832 module via 'J-Flash Lite V6.88a'.

2. Modified some codes like below. (To make utilize the internal clock and make iphone catch the signal.)

sdk_config.h

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_SRC 0

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_CTIV 16

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_RC_TEMP_CTIV 2 

#define NRF_SDH_CLOCK_LF_ACCURACY 1

Main.c 

#define APP_COMPANY_IDENTIFIER          0x004C

My expectation is below.

And my nRF52832 module is MDBT42Q which manufactured by Raytec.

It is extremely simple just like a pic below. (To write programs and so on, I've done with J-LINK EDU MINI.

   

Is there anybody have made some thing like this???

Best Regards,

Shigeto

     This is the FW for the onboard JLink on the nRF5 DK, and should not/can't be flashed to the nRF52832.

    The connections from the JLink to the module should be SWDIO, SWDCLK, Vref and GND. Then you should be able to flash the beacon FW.

    Not sure if you are seeing any issues, or if your application runs fine, based on the description.
