RE: Third-Party Module cannot run and debug examples in ncs

Hello,

The typical issue that leads to this behavior is the lack of the condencator required for the DCDC converter to work.

The fix is to disable the DCDC in your prj.conf by adding:

CONFIG_BOARD_ENABLE_DCDC=n

However, the board(s) that you already programmed with an application that is enabling the DCDC when it is not possible to use it is probably stuck in some reset loop.

What you can try is to save this snippet into a .bat file on your computer, and name it recover_script.bat (or whatever you like to call it):

:loop
nrfjprog --recover -f NRF52
goto loop

Then run this script from a command line, while you power cycle the board. Let it run for a few minutes, while power cycling the board every couple of seconds. Then the goal is that the script is able to hook onto the debugger before the chip browns out.

Best of luck, and best regards,

Edvin
