Can DAPLink be used to program and debug nrf52832?

[Bhaumik]

Hey Guys,

Please pardon me if this is stupid question, I am trying to create a development board with nrf52832, and I want to have a debug probe on board.

I found open source debug probe from mbed called DAPLink, they have reference design called SWDAP, given its a CMSIS DAP probe can it be used to program and debug nrf52 devices over the SWD pins?

Here are the links to the hardware and software. developer.mbed.org/.../ github.com/.../README.md

Do I have to do anything special to make it work with NRF52 devices?

Thanks, Bhaumik

I tested that recently and it just worked fine. You cannot use it in nRFGo Studio, but as far as i remember, nrfjprog was good with daplink.

Also see this thread about how to use keil with CMSIS-DAP.

Ok so SWDAP or DAP link can to drag and drop programming and HID debugging. It does not use SWD (thats what is my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong). If I create my own the reference SWDAP hardware, I will have to create a firmware for NRF52 device. DAP Link firmware has steps on how to add new targets. Do have the changes that you made to the code?

I have not changed my daplink firmware. I think adding targets is needed only when you need drag'n'drop programming, which i did not need. I just used it in keil and nrfjprog.

Please how did you do to programming with a DAPLink and nrfjprog ?
