I'm trying to upload ble_app_beacon example from SDK 9.0.0 to a beacon board (PCA20006) after successfully uploading it to a DK board (PCA10028).
My first step was to connect the beacon to nRF51-DK using a Tag-connect cable, erase the memory using nRFgo studio and upload S110 (s110_softdevice.hex from C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_SoftDevice_S110\8.0.2\hex).
I'm rather intrigued that nRFgo studio showed the S110 softdevie as 8.0.0 instead of 8.0.02.
Anyway, the second step was trying to modify the ble_app_beacon code from PCA10028 to PCA20006 in Keil. I made a few modifications in Flash > Configure flash tools
- Device: to nRF51822xxAA
- C/C++: use BOARD_PCA20006
- Target: ROM (start=0x18000; size=0x40000); RAM (start=0x20000000; size=0x8000); Xtal=16.0
- Debug: J-Link/J-TRACE Cortex
I received two errors when building the project.
compiling nrf_drv_gpiote.c...
C:\Keil_v5\ARM\PACK\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Drivers\3.0.1\gpiote\nrf_drv_gpiote.c(43): error: #20: identifier "GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS" is undefined
nrf_drv_gpiote_evt_handler_t handlers[NUMBER_OF_GPIO_TE+GPIOTE_CONFIG_NUM_OF_LOW_POWER_EVENTS];

".\_build\nrf51422_xxac_s110.axf" - 2 Error(s), 0 Warning(s).
If I left the device to nRF51422, the error would not appear. I found that there were two different nrf_drv_gpiote.h, one for nRF51422 and the other nRF51822. In nrf_drv_gpiote.h for nRF51422,
#define GPIOTE_ENABLED 1
But in nrf_drv_gpiote.h for nRF51822,
#define GPIOTE_ENABLED 0
When I tried to build using nRF51422 as the device and uploaded the app, the beacon could not be detected by the nRF master control panel on an Android phone. Its LED did not blink either.
What steps have I missed?
