Description : It is not possible to flash or debug an application with IAR on the Nordic target. This issue is caused by a bad interaction between CMSIS-DAP IF present on the Nordic boards and IAR CMSIS-DAP debug driver. Workaround : The best solution is to switch to the JLINK IF image and configure the IAR project to use it. Download the JLink IF and install it on the board. Open the exported project in IAR then go to its options. Go to the debugger section In the setup tab choose J-link/J-trace as the debug driver. In the Download tab disable the Use flash loader(s) option. In the Extra options tabs, tick the Use command line options and add the following content: --drv_vector_table_base=0x0.
