 My board is based around the FSC-BT630 module, which contains an nRF52832 chip.

&lt;p&gt;GND_DETET is an input pin to the debugger to chek for the presence of an external device. So if the GND_DETECT is pulled low which I guess it is if you left it unconnected, the debugger won&amp;#39;t find an external device connected. Can you also confirm that the custom board is connected from VDD to VDD&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;VTG on the DK?&lt;/p&gt;
