nRF51822 EV Board BLE400

[jimmy.kim]

I bought a EV board below to develop in the nRF51822 (www.wvshare.com/.../BLE400.htm)

I have installed all necessary tools like Keil MDK-ARM, J-Link, nRF51 SDK and nRFgo Studio. But I couldn't flash with Keil MDK-ARM due to error "No J-Link device found" and it can not connect to device with nRFgo.

Is there any guide to use BLE400 board and any information about supported tool chains(Keil, JLink, nRF51 SDK, nRFgo) version?

Do you have an external debugger connected to the board? There is no debugger on the BLE400 board, so you need an external one (something like this: www.segger.com/jlink-lite-cortexm.html).

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, www.wvshare.com/.../NRF51822-Eval-Kit.htm, they have listed one they recommend.

On the bottom of this page, www.wvshare.com/.../BLE400.htm, you find the download for demo codes, datasheet, etc. Maybe you find a guide in there.

If you get yourself a J-Link, you can use the BLE400 board as an nRF51 DK, and use the nRF51 SDK with Keil, nRFgo studio etc.

Hey. I looked at the datasheet for the CP2102 "Debugger". It is a UART->USB chip, not a debugger. The only thing it can do is allow you to print from the UART of the nRF51 to the COM port of your PC. ( This is the chip that makes the EVkit appear in your device manager) Unfortunately, you will need a JLINK like Stian said, in order to program the nRF51 chip. I think the store should make customers aware of this in the product information page. I dont see it mentioned anywhere in the user guide either.
