For details on how to set up the UART with flow control, see the nRF51 Series Reference Manual. Page 26 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6 Flash programming and application development The nRF51822 chip is shipped without pre-programmed software. This gives you the option of developing your application directly onto the chip or alternatively, by using our S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice, which is a Bluetooth low energy peripheral protocol stack solution. For more information, see the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice Specification. In this chapter we describe how to program and erase the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice or another application HEX file on the nRF51822 chip. If you want to start developing on the nRF51822 chip without using the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice see section 6.1.4 on page 29. 6.1 Programming and erasing flash using nRFgo Studio Use nRFgo Studio to program or erase a SoftDevice or application HEX file onto the nRF51822 chip. Note: For details on memory organization and protection see the nRF51 Series Reference Manual. List of SEGGER debuggers Device Manager nRF51 chip identification Code memory - Memory readback protection - SoftDevice identification Figure 22 nRFgo Studio dashboard Page 27 of 56 Programming tools nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6.1.1 Selecting a board to program 1. Open nRFgo Studio. 2. In the Device Manager pane select which board to program or erase. 3. The nRF51822 DK modules (PCA10004/ PCA10005) cannot be selected directly. The boards must be selected through the J-Link debugger connected to them. To do this, you either select the actual module located under Motherboard > Boardx or by clicking on nRF51 Programming. 4. Select the debugger you want to use from the list of available J-Link debuggers under Segger to use. 6.1.2 Identifying the nRF51 chip and chip content When you select a board, nRFgo Studio identifies the nRF51822 chip and how its memory is organized. The following chip and memory information is displayed: • nRF51 chip identification - Identifies the chip by name and code variant (for example, nRF51822 QFAACA). If the debugger is not connected to the chip, or the debugger has a problem communicating with the chip, it will show the following message “No device detected. Ensure that you have the SEGGER connected correctly to the board and that the board is powered and configured for debugging.” • Code memory - Shows how the code memory is organized in one or two regions (Region 0 and 1) and the size of each region. For devices containing a SoftDevice, the code memory is divided in two regions, with the SoftDevice in Region 0. The tool shows you how much memory is used by the SoftDevice and how much is left for the application. • Memory readback protection - Shows how the readback protection is set. The two possible options are readback protection on Region 0 or readback protection of the whole code memory. If there is only one region the option is readback protection on (All) or off. • SoftDevice identification - nRFgo Studio tries to identify the firmware located in the chip at Region 0. For the firmware that it recognizes it prints the ID (in clear text) for the unrecognized firmware it prints the FWID number. 6.1.3 Erase all Use Erase all in the following situations: • You have a chip that is programmed with a SoftDevice but you want to remove it and have a blank chip. • You have programmed an application on a clean chip using nRFgo Studio with the option “Lock entire chip from readback”. To use the Erase all function, follow the steps in section 6.1.1 on page 28. Then click Erase all. Page 28 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6.1.4 Programming a SoftDevice This function lets you program the SoftDevice onto the chip. 1. 2. 3. 4. Follow the steps in section 6.1.1 on page 28 and then select the Program SoftDevice tab. Click Browse and select the HEX file to program. Select whether to enable or disable readback protection of Region 0. Set the SoftDevice size. This sets the size of the code memory region 0 and will not be available if the size is defined by the HEX file. Note: The S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice can be downloaded from www.nordicsemi.com by logging into your MyPage account and entering the product key printed in the Development Kit. Page 29 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6.1.5 Programming an application This function lets you program an application onto the chip. Before nRFgo Studio starts programming it verifies that the HEX file matches the actual memory configuration. If it matches, nRFgo Studio continues with the programming, if not it stops the programming and returns an error message. For example, if an application requires the SoftDevice on the chip, it will check the memory configuration for the SoftDevice before programming the chip. Note: This programming will not set up any memory Regions. 1. Follow the steps in section 6.1.1 on page 28 and then select the Program Application tab. 2. Click Browse and select the HEX file to program. 3. Select whether to enable or disable readback protection of the entire chip. If you enable readback protection, you will have to do an Erase All to reprogram the chip again. Note: A chip that is programmed with Lock entire chip from read back enabled will not work with a development toolchain. To make it work you must perform Erase all. Lock entire chip from read back can be used to prevent an accidental overwrite of the chip content. Page 30 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6.2 Application development The user application is compiled, linked, and downloaded independently from the SoftDevice. This means that developing and debugging on a chip pre-programmed with a SoftDevice is similar to that of a blank chip. The main differences are memory layout and the call stack size. 6.2.1 Configuring memory layout Specific SoftDevice versions and stacks could have different requirements. Please review these before proceeding. The applications vector table must be set up differently depending on whether it will run on a chip that is blank or pre-programmed with a SoftDevice. The SoftDevice program area starts at address 0x0 and has a predefined size. The application start vector must be placed right after the SoftDevice. The available size has to be set so that it uses the remaining memory for the application. Similarly, the SoftDevice data area starts at the lowest RAM address. The application data area must be placed after the SoftDevice data area. Table 5 shows examples for setting up the start address and size depending on the code and data size used by the SoftDevice. The example is based on a chip with 256 kB of code memory and 16 kB of RAM. SoftDevice Device App. code Available code configuration Code memory RAM usage start address memory usage App. data start address Available RAM Blank chip 0 kB 0 kB 0x0 0x40000 0x20000000 0x4000 SoftDevice A 64 kB 2 kB 0x10000 0x30000 0x20000800 0x3800 SoftDevice B 128 kB 8 kB 0x20000 0x20000 0x20002000 0x2000 Table 5 SoftDevice memory layout Note: See the nRF51822 Product Specification for details on the total code memory and RAM available in the device. The amount of code memory and RAM used by the SoftDevice is described in the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice Specification. There are two ways to configure the memory layout: • Using Keil IDE • Using a Scatter file (not covered in this document) Note: The example code given by Nordic Semiconductor configures the memory layout in the Keil IDE. Scatter file loading is not available when using the evaluation version of Keil IDE. Page 31 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6.2.1.1 Memory layout configuration in Keil IDE To access the Keil IDE memory layout: 1. Click the Project menu and select Options for Target. 2. Select the Linker tab. 3. Check Use memory layout from Target Dialog. Figure 23 Keil linker settings Page 32 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 4. 5. 6. 7. Select the Target tab. In Read/Only Memory Areas, define values for Start and Size. In Read/Write Memory Areas, define values for Start and Size as seen in Figure 24. Click OK. Below is an example configuration for an application using a chip with 256 kB of code memory and 16 kB of RAM, and a SoftDevice using 128 kB of code memory and 8 kB of RAM (SoftDevice B described in Table 5 on page 31). • Base code memory address 0x20000 and available code memory size is 0x20000 (128 kB). • Base RAM memory address 0x20002000 and available RAM size is 0x2000 (8 kB).

The application must reserve enough memory for both itself and the SoftDevice in the call stack. The call stack size required by the SoftDevice varies between devices and protocol stack versions, and is supplied in the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice Specification. The user application sets its call stack size plus the amount needed by the SoftDevice. It then writes the stack pointer at the first address of the application Reset Vector. Note: Using Keil with the ARMCC toolchain, the call-stack size can be set using the Stack_Size definitions in your projects startup file, typically arm_startup_nrf51.s. Stack_Size EQU call-stack size AREA Stack_Mem SPACE __initial_sp 0x400 ; The application call-stack size + protocol STACK, NOINIT, READWRITE, ALIGN=3 Stack_Size Page 34 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 6.2.3 Debugger configuration Project files delivered in the SDK are configured and ready for download and debugging. If a new application project is used, the debugger must be properly configured. To configure the debugger: 1. In Keil, select Options for Target (ALT+F7) from the Project menu. The Options for Target dialog box appears. 2. Select the Debug tab. 3. Apply the Use option and select the J-Link/J-Trace debugger from the list. 4. Set Driver DLL to SARMCM3.DLL. 5.

The debugger will read this area as 0x0000 (no operation instruction). The code memory area occupied by the SoftDevice is write and erase protected. When the SoftDevice is enabled, the Memory Protection Unit implements a write protection to certain peripherals used by the protocol stack. Protected peripherals are described in the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice Specification.Configure the debugger and compile and link the application code.

Page 38 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 7 Debugging the nRF51822 For debugging with SEGGER J-Link, see Appendix A on page 49. For general information of how to debug using the Keil μVision IDE, see http://www.keil.com/uvision/debug.asp. The following steps tell how to configure the debugger in Keil. 1. In the Project menu click Options for Target (CTRL+F7). 2. Select the Debug tab. 3. To enter debugging mode click Start/Stop Debug Session or CTRL+F5. Figure 31 Start debugging mode Page 39 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 7.1 nRF51822 debug features and precautions This section contains information about the System Viewer Windows and debugging an application when a readback protected SoftDevice is present. 7.1.1 System Viewer windows The System Viewer enables you to select device peripherals and see their contents in separate windows. In the View menu point to System Viewer and select the peripheral you want to see. The peripheral register values are displayed in their respective pane in Keil, as seen in Figure 32. More information on System Viewer can be found at: http://www.keil.com/uvision/db_view_sysview.asp. Figure 32 System Viewer window of the RNG peripheral Page 40 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 7.1.2 Debugging an application when a readback protected SoftDevice is present Debugging applications with a SoftDevice present behaves as described in http://www.keil.com/uvision/ debug.asp, except when the program counter is in Region 0 on a SoftDevice with readback protection enabled. Code words from addresses in the protected area will always return zero to the debugger. Any values in peripheral registers that are restricted or blocked by the SoftDevice will be invisible to the debugger as well. Information on the SoftDevice configuration and memory resource mapping can be found in the S110 nRF51822 SoftDevice Specification. Note: Avoid single stepping to the protected area. Instead, set the breakpoint right after SVC calls while debugging and run the application to the actual breakpoint, see Figure 34 on page 42. The “step over” function (F10) may also be used instead to step over SVC calls to avoid delays when entering the readback protected area. Figure 33 Debugger information for a setup with a SoftDevice enabled in the protected area Page 41 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 Figure 34 Setup with breakpoint after an SVC call Page 42 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 8 Testing the physical layer with Direct Test Mode The Direct Test Mode (DTM) interface enables you to test the RF parameters/performance of the Bluetooth low energy radio design. It can be used for performance testing, tuning your prototypes, and compliance testing. This interface is compliant with the description in the Bluetooth Specification, Version 4.0, Volume 6, Part F. DTM testing requires that you program the chip with the DTM application that is delivered with the nRF51 SDK as described in section 8.2 on page 45. The DTM UART setting features: • • • • • 8.1 1 stop bit 8 data bits 19200 baud rate No flow control (meaning no RTS/CTS) No parity Kit setup for UART The Direct Test Mode is accessed through the UART on the nRF51822 module. The following steps show how to get set up for DTM testing. 1. Mount one of the nRF51822 modules (either PCA10004 or PCA10005) onto the nRFgo Motherboard. 2. Connect a double cable, or two single cables, between P15 and P8 on the Motherboard as shown in Figure 35. The UART data pins RXD and TXD will be present on the I/O port pins P0.1 and P0.3 as seen in Table 7 on page 44. Make sure the RXD/TXD labels match for each wire. This matches the default setting in the SDK project ble_app_dtm. 3. The RS232 header (P15) is connected to the RS232 serial port interface (J2) through a RS232 converter. Connect a serial cable from RS232 to the serial port on your computer. Make sure S11 is switched to ON. 4. Connect the Motherboard to your computer using a USB cable. 5. Connect the J-Link Lite CortexM-9 to the nRF51822 module with a 10 pin connector. The USB cable connects the J-Link Lite CortexM-9 to your computer. You are now ready to begin testing with Direct Test Mode in nRFgo Studio.

If you don't have a Bluetooth tester you can access the interface using this Development Kit and nRFgo Studio to run the tests. Note: In nRFgo Studio, the Program button under Direct Test Mode UART Interface will not work on the nRF51 platform. Page 44 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 8.2 Programming the nRF51822 module with DTM The nRF51822 module has to be programmed with the DTM application found in the nRF51 SDK. This application is provided with its source code and needs to be compiled using Keil. 1. Locate the DTM application project found under \ARM\Device\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\nrf6310\ble\ble_app_dtm\arm. 2. Open the DTM project in Keil μVision by double clicking the ble_app_dtm.uvproj file. 3. Click the Build icon or press F7 to build the project. 4. Only one SEGGER device should be connected to your computer. Make sure it is also connected to the nRF51822 development module to ensure the program is downloaded to the correct target. 5. Go to the Flash menu and click Download to load the program (or click the Load icon). You are now ready to start DTM testing either using the Direct Test Mode UART interface included in nRFgo Studio or connecting 3rd party equipment. 8.3 DTM testing using nRFgo Studio Select Direct Test Mode in the Feature pane underneath Bluetooth to start the Direct Test Mode UART interface in nRFgo Studio. Note: Set up on and Program are not functional when testing on the nRF51 platform. For details on how to use the Direct Test Mode UART interface see the nRFgo Studio help file (or press F1 when in Studio). Page 45 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 9 Software Development Kit The nRF51 Software Development Kit (SDK) enables you to develop applications for the following protocol stacks: • Bluetooth low energy (using the S110_nRF51822 SoftDevice) • Proprietary 2.4 GHz, including Nordic's Gazell protocol • Non-concurrent combinations of Bluetooth low energy and proprietary 2.4 GHz 9.1 Installing the nRF51 SDK The nRF51 SDK is a part of the DK downloadable content available from your My Page account, see section 2.2 on page 5. The SDK is downloaded as a MSI file (a windows installer) and is installed by running the application. When installing the SDK you can select: Keil MDK Support, Master Control Panel, and/or Custom install. • Keil MDK support - installs Keil μVision example project files, the code memory programming algorithm for the J-Link debugger, and the Nordic nRF51 series device database file for Keil. • Custom install - installs a software archive to a customized location. • nrfjprog - installs a command line programming interface to be used with SEGGER debuggers. Note: The Keil MDK Support option will only be available if you already have the Keil MDK toolchain installed. Page 46 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 10 Troubleshooting The nRF51822 device on the PCA10004/5 does not respond when I try to contact it. What has happened? Verify that the jumper on connector K1 on the nRF51822 module is set in the position Pin 2 and Pin 3. When I connect multiple SEGGER J-Link debugger boards to my computer, μVision does not recognize them correctly. This is a known limitation with μVision in MDK v4.53 or earlier that is fixed in later versions. Upgrade to version 4.54 or later. The debugger doesn’t work. Please refer to section 4.2.1 on page 15. On my 32 bit Windows XP machine, I get an error message with code 2908 when reinstalling either the nRF514 or nRF518 SDK. Installing or reinstalling either the nRF518 SDK or the nRF514 SDK after the nRF518 SDK has been uninstalled will cause error message code 2908 during installation. Use the Task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to end the task nRF514/8 SDK Setup. Drivers included in nRF518 will still be installed (if not already installed). The debugger seems to freeze while debugging. If running a SoftDevice that has been programmed with the “Lock SoftDevice from Read back” enabled (see section section 6.1 on page 27, the debugger will halt while stepping to an SVC instruction. You should set the breakpoint after the SVC instruction and run the application to the breakpoint, or step over any SVC instructions. See section 7.1.2 on page 41 for more details. I have a problem sending/receiving data using the USB to UART bridge. In order to use the USB to UART bridge the software on nRF51822 has to enable flow control. When reconnecting the PCA10000 (using the USB cable) the terminal program running on your computer has to be restarted (you should wait for it to end before disconnecting). Otherwise it locks up the serial port and the terminal. Software gets out of sync while debugging. Setting/modifying breakpoints on a running system using the SEGGER debugger will halt the CPU, which may result in software that is out of sync. You should avoid setting breakpoints while the system is running. The debugger does not halt on breakpoints. Some Keil projects in the SDK have Optimization level 3 (-03) and Optimize for time checked. If you are debugging an application with these settings, your breakpoint set might have no effect. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press Alt+F7 to open the Target options dialog. Select C/C++. Select Optimization level 0 from the scroll down list. Uncheck Optimize for time. Page 47 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 The debugger is not able to detect my nRF51 device after I have downloaded my firmware. If the nRF51 device goes to SystemOff too soon after reset, it will have a problem communicating with the J-Link debugger. You can recover using the Recover button in nRFgo Studio. 1. Cycle the power to the nRF51 chip before you start the Recover application. Note: The Recover function will erase all application firmware apart from the one that comes preprogrammed on the chip. The drop-down menu in the Master Control Panel doesn’t display any serial numbers. What has happened? Verify that the Master Control Panel software and the drivers for Segger OB (JLinkCDCInstaller) have been installed and that the nRF51 Development Dongle (PCA10000) has been plugged into a USB port on your computer. The Master Control Panel connects to the nRF51 Development Dongle (PCA10000) but reports “No response from master emulator” in the Log? You haven’t programmed the nRF51 Development Dongle with the Master Emulator Firmware before starting to use it. See Scan for available Bluetooth low energy devices in section 2 on page 4 for details on how to program the Master Emulator Firmware. My project used to work, but after trying out another project using the SoftDevice, it fails. Ensure that the memory layout in your project matches the memory layout on the chip. See section 6.2.1 on page 31 on how to set up memory configuration. Page 48 of 56 nRF51822 Development Kit User Guide v1.2 Appendix A: Installing drivers and configuring KEIL projects for the SEGGER debugger This appendix describes the steps for installing the software and using the SEGGER J-Link Lite debugger with Keil μVision for nRF51 series devices, based on J-Link software version 4.52b or later.
