Arduino encryption nRF51822

[Henrik M.]

Hi there!

I use RedBearLabs Nano (nRF51822) for at setup where I've developed BLE code in Arduino to communicate with apps on both iOS and Android.

Now I need to ensure the communication with encryption.

I've read these to threads for encrypting stuff with nRF51822:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

I'm not sure how to use your C-based SDK from the Arduino environment - can you please enlighten me?

If this is not possible or advisable, can you please tell me which environment you'll recommend for OSX? I've looked at both mbed, CrossStudio for ARM and tried to use the stand alone GCC compiler (so far no luck - I seem to be missing the make files from the SDK 9 download). But no options is as easy to use as Arduino.

Or perhaps Bluetooth Developer Studio Beta is the way forward (and where do I get my hands on that)?

Looking forward to hearing your reply, hoping that you can tell me that using your SDK from Arduino is easy! :)

Best regards, Henrik, Denmark

Hi Henrik,

I'm not very familiar with the RedBearLab nRF51822 Library for Arduino and how you can have AES encryption with the library. However, I don't see any reason that board should not work with the nRF51 SDK provided by us.

You can follow this guide.

GCC is fully supported with our current SDK (from SDK v8.0) , make sure you have matched the GNU_INSTALL_ROOT in Makefile.windows at \components\toolchain\gcc with your GNU installation. You mentioned that you missed the makefile from the SDK, could you tell me more about that ? The makefile is at each example project folder in armgcc.

Make sure you have downloaded the latest SDK from here.
