Flashing a 3rd party NFR52832 with ST link V2 on Eclise?

[MikeLemon]

Hello,

I am in a little bit of trouble here trying to flash a 3rd party module that is mounted on a custom PCB I made with the SWD pins exposed for programming.

I've been using it with the Arduino IDE and the st link V2 so far(Thus flashed softdevice S132 on it already) but I want to make the transacting from it sins it lacks capabilities. any way I know it works in term of hardware.

Now I'm not interested in wasting my money on buying the Segger J link so I want to use the ST link V2 so far I've followed this tutorial: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ up to the point of "Flash download" build the blinky code successful and waiting to see how you flash the chip with it.

Does anybody have any experience with it? thanks for your time.

Ooops, sorry but it would get a book to answer all these I'm afraid. If you are new to pure C development under GCC (where Makefiles and LD scripts are used to build and link the binary) you will need to find some general tutorials to this techno, there are many of them on the internet. Once you are fine with that you could approach nRF5 SDK. I would highly suggest to start with the latest release (v13.1.0) and nRF52 DK (PCA10040) board and just simply run few pre-compiled examples, then build them yourself and run again. Only then I would go to custom board (there are few rather simple steps how to "derive" header files for your custom board) and custom code. Sure, you can skip these steps but I cannot help you with that, sorry.
