Saying I have some application for nRF52832 that does it's job, and now I want to add Bluetooth LE functionality to it.
I enabled S132 soft device in runtime settings, but how do I include S132 into my project so it's available there?
I tried to compare my project with examples in nRF5 SDK, and I see that examples have two targets in .uvprojx file, one for main app and another for the softdevice; though Keil UI only displays main app target in a project tree. So a softdevice is a kind of hidden target in the example app. But I do not see which settings in Keil UI respond for that.
So, how do I add it as a similar target to my existing app?
What else is necessary to enable it in my code?
This is good approach when you have 'hello world' to merge. But what if existing project is what you said already - some other code merged to another (non-BLE but also not trivial) example from Nordic?
Merging any two non-trivial sets of code is always going to be non-trivial.
But I still think that adding the non-BLE code into a BLE example is the easiest & best way to go in the specific case of the Nordic nRF5 SDK.
This is because getting Nordic's "SoftDevice" BLE stack working is not just a matter of source code - there a whole load of other project options and settings that need to be right. IMO, it is far easier to start with a known-good BLE project - where all that stuff is already done and correct for you.
Your non-BLE code should have none of those issues?
Is the non-BLE code your own, or from a 3rd-party?
This has nothing specifically to do with Keil.
