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.

Also Soft Device isn't any kind of bootloader, it's simply BLE stack implementing certain parts of BT SIG specification on nRF5x HW. Soft Device itself does nothing, you need to build your application FW on top of its API, compile and link it properly for given start address (specific for each SD version) and load it to the chip. Only then something can run (but it will be mainly your FW code which will "boot" the chip and say if and when and how stack will be initialized).
