Export to GCC for RedBear BLE nano projects ?
Hi everyone,
I have just begun writing some code for the Redbear BLE Nano. I am not a big fan of the idea of cloud IDE and wanted to export those projects to GCC to work on them locally. Unfortunately it seems that this option is not available for the nRF51.
Is this going to be supported in the future ?
Or is there still a way to get a simple Makefile to compile those projects without the need for an IDE ?

Attempting to export for their larger nRF51 BLE board instead does at least product a download archive, but there seem to be some Makefile bugs and issues with the size of the resulting file not fitting.
Since it is the same chip in either case, those have more to do with poor setup of the GCC project than they do with difference between boards.
Some of this may have to do with the version of the soft device linked.
The net effect though is that these boards are not ready for prime time as a hardware+software product, though hopefully the hardware itself is workable if you look elsewhere for guidance on making a sound GCC project.
