serialized example missing in nrf5 SDK

[bollstabruk]

I can not find any  serialized example for an application board  in the nrf5 SDK, where can I find the "ser_s13x_transport" folder?

"In Keil, open one of the serialized example projects. The serialized version is located in the ser_s13x_transport folder."

nrf5 SDK 17.1.0

Hi,

The "s13x" part of the folder means you should replace the x with a specific SoftDevice. So for instance S140 or S132, and "transport" is for instance "spi" or "uart". If using a nRF52832 for instance and test with a DK, you probably want to use S132.  In that case and you want UART, the path to the Keil project is: <SDK>/examples/connectivity/ble_connectivity/pca10040/ser_s132_uart/arm5_no_packs/. This is for the connctivity firmware.

For the (few) example applications that come with support for serializtaion out of the box, the naming scheme is similar. For instance, you have a project under <SDK>/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_hrs/pca10040/ser_s132_uart/arm5_no_packs/ that can be used together with the mentioned connectivity firmware project.

Thanks for a fast answer!

Your "nRF Connect for DeskTop"/"Bluetooth Low Energy" software seems to make use uart serialize, what firmware does this software download to the develop board? 

Is the source code for "Bluetooth Low Energy" available?

You can find the source code for nRF Connect Bluetooth Low Energy on GitHub. This uses the pc-ble-driver under the hood, which includes a connectivity firmware that is based on the connectivity firmware in the SDK, but with quite a few additional patches.
