Steps:

  1. download and extract nRF51-SDK 6.0.0 (or 5.1.0) and s110 softdevice 7.0.0 (or 6.0.0)

  2. install arm-none-eabi-gcc for Linux or MacOSX:

    from: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded

  3. create your project file

  4. copy Makefile.template as Makefile to your project directory

note[1]: OpenOCD supported (0.9-trunk advised) if you set FLASHER as OpenOCD at Makefile.common file. You also need to adjust $OPENOCD command for your OpenOCD compatible dongle at same file. You can also flash "softdevice 6.0" with OpenOCD flasher. PS: This patch increases OpenOCD speed by 10 ( http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/2204/ )

note[2]: Currently JLink (for MacOSX) v4.90b will not require disabling CDC, highly recommend use that new version, that will allow use GDB and virtual com port simutaneously.
