RE: Running Template app on pca20006 Beacon

The root problem turned out to be that bsp_init() was failing when it was initializing button handlers. The 10031 Dongle which I had working has BUTTON_NUMBERS 0 in the board file while the beacon 20006 board file has 2 defined. This in turn fails on the beacon because GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS was set to one but needs to be two for the two beacon buttons. When the 2nd button was initialized an error would be generated.

To recap, I was able to get the Template app to run on the beacon after changing the following:

Changing board to BOARD_PCA20006 in the C/C++ Settings
Changing the ROM Start to 0x1600 to match the s110 in the beacon and RAM to 0x20002000.
#define GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS 2 in nrf_brd_config.h
Init the SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT as follows in ble_stack_init()

#if defined(BOARD_PCA20006)
	    SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_50_PPM, NULL);
#elif defined(BOARD_PCA10028)
    SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_XTAL_20_PPM, NULL);
#elif defined(BOARD_PCA10031)
    SOFTDEVICE_HANDLER_INIT(NRF_CLOCK_LFCLKSRC_RC_250_PPM_4000MS_CALIBRATION, NULL);
#endif
