Issues programming nRF52 (on nRF52DK) with BLE example code

[nirk]

Hey,

We're are newbies with Nordic and are trying to program BLE HRS example code to run straight on the nRF52832 (instead of the PCA10040 target). In order to do so we do the following:

• Program SoftDevice ('s132_nrf52_2.0.0-7.alpha_softdevice.hex') using 'nRFgo Studio'
• Open the example project 'ble_app_hrs_s132_with_dfu_pca10040' on Keil
• Compile and run with 's132_pca10040' target - Works well

Then we try to compile and run the example app straight on the nRF52832 (target - 'flash_s132_nrf52_2.0.0-7.alpha_softdevice') and encounter issues.

The compilation works well (but suspiciously fast...) but when we try loading it to the nRF52 we get the following message - Error: Flash Download failed - "Cortex-M4"

It leads us to the following questions:

1. Should the nRF52832 be able to run a custom application in addition to the BLE/ANT softDevice driver it runs?
2. Why doesn't it work? What do we do wrong?

We would appreciate your help about it,

Thanks!

Hi Ole Bauck

Exactly: the problem was that I was using the wrong board. Now it works, thank you very much!
