nrf52840DK not detected after flashing an external board

Hi all,

I recently bought an nrf52840DK, and yesterday I tried to program an external board through the p20 connector on the DK with the SWD pins. I was able to flash the code without any problems and verify that it worked.

Everything seemed to go well until today, when I connected the DK to the computer and it was no longer detected. It doesn't appear as a device in Windows Device Manager, in the nRF Connect extension for Visual Studio Code, or in the desktop version of nRF Connect. I also tried using the SEGGER J-Link Configurator, but it doesn't show up there either.

I assume the problem is with the DK since I have tried different cables and USB ports, and the result has been the same.

The external board contains an nrf52840, and the connections I made to flash it are:


nrf52840DK ----------    external board
SWDSEL     ----------          VCC
SWDIO        ----------        SWDIO
SWDCLK    ----------       SWDCLK
GND            ----------         GND
RESET        ----------     RESET_N

I'm using:

  • nrf52840DK 3.0.2

  • nRF Connect SDK v2.9.1

  • SEGGER J-Link Configuration V8.28

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance,

Jaume
