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.

Yeah so this is still relevant.

That's the point: most of the people practice flashing and verify HW just by using pre-compiled HWX files from SDK. You've decided to skip that by not using Nordic DK so you have some more steps to go. E.g. compilation in Keil MDK5 IDE typically works out of the box so it's question if you will go by harder way (making GCC and Eclipse or any other combination work) or if you will start from there. Changing board isn't so hard as you just need to change few global defines and write one or two header files from templates such as PCA10040.h. The only thing which might change are LF/HF clock sources, LDO/DCDC usage and particular GPIO PIN routs. So it's matter of minutes, then basic examples from SDK should work on any other HW.

Did you have time to look how basic tutorials and SDK getting started work?
