Cannot program BM833 custom board for Bluetooth Direction Finding

[Abudoo99]

I have achieved bluetooth direction finding using nRF52833DK. I would like to do the same with a custom board. I have used the BM833 chip for doing this. I have attached the schematics of the board with this thread. I am flashing the device using Segger J-Link. The custom board is not detected in the VS Code nRF Connect SDK. Any idea what the issue could be?

I have followed this link to set up the custom board:

Hello,

How have you powered your custom board?

I have inserted the battery to the custom board. I guess that should power up the board.

The board is still not detected. Any help regarding this?

Hello,

Have you powered the custom board by correct voltage? Is the board is seen on the device manager panel?

For example:

or if it is seen on nRF programmer app?

Sometimes resetting VSCode also helps to see the board. You can try to upgrade the command line Tools for nRF. 

One more thing to check. Which version of VSCode you are using? Sometimes updating toolchain and SDK also solve this issue.

I had an issue with the SEGGER J-Link that I used. Once I changed it, the flashing worked.
