Write services to nRF 8001

I have nRF 8001 BLE chip.First i want to know will this chip contains any Firmware i.e it has its services and characteristic or not? And i want to write my own Services and characteristic then i have to use nRFGo Studio. How to use this software in writing own Services? I am googling it for a long time but did not find any answer. Please tell the step by step answer.

And if i have to write services then i have to connect nRF8001 chip to computer so that i can load my services to it. Then how to connect nRF 8001 to computer? I googled this also but did not find the exact answer. Can anyone help me in doing this? Thanks

  • The nRF8001 does not have its own Services or Characteristics. The Services and Characteristics are created using nRFgo studio, see the below links for details.

    The webinar posted here should get you pointed in the right direction on using nRFgo studio.

    You can take a look at this reply that explains how to use the nRFgo studio to create your own Services and Characteristics and use it with the nRF8001.

  • This webinar is good but it does not tell how to write own services and characteristic. It just told me how to run setup.bat file or upload .xml in nrfgo studio and the generate services.h. But my question how to create that xml file.I have only nRF 8001 with no xml and i want to write its services and characteristic then how i will do this? Because you said nRF 8001 does not have its own Services or Characteristics. The Services and Characteristics are created using nRFgo studio and exactly i want to how to studio to create its own services and characteristic.

    Can you tell me how to create setup.bat file? is it created by nrfgo studio because when i run .bat file it creates the services.h file, but how to make setup.bat file?

    How to create that .xml file also? Does nrfgo studio creates that xml file?

    I really stuck at this as i have bought you nRF 8001 chips but i am not able to write their services and characteristic and therefore not able to use it with arduino. Help me out!!!

  • Can you look at this webex webinar to get started with nRFgo studio. The initial introduction discusses about the nRF8001 and the usage of nRFgo studio.

    You should read this reply on how the nRF8001, nRFgo studio, the setup batch files and the services.h are related.
