What should I do to get nrf51-ble-app-lbs-throughput-test-5.2.0 working with PCA10028 v1.1.0 board ?

[smuniraj]

I have followed the instructions and have tried with s110 6.0.0 and SDK 5.2. I can compile and download to the board but can never detect under discoverable device onn MCP running on a PC? Is it not advertising ? Please suggest the necessary modification for the program to run on this board. I also see this branch is couple of commits behind the master code. Can you please update it ?

Hi smuniraj

Yes, you are correct. The throughput test is for an old SDK which is not targeted at the PCA10028. We will try to update it soon. Meanwhile, I suspect it should work if you get the SDKv8.0 branch to work on your board and then just copy the data_send() function from the throughput test into the SDKv8.0 code and call it in the same way as in the button_event_handler

Update 31.8.2015 I have managed to port the ble_app_lbs throughput example to SDK 8.0.0 and measure around the theoretical maximum throughput on my side. Check if you can get the same on your side.

You should get 128 kbps if receiving 6 packets per connection interval, 20 bytes per packet and the connection interval is 7.5 seconds, i.e. 0.0075^-1 * 20 * 8 * 6 = 128.000. Do you see in your test how many bytes are received per packet and if there are 6 packets received per connection interval?
