Found a trouble with read back protect

using nrfjprog --rbp all and got a success

and using nrfjprog --readuicr got unavaible

but if using j-flash and read whole chip, it's able to be readback...

it only happens in

N52832

QFAAB0

1636CQ

tried 5 chips and all got this trouble... quite confuzed

  • Hi, this is really strange. Could you paste output from command line where you do readback protection? Note that it's effective from next chip reset not before, so even after this you can still dump the memory. Could you then reset the board (ideally power off/on), connect with J-Flash and dump some known area, e.g. beginning of address space from offset 0x00000000 where MBR and SoftDevice are? Can you then paste such screenshot? I haven't faced any issue with setting UICR.APPROTECT to PALL on nRF52, chips seems to be locked and debugger doesn't work (neither possibility to issue SWD commands and read memory).
