  • [ABANDONED] JLink EDU Unable to communicate with nrf51802

    Hi All,

    We just got a JLink EDU, and we're having trouble flashing/talking to a board running an nRF51802 chip.. this board was previously flashed with stlinks.
    On one end, when we use nrfjprog we get spammed with this

    When we use JLink commander, it also doesn't connect, i.imgur.com/dcSzseV.png

    Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • Hi,
    Thank you for your inquiry.

    We only have nRF51822 devices in house.
    I just gave the connect a quick try and everything works as expected with it.


    Do you use custom hardware or an evaluation board? In the latter case which one?
    If custom hardware, do you experience the same problem on an evaluation board?
    Could you please follow the troubleshooting article on the page linked below
    and send us a screenshot of the entire J-Link Commander output?

    Could you please send us a J-Link log file? How to enable:

  • Hi,
    Did you check the cables / connection on another PC?

    This does not look like an issue with the connect sequence but setup related,
    especially since we did not receive a single other report about such an issue.
