    Hi,
    I am facing the issue while trying to run code from SES.
    Environment:
    PCA10056 board, nRF52840, no change to the board.
    Agilent / Keysight DC Power Analyzer N6705B
    SES for ARM v4.12
    Segger JLink v6.40
    S140 SoftDevice s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice / s140_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice

    For the power analysis using DC Power Analyzer, I was using examples from nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96.
    I had copied via windows USB drive JLink, components\softdevice\s140\hex\s140_nrf52_6.1.0_softdevice or DeviceDownload\s140nrf52611\s140_nrf52_6.1.1_softdevice.
    It was successful.
    Edited the project ble_app_pwr_profiling_pca10056_s140 in ble_peripheral\ble_app_pwr_profiling\ to make the advertising at 1 sec intervals.
    It worked for a while. I was able to detect and connect from the nRF Connect Android app.

    After some testing and trials and all, now not able to flash from the SES.

    Error is:

    Tried using J-Flash, to connect, erase chip... and the error log:

    And JFlash-Lite

    Source Code

    1. Connecting to J-Link...
    2. Connecting to target...
    3. ERROR: Could not connect to target.
    4. Done


    Also, nrfjprog with options to erase chip,
    In that case, it's always same error: JLinkARM.dll CORESIGHT_WriteAPDPReg returned error -1. JLinkARM.dll CORESIGHT_WriteAPDPReg returned error -102.

    attached the log.

    As of now,
    though not able to connect from SES debugger, but able to detect the USB drive JLink in windows when connected. Then, by copying hex, not able detect using Android app.
    Only nRF Connect Android app is able to detect & connect.
    ==>
    may be, even though JLink drive disappears and appears back in Windows, does not mean flashing successful ? There is no ERROR log file inside the JLink drive !


    What should I do to bring it up !? Please guide me.

    Thanks in advance !

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Such an issue is not known to us. Connect to all our nRF boards is working without any issues.
    Could you post a screenshot of a J-Link Commander connect session?
    wiki.segger.com/J-Link_cannot_…ty_using_J-Link_Commander
    Do you have an external J-Link to use for testing? It might be that the J-Link OB was damaged in some way.
    Does connecting work with another "fresh" eval board?
    Could you provide a J-Link log of the failed session?

    Best regards,
    Nino
