flashing an Ezurio BT510 sensor using the nRF52 DK

Hi,

Apologies for a newbie question (I am far from a developer and just need to flash firmware)

I have a nRF52 DK connected to my PC running nRF Connect for desktop

Should the sensor appear on the list of devices in nRF Connect when I had the debug out cable connected to the sensor?

I need to flash a hex file to the Ezurio BT510 sensor

  • Yes, windows command prompt. In termnal window in nRF connect you have to selec device. Large blue section that says "Select device" in your screen shot. It shot drop down and show the DK you have connected. Select the one and then you can connect to port.

    Best regards

  • Hi - I don't get any response with com 3 or com 4 (no others showing)

  • Then you should use the programmer app, not the terminal app. The programmer app uses the SWD interface to program while the terminal app tries to connect through the UART lines on the debugger and they are connected to the nRF device on the DK itself.

  • Hi - thanks, this is what I was originally doing but with the debugger cable

    It looks like I may have been advised wrong at this side re cables etc.

    So to confirm I should be connecting to here?

  • That will be the same as using the 10 pin header, you will be able to program the board but there will be no UART connection. That means the programmer app will work while the terminal will not.

  • Hmm - we already tried using the programmer as above at the top using th 10 pin header - the ezurio bt510 sensor does not appear as a device to be able to flash it

  • You will only see the DK as that is the debugger you are using. If you erase the target then you can determine if it is the onboard nRF52832 or the external device as that should have 1024kB of flash while the one on the DK has only 512kB.

  • Hi - I see this which I presume means it is not seeing the ezurio BT510?
