I'm trying to program a custom board with a Raytac nRF52832 module using the nRF52 DK's onboard J-Link via the P20 debug out port. The J-Link only detects the onboard nRF52832, not my external module.
I've checked the following:
-
My custom board is powered with a solid 3V.
-
The module's DEC4 pin shows 1.234V, so its internal regulator is working.
-
All P20 connections (GND, SWDCLK, SWDIO, RESET) are wired correctly per the DK user guide.
-
The P20 VTG pin is correctly connected to my board's 3V supply.
-
The P19 debug out port is completely empty.
To verify my board, I connected an ST-Link v2 with OpenOCD, and it successfully detected the chip. The log shows:
- Since the ST-Link works, is there a special
nrfjprogornrfutilcommand other then "recover" needed to force the DK's J-Link to use the P20 port? I tried vs code board recover and nrf tool recovering but it did not help. - If I give up on the DK, will a J-Link EDU Mini work correctly with a 3V (not 3.3V) target board? I will buy j-link edu if it will work.
- Can I recover chip with using ST-link?
