SoftDevice s140 5 nRF52840 Preview DK Issues

[rjones1951]

Hello,

I am trying to migrate to the latest S140 SoftDevice, but the migration document leaves a lot to be desired and is missing information. I've had issues running standard applications with s140_nrf52840_5.0.0-3.alpha where it just hangs in middle of nowhere (classic incompatibility between application and softdevice).

I've updated the API from the zip fie and am unable to compile. For example, BLE_GAP_ADV_MAX_SIZE is not defined but is not mentioned anywhere in the document.

The document says "sd_ble_enable() should be used to find the APP_RAM_BASE for a particular configuration" but no information on how to do this.

Can Nordic provide an actual working release with this softdevice or information on how to migrate?

FYI, some of my compile issues werewresolved when copying ble_adv_data.c from the mtu example. There's some conflict that ADV_AD_TYPE_FIELD_SIZE may have been renamed and a few others

Glad you figured it out. I recommend using the example that is included in the SoftDevice zip first. I don't think how you determine the starting point of application RAM has changed with this version. Try examining the SDK examples. There are also a few other threads in here explaining. Like this.

Hi Petter: The issue is not resolved. I still face multiple code conflicts and the code will not compile.

Hi Petter: I am getting an error looking for "softdevice_handler.h". Any idea?

Have you tried the example that is included in the SoftDevice zip? Have you read the readme included to see how to use the example? I don't really know what you are doing, or exactly what errors you are getting. Seems your project is not able to find the SoftDevice handler library, is the include path correct?
