v2.8.0 SDK Flashing ADAC Error

[Chris R]

Hi,

We were building and flashing using v2.7.99-cs1 and upreved to use v2.8.0

When we flashed the boards that had previously flashed and run fine, they now produce the following error message:

chris@chriss-Mac-Studio implant54 % west flash

Note: We downloaded the latest nrfutil from the website and also reinstalled the 'device' package using nrfutil tool. 

nrfjprog -v
nrfjprog version: 10.24.2 external
JLinkARM.dll version: 8.10b

Any insight is appreciated!

Hi,

Make sure you have followed the migration guide for nRF54H20 (updated bicr, tools, soc binaries etc):
https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/releases_and_maturity/migration/migration_guide_2.8.html#d1769e891 

Make sure you use those versions in specific.

Hi,

I have updated the BICR, updated the SOC Binary (rev B) and have updated my nrfutil device and nrf-regtool to the version specified on that page.

Hello,

I can see that the error message has changed. I suggest request a new DK from your Nordic contact person, the kit you have is likely broken. Make sure to follow the latest bring-up guide when you get a replacement. Link to this case when you ask for a replacement.
