 In all my pre production, I use nrf5340DK to program my designed board using the jlink through jtag 10pin cable. They have been working for over 2 years. 
 In my recent production, I have</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:51:22 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/126965/nrf5340-chip-lock" /><item><title>RE: NRF5340 chip lock</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/560896?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:51:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:37e7ca75-a962-47b3-9701-15e949db0c34</guid><dc:creator>Simonr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can you share some more details about this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is this issue occurring on a DK or a custom board that you&amp;#39;re moving into production with?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are you programming the board with an nRF5340 DK or a dedicated J-Link device, if so, which J-Link model, and what voltages does it support and what voltage is the nRF5340 device running on?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you see this on multiple devices, on some devices out of multiple, or just one device?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can you try doing an &lt;strong&gt;nrfjprog --eraseall&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;nrfutil device --eraseall&lt;/strong&gt; command to see if that gets it out of this locked state?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
