flashing issue with nRF9161 (always use --recover)

[Vojislav]

Hi, 

What I noticed is that every time I want to flash the nRF9161dk I need to do `west flash --recover` for it to work. 

I am flashing from Mac M1 (Sonoma 14.5) with `West version: v1.0.0`

Is there something I can do to avoid need for recover every time I flash?

Best regards,
Vojislav

Hi, 

Several Nordic Semiconductor SoCs or SiPs supported in the nRF Connect SDK offer an implementation of the Access port protection mechanism (AP-Protect), a form of readback protection. To disable the AP-Protect, you must recover your device. In other words, it needs `west flash --recover` if the read back protection mechanism is enabled. See Flashing the nRF9161 DK.
