App does not start from bootloader when it is programmed via jlink

[Aymen Rejeb]

Hi All,

Please, I would like to know why when using bootloader on nRF51822, the app does not start when it is being flashed with a debugger (I'm using the J-Link), however when programmed with MCP (Master Control Pannel) using DFU service every thing is alright and the app starts correctly?

The application is placed at 0x1C000 and it is exactly where the boot-loader expects it to be:

However when checking bootloader_settings->bank_0 flag, no valid application seems to be present:

Please note that the app is already flashed via J-Link:

Would you please confirm that when using DFU bootloader we can no longer flash the application using a debugger? and is there any alternative to handle that?

Kind Regards, Ayman.
