How to load a SoftDevice on nRF51822-mKIT

[Erik Larson]

There is no documentation for the nRF51822-mKIT. How do I load the SoftDevice?

If you are using the mbed examples, you don't have to worry about the SoftDevice since it is included in the .hex files that are generated by the compiler online. You simple flash the .hex file and press the reset button on the board to start executing. Every time the SD will be included to avoid versioning issues with the code.

Try the BLE_HeartRate example here and it should generate everything you need: mbed.org/.../

To clarify, I don't want to use the mbed platform. I already have working software for the EK/DK. I want to use it with the cheaper mKIT. Using IAR toolchain. I converted the SoftDevice .hex file into a .bin and linked it with the application, but it Hard Faults. Ideas?

Would the SD be the equivalent of the 110 V6?, or the new 110V7 alpha? How do I import my projects that I was working on Keil?

Thanks,

Currently this is V6.x. To use the code in keil you will have to export your files as a zip file and then import them into keil (at least for the time beeing).
