BLE Advertising, a beginner's tutorial

Chocol8

Hello everyone,

Lately I have been struggling while trying to run "BLE Advertising, a beginner's tutorial". My hardware consists of NRF51822 and PCA1000 dongle. I use SDK_11.0.0 and the example provided at github github.com/.../nrf51-ble-tutorial-advertising . I copy the folder "nrf5x-ble-tutorial-advertising" to "your_SDK_folder\examples\ble_peripheral". main.c file is found in the folder "your_SDK_folder\examples\ble_peripheral\nrf5x-ble-tutorial-advertising" like in tutorial said.

After that I change memory options to this: image description

Keil compiles it without errors or warnings: image description

Lastly, Master Control Panel can not find my "HelloWorld" device: image description

Moreover, I have tried the modified BLE_UART application of my colegue 's with the same tools and the device was found by the Master Conrol Panel software.

Any ideas what may be causing the problem? I would appreciate your help.

...EDITED:

While debugging the code stucks at this point: image description image description

    Hi,

    I assume that you remembered to program the softdevice since you get the uart example to work? Have you tried debugging like this? Do you get any errors?

    First of all, thank you for helping me. You are right, I did programmed the softdevice into the board, just forgot to mention that. In addition to this, I have checked "options for target" they were same as in the link you provided. Moreover, I tried to debugg the code. The code ends in while loop as shown in the link (defined in app_error.c). So, to make it clear for me I should print the error? I believe that it would be the easiest way "set a break in keil debugger and break at the line error is generated and find out what error code is". I know it might sound too simple, but how and where should I put a breakpoint to get that information?

    I would like to add more to this topic. I have also tried to run "BLE Services, a beginner's tutorial". Unfortunately, I was not lucky. The same problem occured once again. Code stopps at the app_error.c while loop and Master Control Panel is unaible to detect my board.

    If you can read out the values shown in the image below, that should give us a clue. image description

    Error code looks like this: link text I get this error in BLE service tutorial link text also, I tried to comment the while loop where code stucks, then code ends up in here: link text
