NRF51822 pca10000 online blink example hex works, but neither arm-gcc export nor offline tools do

I'm working with the NRF51822 pca10000 dongle. If I make a blink example online and download the hex, uploading it through nrfgo studio it works and my led (p21) blinks.

However if I export that for arm-gcc and compile with makefile, it doesnt. Similarly if I use the blinky test in the offline tools (test 25-again with p21) with the python builder it also doesn't work.

Ive checked and the offline tools require arm-gcc 4.7 so thats what Im using:

arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) 4.7.3 20121207 (release) [ARM/embedded-4_7-branch revision 194305]

Any ideas?

OK. So on a whim I used make merge to merge the softdevice and the export worked. In my experience I shouldn't have needed the soft device for base gpio calls. but oh well I guess. Havent tried merging yet with offline toolchain but I presume its the same
