Thanks RK. You're right about the SDK 6.1.0. I'll get blinky up and running with the old SDK and then report back when I've got the board working with the new SDK.

I think you're actually using the nrf51822 development kit user guide 1.4. That's the older dev kit with the revision 2 chipset on it and the SDKs from 7.0 onwards now ship with projects for the new nRF51-DK and nrf51-dongle and not for the older kits. One reason for that is the compatibility matrix lists SDK 6.1.0 as the last one compatible.

However the latest SDKs can be used with the revision 2 boards. The instructions for doing so are in the documentation for the SDK under "Getting Started", "Using the SDK with other boards". It's mostly changing a define for the right board and choosing a different linker map.

If you just want to get started using published instructions, how about downloading SDK 6.1 and following that through to get blinky working and the first couple of BTLE projects working, then when you have an understanding about how the tools and the chip work, move to a more recent SDK and make the couple of changes needed to use it.
