JLink Info: Could not power-up debug power domain.

[Inspectron]

Hi all,

until now, I used nRF51 Chips on my board. I programed them trough the nRF51DK(PCA10028). But now I would like to work with nRF52832 Chip. I have a nRF52DK(PCA10040) and an application which is working fine on the 52DK.The application is based on peripheral examples from SDK 11. SD is not used. But when I try to download the same application on my own board with the nRF52832 Chip, will get this error:

• JLink Info: Found SWD-DP with ID 0x2BA01477
• JLink Info: Could not power-up debug power domain.
• JLink Info: Found SWD-DP with ID 0x2BA01477
• JLink Error: Communication timed out: Requested 20 bytes, received 0 bytes ! Could not transfer JTAG data. DAP error while reading DP-Ctrl-Stat register.

Error: Flash Download failed - Target DLL has been cancelled.

What means: Could not power-up debug power domain? How can I fix this error?

If I want to program the nRF52832 Chip is it possible to use the Segger from the 51DK, or do I have to use the segger from DK52?

Do I have to use an external crystal for programing the chip? Because I would like to work only with the internal RC oscilator.

This is what I get when I want hwinfo over jlink commander

Reset the chip after programming: If you program the chips from Keil, go to Project -> Options for target -> Debug -> Settings -> Flash download: check/enable the "reset and run" option.

To be fair that wasn't really your question, it was a minor extra question at the end. And the answer is no, you do not need any crystals at all in order to program the device, the internal RC oscillator will start and the MCU will run. I know this partly because I have a board I built 2 days ago where the HF crystal is not working .. but the chip is entirely programmable.

Try using JLink Commander directly, try dropping the frequency, you may have a bad connection which can't take 4MHz transfer or whatever you're using.
