ble_app_hrs_s110_pca10028 example

I'm just getting started with the nRF51 DK. I've successfully "passed" the blinky test and I'm now trying to test the HRT example (ble_app_hrs_s110_pca10028). I found another post (titled "ble_app_hrs_s110_pca10028-not-working!") that sounded similar, but I've gone through all of the issues mentioned in that post and still no luck. I've tried flashing the s110 softdevice using both nRFgo and Keil (both seem to be successful, although when looking at the flash in nRFgo, both regions show "Region 1", whereas when when flashing with nRFgo, it shows Region 0 and Region 1; not sure if that's a problem, but it seems strange, and either way, the example app won't run).

I'm not entirely sure how to verify what version of the SDK I'm using (as mentioned in the other post), although I just downloaded it from the Nordic website, so I assume I have v8.0.0); how can I make sure?

Beyond that, what's next to try? My symptoms are that all compile and flash operations work normally, but the nRF51 doesn't enter the advertising state (initially or after pressing either button), as noted in the example documentation.

  • I'm not sure what is happening, but download nRF51_SDK_9.0.0_2e23562.zip from here. Unzip it.

    1. Open nRFgo Studio
    2. Select the correct Segger and click Erase all
    3. Click the Program SoftDevice tab then browse to components\softdevice\s110\hex
    4. Open ble_app_hrs_s110_pca10028 in \examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs\pca10028\s110\arm5_no_packs
    5. Compile, select the correct Segger ID in Options for Target->Utilites->Settings->Debug->SN:
    6. Download
    7. Now it should advertise and LED1 should be blinking.
  • Thanks Petter-san. BTW, I am using Keil MDK-Lite Version 5.16a, so did not use zip installer, but used PACK. Anyway, so far for my objective, pca10031 HEX is OK, as no button function required. If PACK or ZIP cause the difference, it can be another clue. For another idle time, should I set-up older version of MDK to use ZIP installer ?

    Thanks again from Japan
