help in setting up nrf2740 - nrf8001 using arduino

[Chintan Raikar]

Hello,

I am a newbie in in using BLE and exploring the nrf8001 DK. I was able to flash PCA 10000 module with updated firmware and it was detected in the master control panel as well. However, the nrf8001 module that comes with nrf2740 is not detected.

here is what I did to set the hardware of nrf2740:

1. connected arduino uno with nrf 8001 adapter shield
2. secondly, connected the nrf2740 module in the slot provided.
3. flashed the arduino with latest sdk project ble_uart_project_template
4. tried connecting via nrfGoStudio/ Master control panel.

Both do not detect the motherboard nrf2740. Am I missing anything in the settings or I have got a faulty product ?

Can you flash the nRF2740 from the master control panel with the "Nordic Semiconductor\Master Control Panel<version of Master Control Panel>\firmware\nRF2739\mdhspi.0.9.15536.ehex" , this hex file is available in the Master control Panel installation folder. Let me know how this goes.

Hi David,

The problem I face is Master Control Panel is not able to detect my evaluation board of nrf2740. When I click on scan for devices the master emulator chip does starts the scan, but it is not able to find my nrf2740 board. I am using a arduino UNO that is flashed with the lates sample code of blr communication. Over that we have a nordic semiconduuctor adapter for arduino which is connected to nrf 2740 module. Please suggest where is the underlying problem.
