Reset Bricked nRF51822 Beacon Kit

Hi,

I've recently bricked my nrF51822 Beacon Kit (www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF51822-Bluetooth-Smart-Beacon-Kit)

...by uploading some bad firmware. I can no longer program it over the air. I want to reset it back to its factory state. Can't find the documentation to do that on this specific kit, is there a specific procedure?

Thanks!

  • Out of curiosity, what happens when you have both the battery and the TC cable connected to your board? I'm asking since you used the word "or" in (1).

    The power pin on the TC cable is (usually) an output from your device and an input to your programmer. (The ULINK2.) This is to allow the programmer to adapt to the main voltage used on the device.

    So generally, just connecting the programmer to your device doesn't provide any power. That could cause both (2) and (3).
