Running the ble_app_beacon example with s130 softdevice

[TJ]

Hi,

I am attempting to get the ble_app_beacon example working with the s130 softdevice instead of the s110. I am using armgcc and the v8 sdk softdevice headers on a pca10031 dongle. I have the example working fine as it comes with the sdk.

Simply replacing the s110 with the s130 and changing the linker script accordingly, does not appear to work out of the box. Is there something special I need to do, like tell the s130 to operate in a peripheral role rather than central? Or am I missing something else?

I found the problem - the S130 is larger and although I had changed the link script I was writing my code to 0x18000 which overwrites some of the softdevice. Writing my code to 0x1d000 fixes the problem and now it does in fact work out of the box.
