Connection problem Nrf51822 Smart beacon kit and ST-LINK V2 (serial communication problem)

[Matheus Xavier]

I have a nRF51822 smart beacon kit and a ST-LINK V2. I read the documentation found on nordic's website, downloaded all the programs that the documentation requested etc. Unfortunately I can not connect to it on the computer, I can not establish a communication to continue with the documentation and schedule. What am I doing wrong ? what do you do to get a communication with the computer through the serial? Is it the lack of the J-LINK cable? I am using a prototyping and the ST-LINK V2 adapter as mentioned above. Looking forward to an answer. Thank you

Hi,

What kind of communication are you talking about? Are you able to program your beacon at all? Or are you talking about UART serial com?

Hi, Serial communication. So far I have not yet been able to program my beacon, I would recommend a beginner tutorial

You don't use serial communication to program the nRF5. You use Serial Wire Debugging (SWD). Is your ST-LINK V2 registered by your computer at all? How are you trying to program your device?
