Hiya Andrea,

This worked for me by loosely following these instructions: https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/content/download/13641/219547/file/nRF51822_Evaluation_Kit%20User_Guide%20v1.2.pdf

But, as I currently only have the m-kit, and not the eval kit yet, all I did at this stage was download and install Keil V4 and the nrf51 SDK (i.e. I skipped the nrFGo and J-link setup & config for now).

Basic steps were:

run: mdk474.exe

run: nrf51_sdk_v5_2_0_39364.exe

export mbed_blinky from mbed

double clicked the project file and it complied ok in Keil

hope that helps. Wayne

Hello,

you have to have installed KEIL 5 version, and installed pack from nRF which should install device specific files to uVision.

Hello, Thank you guys! It seems I need to buy a nRF51 Evkit or Devkit to be able to download the nRFSDK and install the nRF pack for Keil. Is it correct? Cheers, Andrea
