Writing BLE Firmware - the Easy Way
The previous update showed you how to install Eclipse and all the libraries required to write Bluetooth firmware. In this update we'll explore how easy it is to write Bluetooth firmware with it IOsonata library. Read the full update.
Eclipse Made Easy
Some people think Eclipse is difficult to use, mainly because they don't know how to get started. But, using Eclipse isn't any harder than Keil, IAR, or SES. Unsuccessful installation is mostly due to bad tutorials, especially those from Nordic themselves. So, in this step-by-step tutorial, I will show you how easy it is to install the Eclipse development environment. Read the full update.

Flashing BLYST Nano with IDAP-Link using CoolTerm
The IDAP-Link has a special mode that allows flashing the nRF5x series via the COM port with a terminal program that support sending raw text files such as the CoolTerm. It is especially useful when you need to flash the nRF5x on a computer that does not have all the IDAP software installed. Here is how to use that mode. Read the full update.
Designed for Ease of Use
Most, if not all, tiny modules are designed with compromises. They usually have two options: more I/O and hard to solder, or fewer I/O and easier to solder. The BLYST Nano, on the other hand, is design to be easy to solder without compromising I/O. The video below shows how easily you can hand solder it on the breakout board. Read the full update.
