Firmware modification from nRF51422 to nRF51822

Hi,

I want to write a firmware for one of our products with on nRF51822 QFAC included. I downloaded the SDK v7.2.0 and I want to use the ble app hrs project as a starting point, which is made for a nRF51422 xxAC device . I am using Eclipse Mars with GCC, my question is the following :

Which modifications do I have to do to make the project compatible with nRF51822, in particular concerning the makefile ?

Best regards,

Guillaume

  • Why did you go with SDK v7.2.0? You really should go to SDK 11. It's the latest released version, and a lot has changed since 7; If you're starting a new project, you really don't want the headache of trying to upgrade directly from 7-11, especially since the interfaces majorly changed by SDK 9. Also, the examples in SDK 11 include Makefile examples; and besides changing 51422 -> 51822, you really don't need to change anythign at all. (and you really dont' even need to change that if you don't want to).

  • Thank you for your answer. I used to write my previous firmwares with mbed and soft device S110 v7.3.0, so to keep this softdeviceversion I cannot use the SDK v11. Honnestly I am a beginner in Nordic SoC so I don't really know what implies the fact of updating SDK and softdevice versions... By "besides changin 51422->51822", you mean replacing the pattern "51422" by "51822" where it appears in the different files of the project ?
