Bluetooth developer studio and nrF51 plugin

[manuj]

I use the software 1.0.1.478.0 release. Is it functional with V1.0.4 plugin ? When I generated the following message code is displayed :

" Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 plugin plugin has caused a runtime error"

The older plug-in will not work and cannot be used. A new release of the plugin must be made to make the BDS usable. I would recommend that you use our getting started tutorial with the nRF51-DK , the BLE-UART tutorial and the LED button demo application note to get started with the nRF51-DK and learn how to create new Characteristics and Services.

Edit: There is no public timeframe for the update but it will be updated. I would suggest that you skip the BDS and get started on the SDK for nRF5x , as even if you wait for the update you will still need to understand the SDK. My advice would be spend the time on the SDK and get started on it. The LED button application note will help you getting started and this will not be wasted time.

Edit: New plugin v1.1.6 is now available for the nRF5x series at https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF51_bluetooth_development_studio_plugin/

Do you have any idea when an update might be available? (If the time frame is unknown, can you at least post an update to this thread when it's posted?)
