  • [ABANDONED] cannot Debug target, failed to download application

    I have problems to run and debug an example on one of my targets

    Programmer: J-Link plus - connected via SWD-Interface (Segger 6-pin adapter)
    Environment: using SES V5.44
    1. Target: Nordic nRF52832 on a UTOVERTEK UTO-NBL-52A Eval-Board
    2. Target: Nordic nRF52832 on a custom PCB
    Source/Example: ble_app_uart_pca10040_s1321 from Nordic SDK 17.0.2

    The source code compiles without any problems and I'm able to download and debug the code on target #1 (UTO) right away from SES.

    When trying the same with target #2, compile the code with F7 then run it with F5, SES pops up with "failed to download application, Generic error"
    Connecting J-Link works, no problems.
    Also the "target connection properties" seem to be ok, but one thing bothers me: it reports the target as "Cortex-M0" - but the nRF52832 is a Cortex-M4
    But: using the older "nrfGo Studio" I can successfully connect to target #2 and read/write/verify softdevice and applications

    any ideas what might be wrong here ?
    thanks, Matthias
  • Hello Matthias,

    Such an issue is not known to us.
    What is the serial number of your J-Link plus?
    Does programming board #1 work when using J-Link Commander?

    Could you provide a J-Link log of the session with board #2?
