Build a custom BLE service and enable the write attribute
Configure the characteristic "attr_char_value.max_len = MAX_LEN";
max_len should be larger than your device name
In the BLE event handler, read back the data like bel...

I connected the programming header as described in "nRF6930_Beacon_Ref_Design_UG_v1.0.pdf" 5.5.4 Programming interface. I was trying to program Beacon Kit but failed many times then I compared it with schematic of of Beacon Kit. I found out...
Hi,
I have written SD & SDHC card routine for reading, writing and erasing data from SD card. It used the hardware SPI of nRF51822.
NOTE:
1)Define the PINs of SD card first before initialing.
2)Define MOSI, MISO and SCK pins only, define the ...
There are several types of write operations, write request with authorization, write request without authorization and write command. You can see message sequence charts for those messages here and here.
Write command is a write without acknowledgem...
Here is an example of a hardware setup to measure the voltage on a Lithium battery with a voltage divider and a connected capacitor. The Lithium battery typically has a voltage range of 2.7 - 4.2 V and we (Nordic) recommend that you divide the batter...
I've put up on Sourceforge, a Mac OSX application which interfaces with the Nordic BTLE sniffer software and has some of the functionality of the Windows application Nordic ships with that software package. Features include

Update: Since this blog was originally written the nrfjprog tool has been ported to OS X (now macOS). This means that the flash programming is much simpler, and it is simply a matter of following the documentation for the tool. Also, nRF Toolbox for ...
Em::Blocks supports now the nRF51 devices from Nordic. You can select in the new project wizard which device family (51422 or 51822) and if soft devices are needed or not.
The templates for the softdevices are empty after first installation. The ...
Since I wrote about CrossWorks a few weeks ago, several people have mailed me and asked me if I have any sample projects. I didn't, so I just created some.
I've created projects which build blinky_example and ble_app_hrs for each of the three boards...

You may have a nRF51 chip that is "bricked" and both nRFGo Studio and nrfjprog recover option doesn't work. You can try to use J-link Commander to recover. In some case, J-link Commander showed that it can recover the chip when nrfjprog and...
I created this blog post to document the bugs reported on nRF51 SDK v6.0.0
The workaround for each bug would also be provided here as a temporary solution before the bug is fixed in the future release of the SDK.
