With this update to Bluetooth, there are significant changes and many new concepts to learn for developers and product makers. What is Bluetooth mesh? The mesh capability is a significant update and enables a radical new approach to making Bluetooth applications. This first (v0.9.1) release is packed with new features and concepts for Bluetooth. You can check this by setting a breakpoint inside the “for ( )” loop in main(): Note that once your breakpoint triggers, the internal watchdog timer in the softdevice will get triggered and your program will most likely stop working until you reset it.The day after the Bluetooth SIG announced the 1.0 spec of the Bluetooth mesh we are happy to announce the nRF5 SDK for Mesh for our nRF51 and nRF52 Series SoCs. If you build and run your project now, the softdevice initialization should succeed.The _estack value is specified in the same linker script after the MEMORY section: Set LENGTH for SRAM to _estack – app_ram_base.Set ORIGIN for SRAM to the value of app_ram_base.

Set LENGTH for SRAM_SOFTDEVICE to the last 4 digits of app_ram_base (that are equal to app_ram_base – start of RAM).

Then press “OK” and open the copied linker script (it will appear in the Solution Explorer) in Visual Studio.

Open VisualGDB Project Properties, go to the MSBuild Settings page, locate the Linker Script field and click “Make a local copy”:

Now we will change the application build settings to specify the correct value.

The correct amount of RAM can be found from evaluating the app_ram_base variable: The app_ram_base variable will contain the correct starting address for your application’s data section that should immediately follow the RAM block reserved for the softdevice. The check is triggered when the softdevice reports that it requires more RAM than the application currently reserved for its use. The program should stop at a check in the softdevice_enable() function.

Build and start debugging your project.

As most Nordic boards come with an on-board J-Link, simply selecting “Segger J-Link” and proceeding with default settings will do:

Select the “Bluetooth LE UART” sample and ensure that the board type corresponds to the board you are using (PCA10040 for nRF52-DK):.

Also check the “provide default stubs for system calls” checkbox:

Proceed with the default MSBuild -> Embedded Binary setting:.

Start Visual Studio and open the VisualGDB Embedded Project Wizard:.

We will create a project based on the Bluetooth LE UART example for the nRF52-DK board, show how the default reserved RAM amount is insufficient, find out the correct value and modify the project accordingly.

Starting from the SDK 13.0, the exact amount of reserved RAM depends on the enabled softdevice functionality and this tutorial shows how to determine the correct value and specify it in your projects. In order for the softdevice to function correctly, your application needs to reserve some of the RAM for its exclusive use.

The softdevice is a separate code library provided by Nordic that uses some of the chip’s FLASH and RAM and handles the low-level Bluetooth LE communication. This tutorial shows how to adjust the memory reserved for the Nordic nRF5x softdevice.
