 I browsed the forum and found some notes around erasing the UICR (nrfjprog --eraseuicr / nrfjprog --recover) that run successfully</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 12 Feb 2025 19:27:31 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/118889/not-able-to-flash-nrf52840-dk-unless-the-reset-pin-tied-to-nrf_vdd" /><item><title>RE: Not able to flash nrf52840 DK unless the reset pin tied to NRF_VDD</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/522739?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Feb 2025 19:27:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ce815121-c40d-4164-9903-f383efff051d</guid><dc:creator>ZebbleMan</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Did some additional digging...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had the power profiler 2 connected to the nrf52840-dk in ampere/current mode.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve removed that and jumpered P22 and now everything is working as expected!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know I had installed a few firmwares in this config and everything worked.&amp;nbsp; Not sure why it decided to stop working.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I see one note that references this in the PP2 docs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;To reprogram the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="keyword"&gt;nRF52840&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;SoC while the DK is prepared for current measurements, remove measurement devices from&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="keyword pcb"&gt;P22&lt;/span&gt;, and then connect the USB cable.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I guess this is normal and what I initially saw was a fluke?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, back to the academy courses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
