nrf51822 rev 3 chip only scanable in usb dongle(pca10000)

Hi.

I use nrf51822 rev.3 build number CEAAE00(0x0079) package is WLCSP. Before I got a experience already develop wearable device using rev.1 chip. And that board work perfect with dongle and smartphone.

Recently I changed my ic rev.1(QFN) to rev.3(WLCSP) and Softdevice 8 and SDK is v8.1.0. and then this chip is work properly with USB Dongle(PCA10000). but not work(not scanable) with smartphone(Android and also iphone).

how can i scan my device in smartphone?

Summarize..

  • recently changed SD 5.2.1 to SD 8
  • also change sdk 5 to 8.1.0
  • chip revision change 1 to 3
  • scan and connect working with dongle
  • but not scan in smartphone(iphone, android) also not connectable
  • also example(sdk\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart) that include in sdk is not work too.

  • Hi wooseok,

    Which software I should use to open your sniffer trace data ? If possible please capture a trace with our sniffer.

    Your rev 3 chip is with 16kB RAM, you may need to modify the project setting of the SDK examples because they were made for the nRF51422 QFAC which has 32kB RAM.

    Which app did you use on iOS and Android to scan for devices ? Have you tried the nRF Master Control Panel app on Android ?
