Hi,

You may have used a build of only the connectivity firmware, but without the SoftDevice. In that case you would need to program the SoftDevice as well.

Also, please make sure you erase flash on the device before programming the connectivity firmware, since remaints in flash (especially in the UICR page) may cause issues.

From your other reply I assume you got it working. The above tips are for if others with similar issues see this thread in the future.

Thanks. Setup has started working now. After flashing the same image from NRF Connect. with 1m baud rate softdevice controller.

I have few more doubts

My hardware works fine when i build an application and tested using NRF Mobile APP.

Here i assume that the hardware is fine. When it comes to "NRF Soft device build with serialize" there is no response from the softdevice.

Do we need to have any special jumper settings with "NRF Softdevice serializer"?

I have tried flashing the image using nrf connect. Attempted with 115k2 baud rate image (this was given as solution in one of the earlier ticket).

I have been struggling to bring up this setup.

Is it possible to provide the working solution as zip file (pc-ble-api-py with correct firmware).

I am trying this on a windows machine.

Hi,

The connectivity_4.1.4_1m_with_s132_5.1.0.hex is the connectivity firmware for using 1m baud on the uart. (The "1m" part fo the name represents the baud.) In other words, the flashed firmware should be correct.

Since pc-ble-driver is also used for the nRF Connect for Desktop BLE app, you could try launching that one (and accepting programming the connectivity firmware for it) to confirm there is not something else wrong. You can then try the pc-ble-driver-py example, which should work without re-flashing the connectivity firmware (provided the API version used is the same.)
