ble_app_uart won't advertise as coded from example set

[Alexandre Tessier]

Hello, I am currently trying to program the uart example code from the nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad zip file. After dealing with various reference address and device package issues, I am now able to flash the softdevice and progam sets to the chip. However, the chip is not advertising and it does work with the premade hex file. At this point I have no idea what could be wrong, the only noticible difference between the hex file layout in nRF Connect and the flashed softdevice and code from Kiel 5 is shown in the attached image, with hex file on the left covers the register address from 0 to 0x0001E3F7 while the flashed program from Keil goes from 0 to 0x0001E3FF. Other than that the recovery error is shown in the command window, but this occured even for the hex file which would advertise so I am unsure how to proceed.

Hi Alexandre

No, these should both be the same project, just with and without the SofDevice according to the documentation. I just tested this on my nRF51422 DK, and the LEDs blink when using both .hex files on my end. Do you remember to do an "Erase and Write" instead of just writing? If you just overwrote the existing application, that might have caused trouble.

Best regards,

Simon

I had verified and it did not work even with erase and write, I even erased the chip, read to verify and then did it again, still same issue.

(EDIT) Never mind, redid again, seems to be fine, so must have missed something.

That's great to hear. Can we close this case then, or do you have further issues?

Best regards,

Simon

Hello Simon,

Apologies, this was just to address the blinky issue, will let you know if the advertising issue I was haveing is resolved. So not quite yet.

Sincerely,
