Soft device error

[Paul Mercer]

Hi,

I am in the process of evaluating the nRF52840 and have the Nordic nRF82840 DK development board.

I am using the Segger Embedded Studio for evaluation.

The following examples are being used:-

GitHub - NordicPlayground/nrf52-ble-app-uart-long-range

The project compile after some interaction with Segger Tech support, but not running correctly.

I have put the board into debug mode, and get the following the attached error.Softdevice error.pdf

Segger are saying this is a Nordic issue and not compiler.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Best Regards

Paul

Are you still seeing the same error or some other error when trying to run the application now? 

From the GitHub project you're trying to build, have you followed the requirements and copied the repository into the \nRF5_SDK_14.2.0\examples\ble_central_and_peripheral folder? Note that this SDK version is very old at this point, and I'd recommend checking out either the latest version of the nRF5 SDK (v17.1.0) or the nRF Connect SDK. The nRF Connect SDK has Coded PHY samples as well that are more stable than this 6 year old GitHub project.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

The only reason I am using this old sample is because there was issues compiling the latest samples and Segger sent me that example.

I will do your recommendations and feedback.

Best Regards

Hi Simon,

I have downloaded the latest Nordic code, and have tried to follow the tutorial for generating a application. Everything seems ok until I try and flash the device.

I get the attached error and it states to recover the device.

I can't find anywhere within the IDE for doing this - can you please point me in the right direction.

Hi,

I have managed to cure the issue. I used the nRF connect programmer and erased from there. Working now.
